CH#2 PTE Essays
Mass Media
Mass media plays a pivotal role in our life. Many people and businesses rely on these mediums for
their day to day transactions. On the flip-side it also bombards us with too much or unwanted
information. This essay will shed a light on various aspects of this issue.Newspapers, radio,
television, and the Internetincluding e- mail and blogsare significantly influential on our society,
especially in affirming attitudes and opinions that are already established. The news media focus the
publics attention on certain personalities and issues, leading many people to form opinions about
them
Mass media sets the news agenda, which shapes the public's views on what is newsworthy and
important. It is a system used by advertisement agencies and media outlets, such as television channels
and radio stations to "convince" their audiences to do or act in a certain way. It appeals to the
vulnerability of the desired target. For instance famous person or persons who are recognized, admired
by whole communities. These individuals have the "Power" to convince their followers or fans into
taking any kind of action or decision. Therefore, these famous people usually are linked or work for
some media outlet and are used, to influence the community accordingly.
The media has changed significantly in the past years. Because of the availability of television and
radio all populations and classes have been exposed to various types of media. The Internet has
provided an even newer media resource. The majority of people live in a very fast paced society. They
have very little time for reading and exploring the truth of information. The producers of media
publication are aware of this and use the media to influence public choice and opinion. The problem
lies in that many people are gullible and society as a whole is easily influenced by the media
representations. The media also responds to public demand and provides the information that the
public craves.
A positive aspect of the medias bias has been that it has facilitated change in peoples perception of
races in a positive manner, exposed people to other cultures, made people aware of environmental
needs, and the needs of people far
away. While there can also be negative implications the media also has to reflect the publics point of
view. With the growing representation of Hispanics, African Americans, and other minority groups,
the media is under pressure to present them in a more positive light.
Climate Change/Global Warming
Since last few decades climate change is afflicting our planet severely. What really is the proper role
for individuals and institutions in addressing climate change? An immediate and natural response may
be that everyone should do their part. Yes it's is the duty of the government, companies, and
individuals to reduce carbon emission to save the planet. This essay will outline the role of each party
in combating climate change.
First as individual, we must significantly reduce the amount of heat-trapping emission we are putting
into the atmosphere. For example use of public transport
instead of car or bike to commute to office regularly by which we can save our own money and
reduction in carbon dioxide emission.
Second the institutions or the company decisions affecting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, for
example, decisions by companies about how to produce electricity, as well as thousands of other goods
and services with less carbon emission.
Third and last to fully address the threat of global warming, we must demand action from our elected
leaders to support and implement a comprehensive set of climate solutions: such as, expand the use of
renewable energy and transform our energy system to a cleaner one. Place limits on the amount of
carbon that polluters are allowed to emit. Build a clean energy economy by investing in efficient
energy technologies, industries, and approaches. For example, increasing in solar energy plants and
decrease in thermal power generation. Reduce tropical deforestation and its associated global
warming emissions.
Finally to conclude it is everybody responsibility to control the global warming to give better future to
our next generation.
Do you think consumers should avoid over packaged products or is it the responsibility of producers?
(Discussion Essay)
A matter of considerable controversy at present is the issue of whether it is the responsibility of
consumers to avoid the over-packaged products. Some people maintain that the producers are the ones
who should be held responsible for this matter. Both sides of this contentious issue will be put under
scrutiny in this essay, and my opinion as to which holds more weight will be given.
To begin with, I will now consider what I hold to be the causes of this phenomenon. Packaging ensures
that people can buy and use products when they want them, in good condition and with little wastage.
However, it is undeniable that some goods have too much packaging. Moreover, the packaged goods
industry is highly competitive, and packaging manufacturers are under pressure to come up with new
and better packaging solutions to compete in their market. The more resources the packaging needs, the
higher the cost of the products and eventually, consumers will have to bear that extra cost.
From consumers perspective, the packaging does not really matter for most buyers as what they care
about is the quality and the price of the products. From a personal experience, I am not really
concerned how the packaging actually looks as long as the item that I am purchasing is what I need. In
addition, it is worth pointing out that the packaging will be a waste of money and investment no matter
how good or how thick it is if the quality of the product does not meet the requirement of the
consumers.
Taking these points into consideration, from a personal perspective, I am inclined to believe that
manufacturers are more responsible to avoid over-packaging the goods as it would be wasting the
consumers money for no practical benefits.
Many people think that regions affect successful person. What is your opinion about native region and
accomplished persons influence on the region he belongs to
Whether one's success is very much dependent on his or her native regions is a debatable topic. This
essay will express complete disagreement with this statement and will offer reasons for this viewpoint.
To begin with, a variety of reasons can be offered to explain why I am not in favour of this. Foremost
among these, I believe that achieving success in life depends on many factors such as determination,
discipline, clear visions of your goals and ambitions, motivation and most importantly hard work.
Moreover, support from friends and family around you would also play an important part in your
journey to success. Although there is no doubt that being in a good and cohesive environment is
beneficial, a person who is disciplined and determined to achieve his goals will find ways to his success
no matter where they are.
Firstly to accomplish anything in life required immense hard work and commitment. Success means
earning respectable position, monetary gains and secured future.
Industrious as a key has a lion's share in achieving success and remarkable position in the society.
Moreover, people those who have marked themselves as examples for others have burnt the midnight
oil for reaching at desired positions. To illustrate, people like, Bill Gates, Ratan Tata, APJ Abdul
Kalam and list goes other eminent personalities are the perfect cases of successful leaders in their
respective fields.
To wrap up, the connection between people belong to native regions and accomplished forks have a
very small or trivial effect in overall success stories of any person. Basic fundamentals will remain
static and identical to earn respectable position in this universe.
Companys top level authorities should get their employees in decision making process. Discuss
Decision making is a crucial step in the success of a company. The moot question is that whether
involvement of employees is required for the decision making process.
The solid foundation of any successful company is its people. Employees represent a source of
knowledge and ideas, but oftentimes that resource remains untapped. Involving employees in the
decision-making process not only empowers them to contribute to the success of an organization, but
also saves the company time and money. It also increases productivity and reduces outsourcing.
Improving Morale-Actively engaging workers in the decision-making process increases overall
company morale. Employees understand that their ideas are an important contribution to the company,
and give them the power to influence the innovative outcome of their work, leading to increased job
satisfaction and a positive attitude.
Internal Resources-Using employees in the decision-making process, rather than outsourcing, saves
money, time, and offers the company long-term reliable assistance from those who know the
corporation well.
Teamwork-Participation in the decision-making process gives each employee the opportunity to voice
their opinions, and to share their knowledge with others. While
this improves the relationship between manager and employee, it also encourages a strong sense of
teamwork among workers.
Innovations and ideas is something which has brought us to this technologically developed world.
Perhaps, it has been accepted by all by now. Organization can only flourish well where its employees
are given the freedom to innovate and rewarded for the same. Top level management should be smart
enough to judge its plausibility of implementation, as the final decision has to be taken by them.
Some people think law changes our behaviour. Discuss.
Everyone knows that laws are the rules laid by the government on the citizens of their respective
country. It helps in smooth functioning of the nation by governing the behaviour of people. It is
disagreed that laws can change behaviour of a person. It can only assist in creating a disciplined
environment for the society and controlling the crime to some extend but not eliminating it.
Firstly, imposing laws has created a sense of fear among people of getting punished. For instance,
damaging the historical monuments, books, paintings, sculptures or other form of art is considered a
crime and is punishable under vandalism law. This example shows that a person with moral
responsibility will take care of others assets but a person who is not worried about the consequences
will deface them. Thus, we can say that humans action can be regulated by laws but cannot be
changed completely.
In addition, in our day to day life, we follow rules without even realizing them. Traffic law is an
example of this. Today, most of us follow the traffic signals out of habit. We stop at a red light, start an
indicator before a turn and wear seat belt when we are on road. Thus, we can say that laws embed
some changes in human behaviour to some extent. However, we are still facing road-accidents which
clearly show that rules and regulations have controlled the behaviour of mankind without altering
them completely.
In conclusion, we can say that rules and regulations can help in controlling the behaviour that is
dangerous. Laws not only help in checking the reckless nature of people but are necessary for the
development of society.
Pros and Cons of extreme/adventure sports. Or Dangerous activities like extreme skiing, bungee
jumping etc. and whether u support them or not. The popularity of extreme sports has continued to
grow over the last decade. These activities are undertaken at high speed, high altitude, and high degree
of physical exertion. It is agreed that no amount of words are adequate to convey the thrill of skiing,
deep sea diving, bungee jumping, water rafting or any other adventure sport. This argument can be
proven by looking at how these kinds of sports teach self- reliance, teamwork and let everyone leave
their comfort zone.
Firstly, the risk-taking sports help in development of self-confidence and independence. For instance,
by successfully facing up the challenge of adventurous sports like rock-climbing, young people
overcome their fears and apprehensions along the way and develop a feeling of unusual
accomplishment. This makes it clear that climbing mountain, instead of an indoor game, helps in
developing the balance, using more muscle groups, and taking on a journey in an uncontrolled
environment that stimulates brain with countless variables. Thus, achieving your goals in an
unpredictable weather, recognizing the thrill of beating storm and making it back home safely result in
enhancement of overall personality of an adventurous person.
Moreover, many people are reluctant to try new things like mountain biking, scuba diving, white river
rafting, Para-gliding etc., thinking that they do not possess the skills or have an ability to enjoy it.
Encouraging people to try new activities results in building up team spirit, promoting positive attitude
and making them come out of their comfort zone. Thus, we can say that by trying out dangerous
sports, one can get rid-off the negative feeling and develop a feeling of working as a team.
Looking at the above, we can say that adventure sports have many impressive benefits including
problem solving, improved communication skills, self-confidence and team work. However, it is
recommended that these sports should be tried under proper guidance and supervision of a guard
Against While every sport has a danger, extreme sports athletes are at a high risk of serious injuries. For
example, back-country snowboarders are known for riding on an unpredictable terrain where
avalanches are common. Since these off-piste riders do not ride on a groomed slope, hazards such as
large boulders and fallen trees can be easily hidden under large deposits of newly fallen snow. As can be
seen from this example, even a smallest misstep can plummet big wave surfers more than 30 feet below
the breaking ocean waves. Thus, we can say that adventurous people are prepared to gamble their safety
in search of adrenaline rush.
In education system, assessment through formal written examination still valid?
Without a doubt formal written examination is used widely as assessment criteria in most of the
educational institutes for decades. The moot question as to whether the formal written assessment is
still?
Evaluation method of a students performance has always been an area of contention around the world.
Many believe that this can be done by continual assessment of their assignments and project work. On
the other hand, people are also in favour of formal examination. I believe the latter is more appropriate
option. This can be proved by analysing the fact that the homework and projects done at home can be
copied and also memory of a student can be tested only through a formal assessment.
Firstly, the work book assignments submitted by the students are not always done by them. A study by
education department of India proved that many parents help their children in completion of
assignments. Not only this, the projects are also copied in order to submit the same on time. Thus, we
can say that it is not a reliable method to judge student capabilities.
Secondly, the examination that is taken in education institutes make students learn the concept and also
memorize the same that they have studied in their class.
Moreover, these are conducted in the presence of invigilator. That restricts students to take any external
help. This shows how much grasping power does an individual have. Therefore, this can be considered
as a more reliable method of testing ones ability.
To conclude, looking at the discussion it is clear that advantages of formal testing outweighs the
advantages of testing by assignments and projects. I believe the method should be implied across the
globe and it can be predicted that many countries will adopt this way of assessment because of its
effectiveness.
Large shopping malls are replacing small shops. Your opinion? Good or bad
GOOD
This is a true fact to consider that present world has become a global village. Therefore, people are
motivated to buy their necessities from competitive market. As a result, a great number of shopping
malls has established in past two decades in almost all cities of the world. The question whether this
boom of mall's trend is positive or negative is a complex issue, upon which opinion varies greatly.
There are reasons for people to believe that large shopping malls are important to be established as
multi stories shopping malls come with a large number of stores and other facilities under one roof.
First and foremost time saving from shopping from such multi-complex buildings could be significant
factor. It may be defined as majority of them prefer to go to the shopping malls rather than the single
stores because varieties of options are available in one complex. For example, clothes, groceries,
banks, pharmacies, cinemas, food courts, and restaurants etc. are all available under a single roof and
people get better environment from such establishment.
There are some groups who are in favour of single shops and opine that this trend should be continued.
They have their reasons as well. In spite of views discussed above regarding why large shopping malls
are ideal to the modern society. Parking problems could be substantial reason behind the opponent's
viewpoint. There including excursive crowding in the shopping complex, especially on weekends and
holidays. As a result shoppers have to spend a long time in the parking bays rather than the shopping in
