Techniques and Strategies

In the PTE Academic exam, Section One combines speaking and writing tasks designed to assess your English communication skills in both everyday and academic contexts. This section is crucial because it sets the tone for your performance on the rest of the exam. Here I explain the different types of questions you might encounter in Section One, specifically focused on Speaking and Writing:

Each task in Section One of Speaking and Writing is designed to test different aspects of your English language ability. To prepare effectively, it is vital to practice each type of question and familiarize yourself with the specific strategies that maximize your performance on each task.

Tip: The Speaking and Writing section of the PTE Academic tests not only your ability to use English correctly, but also your ability to organize your thoughts quickly and effectively. It is essential that you practice articulating clear and coherent responses in a tight time frame, while maintaining good grammar and accurate pronunciation.

Strategy: Alternate between speaking and writing activities to develop both skills simultaneously. For example, after writing an essay, try summarizing it orally. This practice will help you improve the clarity and organization of your ideas in both speaking and writing.
