口语:
Personal Introduction自我介绍
每一位考生都会有一分钟的时间进行自我介绍。建议考生考前准备一小段简短的自我介绍,比如姓名、来自哪里、兴趣等,可以适当设计一些长句子,保证可以流利的表达出自己的意思和想法,同时可以增加自己的自信心。
需要注意的是,所有口语录音过程中间如果出现三秒钟以上的停顿,不管时间到没到,则录音完毕,你想说也说不了。所以中间绝对不能有停顿,这对大家的口语连贯和思路清晰性都提出了更高的要求。
重点:这部分不算分,所以完全不用担心。真的不算分!
1. Read aloud朗读
屏幕上会显示一段话,有35秒的准备时间,录音时间也是35秒。你要做的就是在35秒的准备时间中默读这句话,录音开始后流利准确地朗读这段话。题目数量大概有6-7题。此类题中出现的单词水平总体而言是很普通的,每一题会出现大约一个托福词汇水平的单词,难度并不高。
例:History rubs shoulders and often overlaps with many other areas of research, from myths and epics to the social sciences, including economics, politics, biography, demography, and much else besides. Some histories are almost pure narratives, while others go in for detailed, tightly focused analyses of, for example, the parish records of a Cornish village in the 16th century.
2. Repeat sentence重复句子
题目开始后系统会读出一个短句,大概9-15个单词,然后由你来复述这个句子。这个题目看似简单,但实质上如果想把句子一字不差的重复下来,难度还是很高的。这是PTE考试特色之一,所有给出材料的读音,涵盖美国口音,英国口音,澳洲口音。
这一部分要注意的是题目录音结束后是没有提示音的,也就是说录音结束后要立刻复述你听到的内容。总共10道题左右,屏幕上没有文本。尽可能的模仿你听到的内容、语音语调。
例:He doesn't have the ability to do the work properly.
5. Answer short question回答问题
比较简单的一题,10秒回答时间。比如屏幕上出现@这个标志,问你在哪里可以见到这个标志。你只需回答一个词或简单的几个词就好,难度较低。录音给你一个题目,3秒钟准备,提示音结束后回答。常识性问题,答案通常是一两个词,不会是一句话。
写作:
1. Summarize Written Text
屏幕上显示一篇2-4段的文章,有10分钟的时间,用一句话概括整篇文章,75个字以内,1-2题。重点是只能写一个句子!所以这一题考察的是考生在写作方面的语法,从句水平和理解文章的能力。
例:As the renewable energy industry continues to boom, floating solar panels are having a moment, getting installed in India, Korea, Australia, and even the United States. In addition to being a clean, green source of energy, the combination of solar panels and bodies of water is beneficial for other reasons as well. By shading the water, the panels reduceevaporation, helping conserve water in drought-prone areas.
The floating solar panels in Brazil will have a capacity of 350 megawatts, making it one of the largest floating solar farms anywhere in the world. Currently, Japan holds the record forthe largest floating solar farm with an output of about 13.4 megawatts.
A unit of electrical power, the megawatt is used to quantify how much electricity a power plant produces. To put those numbers in perspective, the average output of a coal firedpower plant in the United States is about 239 megawatts. Not only will this floating solar farm theoretically outpace that, but the reservoir that the panels will be installed in is also asource of hydroelectric power, with a capacity of about 250 megawatts. That's a total maximum output of 600 megawatts.
The amount of homes that a single megawatt can power varies by a lot, depending on a number of factors--but one estimate says that a single megawatt can power 164 homes inthe United States.
你要做的就是用一个句子,最多75个字,来总结上面这篇文章。
2. Write Essay
给你一个题目,和雅思大作文类似,只需写200-300字,时间20分钟,1-2题。虽然只有20分钟,但难度比雅思简单几十倍。时间完全够,还可以回头慢慢检查。
例: In many countries traditional foods are being replaced by international fast foods. This is having a negative effect on both families and societies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
3. Fill in the blanks
类似于国内四六级的完形填空,有2-4题,主要考察阅读速度,单词量和固定搭配
4. Re-order paragraph
屏幕上显出4-6句子,顺序是打乱的,你要做的是按照逻辑顺序,语法结构和上下文意思把这些句子排出正确的顺序,2-3题左右,难度适中,但占分比值较大,必须多花点时间,保证准确度。
例:题目开始时会出现四个句子,然后排出正确的顺序组成一段文。
6. Select missing word
听一篇短文,在结尾会突然消音,有四个选项,选出消音的部份。要做对这题,要至少能听懂文章的后半部分,对考生的听力水平要求较高。
7. Highlight incorrect words
听一篇短文,选出听到的和看到的不一样的单词,最简单的题目,反应快即可。
8 Write from dictation
录音会读出一个句子,写出那个句子即可,考察学生的听力和单词拼写能力。
例: 录音会读出She asked him to stay, but he had to go to work. 然后你就把听到的句子写上去。