small shops. The prices in large shopping malls are often unreasonable and people end up purchasing
more than they actually need. The large shopping malls are not often convenient for lower and middle
class population. In last, undoubtedly, whether shopping in a large shopping complex or single small
shops could be matter of discussion; however, as far as I am concerned, big shopping malls have
immense benefits to the modern society that outweigh the options and conveniences offered by the small
shops.
BAD
In the fast-paced of life, urban citizens like to buy daily items in big supermarket chains rather than
shopping in small stores and local markets. It is argued that chief among causes this, are convenience
and hygienic environments. Yet there remains some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of
shopping at the chains has been positive or negative. I personally believe that the drawbacks of this
tendency far outweigh its benefits. This argument will be analysed how buying products in the
supermarkets can lead to lose local identity and the price will be controlled by chains
First of all, it is an undeniable fact that the huge supermarket chains are seriously eroding the features
of the local district. For instance, in Hong Kong, a lot of small unique retail stores were closed down
due to big multiple shops that can afford to pay high rent. Therefore, all the shops will become
homogenous and lose the local characteristics. Admittedly, although I certainly agree that this kind of
market is convenient, it has severely violated the regional identity.
Secondly and even more importantly, the supermarkets will monopolize the market and control the
price due to less and weak competitors. To illustrate, they can set up exorbitant price of their products
because customers only can buy it from them.
Thus it creates an unbalanced market and also deprives consumers right to search for more affordable
alternatives. It is obvious from this that this development has indeed been bad.
Following this look at how losing the local identity and dominate prices by the supermarket, it is
proven that shopping in the large markets is an unfavourable development. Also, I believe that it
seems highly advisable for residents to consume in local markets.
Nowadays, people spend too much time at work to the extent that they hardly have time for their
personal life. Discuss. WORK LIFE BALANCE
Long working hours are the norm these days and that is hardly surprising. In this competitive job
scenario people are forced to work harder and harder. When people spend more hours working, they
get less time for themselves. This is not necessarily a positive development because it can lead to
health problems as well as the disruption of families and personal relationships.
For one thing, there is absolutely nothing to prove that long working hours improve productivity. In
fact, when people work longer than they should, what happens is that their productivity decreases.
They fail to concentrate and take longer to finish jobs. Traveling far for work doesnt help either. In
many major cities people often have to travel several hours to reach their work place. When at last,
they reach home braving the traffic and a hard-working day, they have little energy left in them. In
addition, studies have proved that people who spend long hours in the office are also more likely to
develop major health problems like heart disease and dementia.
We have already seen that long working hours doesnt necessarily translate into improved productivity.
Another problem with this set up is the effect it has on a persons family and social life. When people
spend long hours in the office, they get little time to spend with their dear ones. Parents, who work
long hours, often fail to take proper care of their young children. This can be quite a problem in
families where both parents work. When children are deprived of the attention they deserve, it will
affect their emotional well-being. It can also have a negative impact on their academic performance. In
extreme cases, failure to strike a balance between work and life can lead to the breakup of families.
As explained above, long working hours are in nobodys interest. They dont improve an individuals
productivity. In fact, they make them less productive. Whats more, when people spend more time in
the office, their family life suffers. In other words proper work-life balance is absolutely essential to
lead a contented life. It is hoped that companies arrange their working hours in such a way that
employees also get some time for themselves
It is usually foolish to get married before completing your studies and getting established in a good job?
Do you agree or disagree".
Getting married before finishing studies and getting employed can be arduous at times. Although some
people may believe in getting married prior to settle their career, I would still advocate that getting
married later is much better as one can focus on his career.
There are numerous disadvantages to getting married while still a student. It can create a greater
problem when you are dependent on parents to support you. There is the probability of more tension
on the part of both sets of parents. Expecting your parents to continue paying your tuition as though
you were still a child once you have chosen to take on the very adult responsibility of marriage can
also create tension.
Another reason to wait is the time constraint on enrolled newlyweds. Balancing time at home,
adjusting to a new life and spending time on academics is a daunting task, regardless of how organized
you are. Married college students are often left with not enough time to do housework, study or have
couple time. Little time is left for each other so theres less time to work on personal growth and the
marriage. The college marriage often results in restriction of college experiences, participation in
college functions and of relationships of college friends.
Not only that, but she also finds that marriage affects academics. There is often a drop in grades due
to added responsibilities or having to take on a full time job. The distractions that marriage brings are
endless and normal, but if yours current schedule and goals make marriage too much to handle on top
of your college life, then the smartest decision may be taking care of your college career before saying
your vows.
Sometimes the engaged couple isnt actually ready to decide what they want out of marriage yet.
College is a time of growth and maturing. Getting married too soon can cut growth and maturation
short. Most students need some time to be self- supporting, living on your own and making decisions
as you mature. An early marriage can prevent students from ever getting that time to mature.
Talk about pros/cons of this era as it is full of daily inventions
In today's world, where just about everything is more convenient and accessible due to advances in
technology across almost all sectors, it may seem as though it's a misnomer to even mention any
disadvantages of technological advances. However, despite how far technology has taken humans and
no matter how convenient it may make things, there are some disadvantages accompanying this level
of access.
Technology advances show people a more efficient way to do things, and these processes get results.
For example, education has been greatly advanced by the technological advances of computers.
Students are able to learn on a global scale without ever leaving their classrooms. Agricultural
processes that once required dozens upon dozens of human workers can now be automated, thanks to
advances in technology, which means cost-efficiency for farmers. Medical discoveries occur at a much
more rapid rate, thanks to machines and computers that aid in the research process and allow for more
intense educational research into medical matters. This results in cost savings for business owners,
allowing them to invest in growth in other areas of the business, which contributes on a positive level
to the economy as a whole. The more advanced society becomes technologically, the more people
begin to depend on computers and other forms of technology for everyday existence. This means that
when a machine breaks or a COMPUTER CRASHES , humans become almost disabled until the
problem is resolved. This kind of dependency on technology puts people at a distinct disadvantage,
because they become less self- reliant.
At the same time, human workers retain less value, which is a disadvantage of technological advances.
Because machines automate processes and do the work of 10 people with one computer, companies
find they don't need to employ as many people to get the job done. As machines and computers
become even more advanced and efficient, this will continue to be a growing disadvantage of
technology and an issue that has a global impact.
Imitating celebrities in sports and movies good or bad?
Hero worship is in our blood. In this day and age, media and sports personalities are the heroes. They
are everywhere on the billboards, in the newspapers, on TV and internet. This omnipresence has
earned them widespread fame and millions of fans who try to imitate everything that they do. Is this a
positive development? Lets examine.
Imitating film and sports personalities is nothing unusual but unfortunately it isnt always good. A
large number of our celebrities dont set good examples. Many of them are known for their
extravagant and wasteful lifestyles. They dont mind spending millions of dollars on shopping. They
wear expensive designer garments and drive super luxury cars. They earn millions of dollars every
year so it doesnt really matter to them. Unfortunately, they inspire middle class people, who can
hardly afford this, to adopt the same life style. Wafer thin models promote unhealthy eating habits.
Anorexia has become a major health issue these days.
Models and film stars who look nearly perfect because of Photoshop effects have given rise to a
generation obsessed with looking perfect. Even extramarital relationships are now considered perfectly
acceptable because several celebrities have multiple partners.
Celebrities are human beings too and they have their own weaknesses. Just because they happen to
excel in a particular field, we cant expect them to be paragons of virtue. They are influential people
and it would be great if they can be good role models, but the truth is that that is where most of them
fail.
On the other hand, we do have something to learn from these famous people. They are achievers.
Many of them had humble beginnings. Still, they rose to fame because of their determination and
hard work. We can also achieve the same if we make a sincere attempt.
After analysing the situation, it is not hard to see that admiring and imitating film and sports
personalities who do not set a good example is bad. Simply admiring them is alright. The problem
begins when you try to imitate everything that they do.
Any recent invention that you think proved beneficial or detrimental to society
OR
In the past 100 years, there have been many inventions such as antibiotics, airplanes and computers.
What do you think is the most important of them? Why? Greatest invention in the last 100 years,
medicine, science or technology?
It is evident how life has changed since technology has been introduced in the human life. When we
think about technology mostly the first thing that comes to our mind is the image of a computer.
Technological advancements such as computers have been designed and created with the only purpose
to help humans and make their lives easier. Computers have become indispensable in any workplace
where they are basically considered a compliment for people to help them on developing their
activities. In fact, computers are the greatest invention of all time because they have multi-tasking
features that can minimize your work, they can display and let you manipulate stored information, and
they are used in almost all fields for any purpose.
First of all computers have multi-tasking features that can minimize the work you have to do. For
example, computers avoid you having to calculate any result on doing math, the only thing you must
do is to type the information needed and your work is done. Secondly, computers can display and let
you manipulate stored information. In other words, you dont need to use paper in order to store any
information on shelves. You dont even have to rewrite a whole paper because you did a mistake or
you have to add more information to the written form. You can have as many files as you can in your
computer and organize them the way you like it without having to use any extra material or space.
Finally, computers are used in almost all fields for any purpose such as entertainment, education, and
any type of job. For example, you can use computers to play videogames, watch movies, listen to
music or chat on the internet for entertainment. In education or any job you can use them for
videoconferences, PowerPoint presentations or just using their basic features discussed in the first
point. Therefore computers are the greatest invention of all time because they reduce your time
consumption on your activities, you can save your information and edit it anytime, and they let you do
almost everything you need. Computers have become the most powerful tool ever created.
Information revolution has changed the way of mass communications and had some negative and positive
effects on individual lives as well as on society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
OR
Communication has changed significantly in the last 10 yers.
Disucss pros and cons impacts.
Information Technology has not only brought the world closer together. Therefore, we can not only
share information quickly and efficiently, but we can also bring down barriers of linguistic and
geographic boundaries. The world has developed into a global village due to the help of information
technology allowing to shares ideas and information with each other. Communication has also become
cheaper, quicker, and more efficient. We can now communicate with anyone around the globe by
simply text messaging them or sending them an email for an almost instantaneous response. The
internet has also opened up face to face direct communication from different parts of the world thanks
to the helps of video conferencing.
Bridging the cultural gap - Information technology has helped to bridge the cultural gap by helping
people from different cultures to communicate with one another, and allow for the exchange of views
and ideas, thus increasing awareness and reducing prejudice.
However, while information technology may have streamlined the business process it has also crated
job redundancies, downsizing and outsourcing. This means that a lot of lower and middle level jobs
have been done away with causing more people to become unemployed.
Privacy - Though information technology may have made communication quicker, easier and more
convenient, it has also bought along privacy issues. Due to website and email hacking, people are now
worried about their once private information becoming public knowledge.
Lack of job security - Industry experts believe that the internet has made job security a big issue as
since technology keeps on changing with each day. This means that one has to be in a constant
learning mode, if he or she wishes for their job to be secure.
Dominant culture - While information technology may have made the world a global village, it has
also contributed to one culture dominating another weaker one. For example it is now argued that US
influences how most young teenagers all over the world now act, dress and behave. Languages too
have become overshadowed, with English becoming the primary mode of communication for business
and everything else.
Learning a new language at an early age is helpful for children. Is it more positive for their future aspect
or have some adverse effects. Agree or disagree?
There are several benefits of learning new language in the early age for children. It promotes better
understanding of psychology and diversity and good for their brain development.
Learning a second language does not cause language confusion, language delay or cognitive deficit,
which have been concerns in the past. In fact, according to the recent study in US children who learn a
second language can maintain attention despite outside stimuli better than children who know only
one language. Children will develop selective and conscious cognitive processes to achieve goals in
the face of distraction and plays a key role in academic readiness and success in school settings.
In other words, cognitive advantages follow from becoming bilingual. These cognitive advantages
can contribute to a child's future academic
success. Bilingualism delays Alzheimers disease by as much as five. Being bilingual can lead to
improved listening skills, since the brain has to work harder to distinguish different types of sounds in
two or more languages. Babies brought up in a bilingual environment have stronger working
memories than those brought up with only one language. This means they are better at mental
calculation, reading and many other vital skills. Better multi-tasking-Bilingual people can switch from
one task to another more quickly. They show more cognitive flexibility and find it easier to adapt to
unexpected circumstances. Learning a new language can literally change the way you see the world.
Learning Japanese, for example, which has basic terms for light and dark blue, may help you perceive
the colour in different ways

