Taking PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English Academic) Exam can be daunting. But with proper PTE Preparation and resources, you can ace your PTE Academic Exam. Beat the stress and test anxiety with these quick hacks from Pearson Test of English on Speaking section!
Use punctuation to help you decide where to pause when you read
You have 30 – 40 seconds to look at the text before the microphone opens, so use this to break the text up into meaningful chunks, using the punctuation as a guide. This will show you the places where you can make a tiny pause and alter your intonation – going up when you begin reading a chink and falling a little while you end a chunk.
Using appropriate pausing helps you to read more fluently of the text. This will improve your score.
Stress the words that carry important information
When you read the text, stress the words that help to convey meaning, by reading them in a slightly louder voice and adding emphasis to key syllables, e.g, development. Also use rising and falling intonation patterns to show how the ideas are linked or are coming to an end.
Copy the stress and intonation patterns of the sentence you hear
Make a mental note of the way the speaker uses stress and intonation on the recording. These patterns help to convey the better your reproduction of the sentence will be. For example, there are three phrases in this sentence, separated by /, and each one comes a separate message that has its own meaning:
Next week’s tutorial / on Tuesday / has been cancelled.
Make good use of the 40 seconds speaking time
You only have 40 seconds to speak and make sure that you include all the main points of the lecture. If you repeat ideas, correct yourself or hesitate, you will use up a valuable time and loss score points. So keep talking and ignore any mistakes that you make.
Do not try to give a long answer
There is no point in saying more than you need to say. Marks are awarded for a short, accurate answer. There are no extra marks for additional words.
For example, for this question: ‘What type of periodical is published on a daily basis?’, both these answers would score the same marks:
- Newspapers
- It’s newspapers that are published every day.