In under developed countries, tourism has disadvantages and can be said the opposite as well. In recent
decades, low cost airfare has made international travel easier and many countries have, therefore,
developed their tourism industries into key sectors of their economies. While it is clear tourism brings
obvious benefits to the countries that host tourists, it is also true to say it may bring disadvantages as
well.
Undoubtedly, there are significant benefits that tourism brings to a country. First, a thriving tourist
industry implies an increasing need for a variety of services such as hotels, transport, restaurants, and
entertainment. This result in a considerable number of jobs being created for people who lack a
college education and also the development of the infrastructure needed to accommodate visitors.
Moreover, tourism is a "green" industry that, unlike factories, generates a low level of pollution. In
fact, because beautiful natural landscapes are often places that tourists come to see, a country will
often be sure to maintain the landscape in order to keep it attractive for tourists.
Despite the benefits, there are aspects of tourism that may prove harmful to a country. For instance, a
country may suffer from the loss of their traditional culture. This is caused by people in a country
changing their lifestyle, customs, and language in order to more effectively serve visitors or because
they become influenced by foreign countries. This can cause stress in a traditional society and could
even lead to animosity towards tourists. In addition, because tourists often carry expensive objects
like cameras and are unaware of their surroundings, they make good targets for theft. Crime also
increases as a result of the increases in drugs and prostitution that caters to some vacationers.
In summary, global tourism is greatly beneficial to an economy and environment of a country.
However, it can be detrimental in several ways. To my way of thinking, a country should seek to
develop its tourism industry because it can bring steady jobs to many people without their need for
higher education and without the risk of environmental damages.
The only thing that interfere with my leaning is my education- Einstein. What does he mean by that? And
do you think he is correct?
Education is an effort of the senior people to transfer their knowledge to the younger members of
society. In traditional education system, the educational system was too small and the content of
education was related to religion, philosophy, metaphysics and scriptural subjects. This is the reason
why Einstein considered education to be the biggest barrier in his learning. This essay will analyse
both sides of the argument.
According to Einstein, students learn through a formally designed education pattern restricting their
thought process. Also, there are some rigid rules like age of admission, content and duration of course,
procedures of examination, selection of elective subject, etc. which are designed by government or
designated agency such as school. The students are taught and given the answers to the questions and
these questions come in the examination to test their retention power. Thus, students are not
encouraged to think out of the box and search for solution themselves. They all are expected to provide
the same answer which is in books.
This example shows why Einstein believed that formal education hinders the process of learning.
However, in my opinion, education in schools is important for children as it provides disciplined
environment, proper guidance from teacher, extracurricular activities to develop basic skills like
reading and writing. In addition, modern day education is aided with a variety of technology,
computers, projectors, internet, and many more. There is much to learn and more to assimilate. For
instance, internet provides vast knowledge and students should be allowed to search the answers to
their problems themselves. This will help them in coming up with different solutions and succeeding in
life. Thus, we can say that education plays a vital role in the initial learning phase.
Looking at both sides of the argument, we conclude that the current education system is the
building block of learning through proper teachers guidance and using new technology such as
internet.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn,
unlearn, and relearn. Agree or Disagree?
'The illiterate of the twenty-first century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who
cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.' - Alvin Toffler
In present situation of the world we should not stop learning things. For example, a freelance web
developer cant possibly land a high-paying contract if he cant write a good proposal letter. A
successful developer should not only proficient in designing schematics and code, but also he should
know how to market himself through writing and by promoting on the internet.
If a person believe that jack of all trades and master of none then it is totally wrong in current
society. The truth is that jacks of all trades are valued more highly right now than people with a very
specialized skill set. Additionally it is foolish to think that it is impossible to become master in many
trades which is a is just an excuse to be lazy.
Some people fear in experimenting because theres always the risk of failing. They would rather sit
comfortably with their proven methods than venture further into the unknown, but it will not work
well in the current speed of technology advances. The death of learning comes when a person starts to
believe that everything has already been learned. This conceitedness closes the mind to learning new
things. Its like believing that the bottle is already full, and therefore must be capped shut, when its
still halfway filled.
Do you believe yourself to be the master of your own trade, that focusing on just one skill is for the
best since its been working flawlessly for several years now? And that learning another skill is just a
distraction, or perhaps you dont have time for it? If your answer is yes to at least one of those
questions, then yes, you are an illiterate of the 21st century. If your answer is no then you are not an
illiterate of the 21st century. Nowadays learning newer skills is a win-win situation in highly
competitive job and commerce market.
Value added by travel in Education. Is travel a necessary component of education or not ? Will scholar
sitting at home have more knowledge?
OR
Travel to study is over rated, we have brilliant scholars who studied locally. Is travel really required for
higher studies?
The development of society is going towards a globalised world where education is an essential
foundation for personal, social and economic success. International studies are becoming a new trend
for young people as a way to expand their education beyond their traditional education style. It is
agreed that adding a foreign qualification has become an integral part of higher studies. This argument
is proven by looking at how it widens peoples perspective and helps them with better career
opportunities.
Studying abroad helps people increase their awareness about different cultures of the
world. This will contribute in creating individuals with a broader understanding of issues concerning
todays society rather than limiting them in a scope of home education system. For example,
universities have a large community of students both from the local area and all around the globe. The
diverse academic community enhances the quality of learning by providing wider spectrum of
opinions and expertise. This example clearly shows that international education enhances outlook and
sharpens self-awareness. Therefore, we can say that traveling is an important element of education.
Moreover, acquiring a globally recognized qualification or degree opens the doors for
international job market. The students gain more knowledge and expertise when abroad and apply
them to situations requiring international interactions. Also, employers look for the graduates with
international experience either by studying or working abroad. Thus, we can say that international
studies add value to a students education.
In summary, it can be said that travelling to foreign countries for higher studies is a key to
succeed in this globalised planet.
"Marketing strategy for big companies should be placed on offer and discounts, and in what
ways this can impact on their reputation Have you noticed how our shopping culture has
changed in the last decade? Everyone, and I mean everyone, seems to be slashing their prices.
Why Offer a Discount? Answer is to increase the customer base of the organizations they offer
discounts. Take Groupon for example, someone might get a deal for his or her local restaurant, and he
thinks that "Hey I never been to this restaurant lets try today". Bam! The restaurant got a new customer
through their door. There are even multi-million dollar businesses that have built their organizations
around the concept of discounting.
Eventually, discounting can actually hurt organization business in the long run. If a company is giving
discounts it shows that they have lack of confidence on their product, people expect same price every
time it is a bad precedent, and they are making their product lower perceived value, customer think
that the product is not trustworthiness which will lead to the cut down in the company profit.
What should organizations do instead of giving discounting? They should focus on value of the product,
know the target audience, and show confidence in their products. It will prove that what they are selling
works. The perfect example for this kind of organization is the Apple Company. I have not seen Apple
giving discounts in general way.
The space travel is fantastic these day and they are very fascinate towards its but there are many
environmental problems in our planet we should resolve the problems or travel space and spend a
lot of money Nowadays, there are many countries spend a large mountain of money in the outer space
traveling. Recently, there are some people think governments should spend as much money as possible
exploring outer space, whoever, some people think governments should spend those money on our basic
needs on earth. I strongly agree with this opinion because our planet needs more attention to its
environment problems, and many people still starving to death in many parts in our world.
First of all, our planet needs more researches to solve the environment problems. For example, the air
pollution increasing day after day on the earth this is causing the whole in the ozone layer. This
pollution decays from the badly consumption of the human being. I think this problem deserve more care
and attention from the governments instead of spend money in outer space traveling they should offer
a constant budget to fund such these researches because the outcomes of them will benefit all the
human kind and helping to prevent problems in the future.
Secondly, governments should spend much money to support and help the people who starving to death
in many areas in our plants. We can see and read in many media resources about the hunger in different
areas. The question now is; how could the governments help those people? I think the answer is very
simple, by spending more money in supporting the hunger people with food, and helping them to find
their food resources. It interested to travel exploring outr space, but just in case we can find a solution
to our planets problems especially the hunger issue.
Because, it does not make any sense spending billions of money in such these trips and try to find
another places in the universe, and the people in the earth cant find the enough food to live in.

Finally, I think governments should spend a large mount of money in environment researches and apply
the results of them to make benefits to the human kind. Also, the governments should spend more
money in helping the hunger people in different places in the world. In case we can find a solution to
our planet's problem we can think about discovering the outer places and arrange the traveling to their.
In a war of ideas, it is people who get killed. Does a common man suffer from a groups ideology?
Express your opinion, and support the same with reasons and examples
Throughout history, the thinking of a group of people is impacting the lives of thousands of civilians.
Whether it is considered on a political or social level, a set of decisions of a group explains how a society
should work. It is completely agreed that in the conflict of interest between different countries or
different groups within same country, it is the innocent people who sacrifice their lives. It can be seen
from the incidents of World War II and September 11 attacks in United States of America. First of all,
during World War II, a group of countries namely US, UK and China united and attacked Japan with
explosive atomic bombs destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing more than one lakh
civilians. This is a clear example of the decision laid by a few countries against Japan to surrender to its
Allies. Though, these countries achieved victory in their mission but Japanese people are still suffering
from the radioactive radiation effect which resulted in blindness and mental disorders. Thus, we can
say that political ideologies of a group can drastically harm society.
In addition, September 11 attacks on US by a group of 19 militants, associated with Islamic extremist
group, hijacked four airplanes and killed around 3,000 people by colliding airplanes into symbolic US
landmark. This example clearly shows how the decision and planning of these terrorist activists took
lives of thousands of innocent people. Looking at the above examples, we can say that it is common
man who is suffering from the social, economic and political interests of a few people. It is hoped that
in future, the major decisions concerning every citizen or the civilians of another country, would be
taken considering its consequences.
Nowadays TV has become an essential part of life. Medium to spread news
& awareness and for some it acts like a companion. What is your opinion about this?
The invention of Television around two decades back opened wide frontiers for transmission of visual
communication and awareness. Since then the research and development on this has never paused, and
today we have 3D and curved televisions available as well. In fact, it will be hard to find any domestic
family without watching TV as a part of their daily life. It has helped in making the world a smaller
place to live in by making all sorts of shows, latest news update and information in all areas via a wide
range of channels.
Television provides a wide range to channels to choose from on tourism, travel, foods, lifestyle, news,
general knowledge, movies, music, reality show and many more. In fact, the information is so useful
that many people plan their holiday based on a show on tourism, they try to cook new items by
following the recipe shown, become aware of all sorts of happenings in the world and least to mention
the craze about sports event. For many, TV is almost indispensible as they believe it to be a friend
which is always there when needed.
Television is a great time waster. We no longer have enough time for hobbies, other outside
amusements like theatres, movies, sports got ignored. People have grown addicted to television, often
neglecting the necessary and more important things like meals, sleep, and even work. The more the
viewer watches television, the lazier they become. The TV glues them to the set instead of allowing
them to go out.
Television prevents people from communicating with each other which had caused the harm to the
relationship between family members. Families sit and watch television at dinner instead of talking
with each other.
Finally, it is our duty to limit anything in too excess. The benefits which TV has brought into our daily
lives cannot be denied.
Parents should be held legally responsible for their childrens acts. What is your opinion? Support it with
personal examples....
Lately there seems to be a great number of young adults making the news for causing harm to others.
Unthinkable acts are being initiated by kids such as setting fellow students on fire, sexually assaulting
an intoxicated and unconscious student, attacking and beating homeless people, and excessive group
bullying leading to suicide.
I think we can all agree that this type of wrongful conduct is inexcusable. The question being asked is
whether or not the parents of these young adults can be held liable for the negligent and intentional acts
of their children. In my opinion, yes parents should be held legally for the act of their children. For
example if the young adults causes any damages to the people property because of reckless driving and
injuring others parents should held financially liable. It is fine if it is damage to property, what if the act of
child causes physical damage to person or loss of life?. It is parents responsibility to take care about
their children. They should keep watching his/her acts and tell them what is wrong and what is right. If
they are neglected this and do not look after the children then they should be definitely held legally
for their negligence.
In my capacity as a father to two children, I feel the bottom line is that parents must take a keen interest
in the upbringing of their children. Teaching our children the difference between right and wrong is our
responsibility and should not be delegated to some else. When it comes to raising children, we all need
to walk our talk and teach by example.
You are given climate as the field of study. Which area will you prefer? Explain why you picked up the
particular area for your study?
All over the world today, it can be observed that the issue of climate change has grown in importance
over the past few decades. Therefore, if I were given climate as my field of study, I would like to study
the underlying causes of this devastating global phenomenon and possible solutions to tackle this.
To begin with, a variety of reasons can be offered to explain why I would choose this particular area of
study. Foremost among these is the fact that we have been experiencing the hottest 15 years on record in
the last two decades. Linked to this is the fact that millions are at risk of drought, chronic water
shortages, bushfire, coastal flooding and hazardous air pollution. As the above-mentioned points make it
clear, it can hardly be denied that the issues of climate change must be addressed with a sense of
urgency.
But what really is the proper role for individuals and institutions in addressing climate change? An
immediate and natural response may be that everyone should do their part. As individuals, we can help
by taking action to reduce our personal carbon emissions. But to fully address the threat of global
warming, we must demand action from our elected leaders to support and implement a comprehensive
set of climate solutions such as transforming our energy system to a cleaner one, placing limits on the
amount of carbon that polluters are allowed to emit, reducing tropical deforestation and its associated
global warming emissions.
In conclusion, It is my considered opinion that if we were to put in place some of the solutions
mentioned, we would at least be on our way to solving this problem.
Therefore, I would like to play my part to contribute to the solution of climate change.
Do you think English will remain to be a global language despite globalization?
There are so many benefits of learning English and they can be found in many sides such as in
international business community, technology field, education, and in the social life.
In international business environment, English holds an important role to make the business goes well.
English is very useful when company build cooperation with another international company from
different country. To become the winner of the hard competition in business world, businessman must
be able to understand and use English well. Besides that, a company prefers to hire an employee who
has a good skill in language, especially English. However, by understanding English will improve the
prospect for employment in business environment and help the businessman able to handle the
business problem efficiently
English takes a large part in the growth of technology. Almost every electronic devices use English
especially computing and internet. That is because most of scientists write in English although some of
them use English as their second language. English is not only use in the hardware but it is used in the
software also. Every command in the computer is in English and to operate it people should
understand English first. In the internet, there is a lot of information written in English such as e-mail,
blog, and social network. It shows that learning English gives many benefits to the advance of
technology.
In education, the international student should have capability to speak, read, and write in English. A
student can access any information in the books, internet, and magazine with the help of English.
Successful academic career depend on how deep the understanding of student in English because in
international standard education English is the primary language which used in learning process.
Besides that, if the students know English well, they also will be able to read and understand the great
work in literature that related with their study which written in English. In this case, English can be
assuming as the root of the international education.
As a social creature, people will continuously interact with the other in various social lives. In this case
English become unifier of the difference in language. People will be easier to express their idea about
something or exchange information in English to the other people from different country. English is the
tool for digging information deeper and deeper again to know what actually happen in the world. If
people have a good capability to speak in English, it will be widening their knowledge because they
will be able to understand more information than those who are not good in English
Some people think placing advertisements in schools is a great resource for public schools that need
additional funding, but others think it exploits children by treating them as a captive audience for
corporate sponsors.
Choose which position you most agree with and discuss why you chose that position. Support your point
of view with details from your own experiences, observations or reading.
Advertisements have been an inseparable part of any corporate businesses to attract potential
customers to expand their businesses. On the contrary, in my opinion placing advertisements inside
public schools in order to lure juvenile mind is certainly not a good idea to promote commercial
business.
To begin with, schools are the home for immature children where they come to learn academic as well
as moral lessons. These children can be tempted to do any activities easily therefore putting
advertisements inside schools may impact pejoratively on such students. For example, a child might
break his hands and legs by imitating and reproducing the action pose shown on the violent
blockbuster movie advertisements. Moreover, many advertisements nowadays displays sexually
motivated explicit materials and other adult themes which would captivate young mind to delineate
juvenile delinquency indulging into an anti-social behaviour such as raping, smoking, vandalism and
other heinous crimes. Further, these children might tempt to spend hefty sum of money to buy the
mendaciously advertised unfruitful products which not only hampers their academic activities but also
largely effects on their brain development and ethical behaviour.
On the contrary, advertisements are good source of funding for the public schools who always find
themselves hard to manage their financial cash flow. Corporate houses often pay a huge sum of money
when they place advertisements inside schools as young school children can easily be motivated to go
after their products. Besides, many advertisements targeted to kids such as Toothpaste, Shower gel and
Detol are espousing to bring awareness on children to wash their hands before eating foods and after
using toilets or brushing teeth early in the morning and before going to bed.
Therefore, to recapitulate, advertisements are efficient and effortless source of money for the public
schools however schools management must act prudently to monitor continuously students
behaviour and choose suitable advertisements to put inside schools so that children do not go astray.

communications through mobile, radio, internet are outcome of space exploration only by using satellites. It is irrefutable that
the planet earth , already teeming with humanity, will be overcrowded and the dearth of space on this planet is imminent.
Therefore, billions of dollars are being spent to search life-like signs on other planets of Galaxy. Already the efforts have
started paying off as scientists have found life sustaining elements , water and breathable air,on Mars. Some of the predictions
are even made to make leisure trips for people to other planets.
On the contrary, a group totally opposes such kind of spendings as they reckon that planet earth needs attention to make it
secure and worth-living. Firstly, some people are facing problems like malnourishment and have die due to insufficient food
and health care services. Moreover, significant chunk of population is deprived of education due to lack of funds to support.
Thus,
wasting money on making trips to other planets just to collect few pebbles from there makes no sense. The money spent on
such ventures has no direct outcome as it takes a number of decades to make any discovery, whereas, money spent on
education and health gives direct result of improved wellbeing.
After pondering over a great deal of thought of both sides, I opine that a right balance needs to be sought as both the aspects are
of paramount value and need attention and funding.
SAMPLE PTE STRATEGY
Speaking:-
1. Repeat Sentence: Try to do your level best on this. I think this part carry the maximum points. Need paramount concentration on
it. I closed my eyes and imagine the speaker & topics, this helped me.
2. Describe Image: Dont ever try to describe full content. Summary, Highest/minimum information, conclusion (if possible).
Must ignore any pause but dont speak fast and ensure your word is clear to understand. Try to use this words; Gradually,
Steep rise, increase, fluctuating, remain stable/steady, surge, the largest group of people, the least common answer, southeast
corner of the room/map/layout and so on.
3. Retell Lecture: Again content is not important but ensure you can speak 40 seconds. Ignore aah, hmm and other paused
sound as much as possible; just speak normal voice with fluency.
4. Question/Answer: Try to listen the question properly. Sometimes they give some image or graph and ask question from it. If not
sure the answer then repeat the question or mention both the option when try to choose one. I guess this section content less
marks. I know some person in this forum who did not answer 3~4 questions but secure 90 in speaking.
Last not the least, try to practice speaking in noisy environment such as put the BBC on in TV then practice your speaking. I
found that exam hall was noisy and everyone is shouting during speaking.
One more thing, grammar is not important in speaking (need comment from expert). Hence, main focus should be fluency and
punctuation.
Writing:-
I think, this part is the most easiest one at-least compare with IELTS who suffers 0 .5 mark there :-)
All the topics are repeated, so it is easy to get the idea before sitting for exam. However, must practice typing with those
known topics within given time frame.
Ensure proper grammar and vocabulary. I have to use some predetermine vocabulary lists in my exam.. Some of them are as
follows:-
Bolster, impeccable, indispensable, parochial attitude, fathom, laudable effort, crux, unbridled/bridled, formidable, inundate,
inevitably, jeopardize, emancipation, itinerary, overwhelming, tremendously and so one.
All these words are easy to fit any sentence and increase your vocabulary marks and use connecting words like furthermore,
moreover, hence, in addition, besides, nevertheless, nonetheless, although, even though , while, Indeed, in fact, finally, Lastly,
In conclusion etc..
Last not the least, ensure there will be no spelling mistakes. But again I am not the expert, this is my personal strategy.
Reading:-
This section is definitely hard compare with IELTS at least for me. My grammar understanding is very poor which was also
difficult to improve within a very short time specially the phrasal verb, collocation. At the same time, I got little assistance to
improve my marks in this section from others. Hence, I made some strategy with some personal observation.
1) I ensured that my 10/11 questions from fill in the blanks and read & writing questions should correct.
2) I Skipped the Multiple choose questions as it was killing my times. Furthermore, it also contain negative marking if answer
choose is wrong.
3) Utilize time in single multiple choose and reorder paragraph. However, my reorder paragraph was very tough compare with my
previous exam. Hence, I was nervous to clear the target score. Anyway, I survive..
Now, it was my strategies based on my weakness and strongest points. You can also prepare for yourself according to your
need if you are facing hurdle in this section.
Listening
In my opinion it is easy to get point in this section and dont need to make any special strategy for it . However, in my own
observation, Highlight Correct Summary, Highlight incorrect words, write from dictation secure more marks(may be I am
wrong as well) and ensure spelling marks in write from dictation section.
On the whole, I believe, concentration is very vital in PTE-A exam, be confident about yourself and dont lose hope or
disoriented until the exam is finished.
The structure of this exam is totally diffferent compare with IELTS. Therefore, if you decide to give PTE then try your level
best with preparation before fueling money. Nevertheless, may be you will not cross the branch mark (All module 65/79) in
your first attempt and you need to face the same obstacle again for another attempt like me.
Another Experience
Thanks to my GOD that I passed this exam. Ielts made me think that my Enlgish is not good enough and too much failure made
me somehow hopeless, but I needed and tried and with my first pte attempt I got +65. My best mark in IELTS was:
L8 R8.5 S7.5 W6.5
I took it in Brisbane, Navitas centre and the results released in less than 24 hours.
The price is similar to IELTS, but if you put PTE2015 (capital without space) in promotion code during the registration, it will
give you 10% off.
I read almost 160 page of this thread and my advices are not far from the others, just emphasizing them, so in order to get
good marks I encourage you to read them as much as you can.
SPEAKING:
read aloud: At first you might think it is an easy task, but if you try some sentences, youll see you cannot read it clearly,
fluently and without disturbing pauses. Pronunciation and fluency is really important, and you have read like a news reader on
TV. Watch your tone, intonation, rises and falls.
Practice as much as you can and youll be alright.
Describe image: Note that your response time is only 40 seconds, and the information shared on the screen is usually too
much, so there isnt enough time to tell them all and it is not wise to do so. Start with an introduction and speak fluently and
clearly in 30 -35 secs. It is ok if you cannot cover all the info, only focus on extreme figures. This is similar to IELTS academic
writing task 1.
Sentences like below are good:
The graph provides information about The map illustrates
the trend has a significant increase sharp fall
remained unchanged
Retell lecture:
focus on the lecture. No need to write down everything the lecturer says. Just take a note about the topic and important
categories and stuff. With only 40 seconds describe it fluently and clearly:
the lecture is about the lecturer stated that
Answer short question:
It is about your general knowledge, and you have to practice to become good. The only hard part is when the question is read
too quick.
My speaking part was the lowest because I didnt stick to upper rules completely!
WRITING
summarize:
its easy, get the whole idea and convert it into one sentence. Write essay:
Its like Ielts writing task 2. Spelling and grammar is important. Check word by word and proofread your work. Be aware of
time.
READING & LISTENING:
have various parts and since the exam is ACADEMIC, youll see many new words. The use of collocations is really important
and common. Watch your time and practice a lot. Do not stuck in one question and if you miss one do not panic and stay
focused.
Its really important to concentrate and focus the entire time. About sources:
definitely buy the gold kit to prepare yourself and become familiar with exam. They are harder than the real exam.
offline practice test
macmillan
practice test plus
and check the Google docs about the exam essay questions. They really help. Actually my essay question was among those
questions and I had practiced it.
The last thing about the exam is that, at the first part of each part it introduces the whole part, and then goes through the parts
without warning, so you have to be prepared and careful cause timer is counting down quickly.
I definitely suggest you to switch to PTE or TOEFL.
Practice as much as you can and youll see the results. Because with practicing you see that you are improving.

PTE SPEAKING GUIDELINES


For speaking take care of these:
1. Get to the test center early (if possible be the first person) and ask the administrator to give you a corner seat, so youll have
only one neighbor and hence is relatively more peaceful.
2. Sit upright and take a deep breath before you start, that will help. Speak clearly and loudly (dont shout though ). And dont
think you are disturbing other test takers by speaking loudly, that should be the last thing on your mind. One way to check
your decibel levels is to observe the decibel meter while taking the practice tests. Try to hit the high greens and low reds.
3. Mind the read aloud items, you can maximize your speaking score by reading word by word, pronouncing each one
clearly however if you dont take care of word stress and rising and falling intonation patterns your reading score will
suffer.
4. For describe image and re-tell lecture it is absolutely important to speak the full 40 secs. Its okay, for a couple of items, to not
finish your sentence completely before the recording stops, but you should always speak for the full allotted time. Fluency
over content, avoid aah and hmm, you can say let me see, let me refer my notes etc.
5. For describe image, have strategies for different types of images. What is your strategy for a bar graph, a line graph, a pie chart
and a table? Once you decide strategy for each type, use google images to practice that strategy.
6. Answer short questions is the easiest of the lot, just mind the pronunciation.
7. Repeat sentence was the most difficult for me. But with a right strategy
you can ace it. For example if you have to repeat The directors office has moved to the second floor of the administration
building, while listening to the audio you can quickly jot down the first letter of each word. In this case that would be T D O
H M T T S F O T A B. You may not be able to finish it by the time the audio clip ends but you can take an extra second to
complete it, remember you have 3 seconds before which you have start your response.
You need some practice to ace this strategy so dont try it directly in the exam. Practice it a lot and get comfortable with the
strategy before the test.

SUMMARIZE SENTENCES TIPS : 30 WORDS


1. Skim the entire passage to get an idea of its general content. You should be able to answer the question What is the
passage mainly about?
2. Scan the entire passage for key words and phrases. Words and phrases that are repeated throughout the passage are usually
important. Make a note of these.
3. If there are multiple paragraphs, the first paragraph will typically be an introduction to the topic, and will often include a brief
description of what will be discussed.
4. The last paragraph will typically close with a conclusion
5. Each paragraph will have its own topic sentence expressing the main idea. Typically, the topic sentence is the first sentence of
the paragraph (Rest of things are supporting arguments)
6. The task of summarizing a multi-paragraph passage is sometimes made easier by briefly summarizing each paragraph
first, and then combining these summaries into a single summary.Make a brief summary of each paragraph as you finish
reading it. You do not need full sentences at this point.
7. Keep your summary to a maximum of 30 words. The response box has an indicator that will tell you how many words you
have written. If you are getting close to your word limit, but still need to write more, edit your sentence to remove
unnecessary words, especially adjectives. These can often be omitted.
8. use punctuations like comman,colon,apastrophe, ETC. You have to use the full stop in the end of the sentence.
RE ORDER PARAGRAPH STRATEGY
Hello this is very difficult item amongst all in PTE A. You should practice a lot to get good scores. Moreover, this is the
highest weight-age marks compared all other items. Follow below cited examples , it may help you.
1. First understands/grasp the given paragraphs and what is for ? by using SKIM and SCAN processes.
2. Identify the topic /main sentence. Mainly consists of key words, person names, technical names, book names, research
names, .etc
3. Topic sentence is stand alone (SA). Independent sentence. it is not dependent on any other sentences given there.
4. Main /topic sentence does not starts with any contradict phrases like (however, but, although) and addition phrases like
(Also, moreover, furthermore, besides.. etc)
5. Follow the pronoun rule it does have terms like he , she, they , those and which is referred or depended by some other
sentence.
6. After identify the main paragraph, need to check the relationship of remaining paragraph.
another set of tips
TIPS FOR REORDER PARAGRPH
Parajumbles are jumbled paragraphs. Basically, you are given a paragraph but the sentences are not in the right order. Its
up to you to untie this knot and rearrange the sentences so that they logically make sense. Normally instructions for this type
of questions will read Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the given choices to construct a coherent
paragraph.
So go through these
1- TRANSITION WORDS
Transition words make the shift from one idea to another very smooth. They
organize and connect the sentences logically. Observing the transition words found in a sentence can often give you a clue
about the sentence that will come before/after that particular sentence.
Given below are some commonly used transition words:
also, again, as well as, besides, furthermore, in addition, likewise, moreover, similarly, consequently, hence, otherwise,
subsequently, therefore, thus, as a rule, generally, for instance, for example, for one thing, above all, aside from, barring,
besides, in other words, in short, instead, likewise, on one hand, on the other hand, rather, similarly, yet, but, however, still,
nevertheless, first of all, to begin with, at the same time, for now, for the time being, in time, later on, meanwhile, next, then,
soon, the meantime, later, while, earlier, simultaneously, afterward, in conclusion, with this in mind, after all, all in all to sum-
up.
EXAMPLE WITH TRANSITION WORDS
A. But in the industrial era destroying the enemys productive capacity means bombing the factories which are located in
the cities.
B. So in the agrarian era, if you need to destroy the enemys productive capacity, what you want to do is bum his fields, or if youre
really vicious, salt them.
C. Now in the information era, destroying the enemys productive capacity means destroying the information infrastructure.
D. How do you do battle with your enemy?
E. The idea is to destroy the enemys productive capacity, and depending upon the economic foundation, that productive
capacity is different in each case F. With regard to defense, the purpose of the military is to defend the nation and be
prepared to do battle with its enemy.
EXPLANATION FOR THE ANSWER transition word but in the first sentence. It signifies that the sentence is expressing
an idea contrary to an idea expressed in some previous sentence. Now we need to find that previous sentence. If we further
look at the beginning of the first sentence, it says but in the industrial era which suggests that the contrariness is with
respect to eras.
Looking further, we see that sentence B and C are also starting with statement about eras. But the transition word at the start of
C is now which expresses present era and hence it cannot chronologically come before any
other past era. That is, if information era is the present era, talk about any other era will come before this. So sentence B is the
correct sentence to come before the first sentence.
Likewise, sentence C is the correct sentence to come after the first sentence (sentence C is continuing the idea). Therefore, we
have the link BAC.
We see that option 1, 3 and 4 all have the link BAC. Furthermore, all the three options have the link EBAC. Therefore, we
only need to arrange D and
F. The sentence F states that The purpose isto battle with the enemy and D questions how do you battle with the enemy?
Therefore, D will come . FDEBAC is the correct arrangement.
2- PERSONAL PRONOUN
Personal pronouns are he, she, it, him, her, they, you, your etc. Remember that personal pronouns always refer to a person,
place or thing etc.
Therefore, if a sentence contains a personal pronoun without mentioning the person, place or object it is referring to, the
person, place or object must have come in the previous sentence .
EXAMPLE WITH PERSONAL PRONOUN .
A. Although there are large regional variations, it is not infrequent to find a large number of people sitting here and there and
doing nothing.
B. Once in office, they receive friends and relatives who feel free to call any time without prior appointment.
C. While working, one is struck by the slow and clumsy actions and reactions, indifferent attitudes, procedure rather than outcome
orientation, and the lack of consideration for others.
D. Even those who are employed often come late to the office and leave early unless they are forced to be punctual.
E. Work is not intrinsically valued in India.
F. Quite often people visit ailing friends and relatives or go out of their way to help them in their personal matters even during
office hours.Look at the personal pronoun they in sentence B: Once in office, they receive friends and relatives who feel free
to call any time without prior appointment. This they must be referring to some people. The reference to some people only
comes in sentences A, D, and F. Therefore, one of the sentences will come before sentence B. Lets see the link AB,DB, and
FB;
Link AB- Although there are large regional variations, it is not infrequent to find a large number of people sitting here and
there and doing nothing. Once
in office, they receive friends and relatives who feel free to call any time without prior appointment.
Link DB- Even those who are employed often come late to the office and leave early unless they are forced to be punctual.
Once in office, they receive friends and relatives who feel free to call any time without prior appointment. Link FB- Quite
often people visit ailing friends and relatives or go out of their way to help them in their personal matters even during office
hours. Once in office, they receive friends and relatives who feel free to call any time without prior appointment.
Which of these links makes sense? Only link DB seems coherent. Now, we examine the options with link DB. We see that
options 1 and 3 have link DB in them. Also, both the options have link ADBF. Therefore, ADBF is a link. Now we only need
to place sentences E and C. We can do that by reading the sentences in the order given in options 1 and 3.
THE FLOW OF AUTHORS IDEA SHOULD BE COMPLETELY LOGICAL; THE AUTHOR DOES NOT JUMP FROM ONE
IDEA TO OTHER SUDDENLY.
In link EC, sentence E is talking about work not being valued whereas sentence C is talking about people being clumsy,
indifferent, inconsiderate etc. Sentence C is NOT talking about value of work. It is talking about peoples behavior. Therefore,
EC cannot be a logical flow.
EADBFC IS THE CORRECT ANSWER 3- DEMONSTRATIVE
PRONOUN-
The demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these, and those. This and that are used to refer to singular nouns or
noun phrases and these and those are used to refer to plural nouns and noun phrases. Whenever a sentence contains a
demonstrative pronoun without mentioning the noun or the noun phrase, it means that the previous sentence must be
mentioning that noun or noun phrase. Finding that noun or noun phrase helps us connect two sentences.
EXAMPLE WITH DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUN
A. Michael Hofman, a poet and translator, accepts this sorry fact without approval or complaint.
B. But thanklessness and impossibility do not daunt him.
C. He acknowledges too in fact he returns to the point often that best translators of poetry always fail at some level.
D. Hofman feels passionately about his work, and this is clear from his writings.
E. In terms of the gap between worth and rewards, translators come somewhere near nurses and street-cleaners.
Again an easy one. Notice the demonstrative pronoun this in sentence A: Michael Hofman, a poet and translator, accepts this
sorry fact without approval or complaint. Also note that sentence A is introducing Michael Hofman (Michael Hofman, a poet
and translator,) and will thereby come before every sentence containing the personal pronoun he or him. So which sorry fact
is sentence A referring to? It can only be the fact found in sentence
E. Also, other sentences contain he or him.
Therefore, EA is a link. Link EA is contained in option 1, 3 and 4. But in 4, sentence D is coming before sentence A, and this
cannot happen because sentence A should be before any other sentence referring to Hofman as sentence A is introducing
Hofman. Therefore, we are left with options 1 and
3. The difference between options 1 and 3 is the order of sentence D and B.Link DB- Hofman feels passionately about his
work, and this is clear from his writings. But thanklessness and impossibility do not daunt him.
EACBD IS THE RIGHT ANSWER 4- ACRONYM
APPROACH
In PJ we encounter full and short names sometimes acronyms of some term or institution.
Ex-World Trade Organization WTO Dr. Manmohan Singh Dr.
Singh Karl Marx Marx
President George W. Bush President bush or the president EXAMPLE WITH THIS

The rule is that if both full form as well as short form is present in different sentences, then the sentence containing full form
will come before the sentence containing short form.
1. If you are used to having your stimulation come in from outside, your mind never develops its own habits of thinking and
reflecting
2. Marx thought that religion was the opiate, because it soothed peoples pain and suffering and prevented them from rising
in rebellion
3. If Karl Marx was alive today, he would say that television is the opiate of
the people.
4. Television and similar entertainments are even more of an opiate because of their addictive tendencies.
3241 THE RIGHT ABSWER
5- TIME SEQUENCE APPROACH-Either dates or time sequence indicating words: Be aware of the time indication either by
giving years or by using time indicating words. Arrange the sentences using their proper time sequence. Here are a few time
sequence indicating words -Before after later EXAMPLE FOR THIS
1. Then two astronomersthe German, Johannes Kepler, and the Italian, Galileo Galilei-started publicly to support the
Copernican theory, despite the fact that the orbits it predicted did not quite match the ones observed.
2. His idea was that the sun was stationary at the centre and that the earth and the planets move in circular orbits around the sun.
3. A simple model was proposed in 1514 by a Polish priest, Nicholas Copernicus.
4. Nearly a century passed before this idea was taken serious
SOLUTION EXPLANATION The 3rd sentence talks about the time event and other time vents follow it in a chronological
order. So
3241 IS THE RIGHT ANSWER
6- ARTICLE APPROACH
Articles can be divided into two categories
1. Definite (the) and
2. Indefinite (a and an).
When the author uses a / an he wants to make a general statement wants to introduce the noun followed by a/an for the
first time but when he uses the he wants to refer back to some previously discussed noun. It means having the is very
unlikely in the opening sentence. If a/an and the both are used for the same noun then the sentence containing the will
come after the sentence containing a/an.
7- NOUN , PRONOUN AND ADJECTIVE APPROACH Whenever pronoun comes
it will come in the immediate sentence containing the respective noun.
i. e. A sequence can be like this Noun
Pronoun
Pronoun Pronoun or like
Noun Pronoun
.. no pronoun Noun
Pronoun
i.e. the pronoun sequence will continue till it is halted by a break (i.e. a sentence containing no pronoun) then if necessary it
will start with the noun again. We cant write pronoun after a break. It is not a correct form of writing.
7. All the paragraphs should have a relation with others and try to identify that.

8. Follow general steps like years wise Stages of life : Birth , school/education ,marriage,children, death- Stages of a
butterfly .. etc
9. It is very important you need write the correct sequence order. How many you write correct sequences you would be awarded
like that.
10. After finish the test , review your answer and check the meaning in flow . correct or not

HOW TO DESCRIBE GRAPH AND CHART IN DESCRIBE IMAGE IN PTE


There are various types of charts. In the following example we show the numbers of pets in Year 7 of a school.

So we can say
USEOFTENSES
Mind the correct use of tenses when describung a chart. If the charts deals with facts in the present (as in our example),
use the Simple Present, if the facts are the past, then use the Simple Past. If there is a connection between the past and
the present, use thePresent Perfect.
HOW TODESCRIBEACHART With the following example we would like to show you how charts are described. Mind
the three parts and do not repeat the global message in the conclusion.
A. PETS IN YEAR 7 AT A SCHOOL
We have chosen the pie chart because we think it shows the number of pets in Year 7 best.
1INTRODUCTION
Here you say what the diagram is about. Mind the title of it and do not forget to include the source.
The pie chart is about the pets in Year 7. The chart is divided into 5 parts. It is taken from
2MESSAGEOFTHEDIAGRAM
The largest number of pets are in form 7GI. There are 16 pets.
The second largest number of pets are in form 7HK. There are 8 pets. So there are more than twice as many pets in
form 7GI.
The chart shows that there are only 2 pets in form 7CS and 3 in form 7VR.
3CONCLUSION
So we can say that the most pets of Year 7 are in form 7GI and the least in form 7CS. There are more than 50 per cent of all the
pets in one form form 7GI.
B. POPULATIONGROWTHINCANADA

This graph shows the growth of the population in Canada from 1978 to 2009. It is taken from the website about Statistics in
Canada.
There are three graphs in the chart. The green graph shows the total growth of the population, the black one deals with the
migrated people in Canada and the blue graph shows the natural increase of the population. In 1988/89 there was an
enourmous growth. In the following years the total growth went down to about 250,000 in 1998/99. From that time on the
Canadian population has been gradually growing again although the natural increase slows down. So we can say that the
growth of the population in Canada is based on migration.

TIPS FOR SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS


1. Total 10 to 12 SAQ will be there , it is the last item in the reading section.
2. You need to answer with word or couple of words (2 /3) or one phrase
3. Do not repeat the answers. For instance, what is the month comes between October and December Only once you
need tell like November. Do not repeat like November November
4. Be active through out this item/question and speak in to the microphone when it will turned ON.
5. You need to have general knowledge and current affairs , idea bout maps, little technical knowledge as well
6. It is a easiest part in speaking section, so so well and get full marks.
7. In recent times , it consists of questions like they will give one image and asked the questions in that. So, be
ready for any type of questions. Normally, these image types questions come 3 to 4 nos. However in some cases
may not.

DESCRIBE IMAGE TYPE QUESTION TIPS

Describe image:
1. This item having second highest weight-age after re-tell lecture. So be focus on this, to achieve good scores in Speaking
module.
2. There are 6 to 7 different types of things will get for this item type. Like describe bar-graph, line-graph, pie-chart, block-
diagram, table, photo, picture, to name but a few.
3. You will get around 6 to 8 items. Including all different types of images as cited above.
4. Need to use different vocabulary words in this. For example you need follow below phrases to describe-
This bar-graph depicts the Australia population for 1950 to 2000. It noticeably showed from 1950 to 1970 the growth of
people is steady. However, from 1970 to 1990 fall down and touches the lowest value 35 Billions. In and all, at last , it again
taken off and reached the maximum value of 56 Billions.
Other starting phrases are: This pie-chart illustrates..
This block diagram shows
This picture / photo demonstrates This line-graph denotes..
5. Do not use much pillar words like (hmmmm, uhhh, etc) and not take long pauses.
6. Try to speak full time (40 seconds)
7. Content is not much important,, however it also one of the important factor. Main focus should be on pronunciation and oral
fluency. Do not follow any separate pronunciation , use neutral pronunciation>
8. Try to identify main/key/essential points given in the diagram and describe those points.

SUMMARIZE SENTENCES TIPS : 30 WORDS

Skim the entire passage to get an idea of its general content. You should be able to answer the question
What is the passage mainly about?
1. Scan the entire passage for key words and phrases. Words and phrases that are repeated throughout the passage are usually
important. Make a note of these.
2. If there are multiple paragraphs, the first paragraph will typically be an introduction to the topic, and will often include a brief
description of what will be discussed.
3. The last paragraph will typically close with a conclusion
4. Each paragraph will have its own topic sentence expressing the main idea. Typically, the topic sentence is the first sentence of
the paragraph (Rest of things are supporting arguments)
5. The task of summarizing a multi-paragraph passage is sometimes made easier by briefly summarizing each paragraph
first, and then combining these summaries into a single summary.Make a brief summary of each paragraph as you finish
reading it. You do not need full sentences at this point.
6. Keep your summary to a maximum of 30 words. The response box has an indicator that will tell you how many words you
have written. If you are
getting close to your word limit, but still need to write more, edit your sentence to remove unnecessary words, especially
adjectives. These can often be omitted.
7. use punctuations like comman,colon,apastrophe, ETC. You have to use the full stop in the end of the sentence.
STRATEGY FOR PTE ACADEMIC
SUCCESS
Following is the strategy that I can suggest.
1. Familiarity with computer based test.
As it is computer based, time bound exam, having a better typing speed will help. I am a software developer and can
touch type, this was one of the reason I could finish exam in two hours. So in case you have slow typing speed try to
improve it a bit.
2. Get to know each question type in all sections.
You can get information on what to expect in each question type under each section on youtube or on ptepractice.com
(Paid). You can also learn what are the best way to solve each question type. This is a must for good score. E.g. reorder
paragraph can be solved better using instructions given in youtube video and they are (I heard) worth 20 points each.
3. Try to give a sample exam on web
ptepractice.com sample paper will cost you 35$ ( ~2300INR ) and it will be exact replica of original test. You will get
scores for it and will know what sections to improve (Eg. I had low score in written discourse and so read more on how
to structure a good essay). Much better than giving exam twice.
4. Make notes on each type of questions (Very important)
I had made a list of all question types and marked them easy/medium/hard during my preparation. I had marked re tell
lecture/repeat sentence hard, but slowly learned which questions should be made quick notes for (Re tell lecture) and
which one should only be solved based on memory (repeat sentences). In the end I had reached all question types marked
as Easy.
Believe me 3 second rule and even otherwise repeat sentence looks tough but after practice it is one of the easy ones.
5. Make note of flow of exam.
This one is included in fourth point as well. Along with notes on each question, make notes section wise, try to learn
which question follows which one. Describe image is followed by Retell lecture and is quite a change as Re tell
lecture sometime come with a image causing confusion. This will keep you well prepared, though I am not sure if this
same flow is always followed
RETELL LECTURE TIPS
Find out about T method of note taking. I think it is available on youtube.
Do not pause in the middle. Have enough jotted down that you dont have to pause. That is my whole idea of jotting down a
lot.
Use words like furthermore, in addition to that, nevertheless , However , Moreover , On one side. on the other
side , Evidently , To put it in a nutshell (for conculsion) and other phrases that sound right to start a sentence with. Use
these when you finish one sentence and moving to the other. It helps to keep the flow.
