  1. 5 common mistakes in PTE Speaking Task

  2. The PTE Academic test assesses your spoken language skills. This test differs from others in that instead of speaking face to face with an examiner, you must talk into a microphone and record your responses.

  3. Let's take a look at some of the most typical blunders and how to avoid them. • Speaking unnaturally • Not speaking into the microphone • Interjecting with sounds or fillers • Use formal academic language • Complete your sentences

  4. Speaking unnaturally You must be fluent in your speech to pass the PTE Academic Speaking test. Fluency, on the other hand, does not mean speaking speedily.

  5. Not speaking into the microphone It's also a skill to learn how to speak into a microphone. Purchase a good microphone and recorder, and listen to your speech once it has been recorded. When you listen to yourself, check to see if you breathed into the microphone, which can happen when we speak words with sounds like "ph," "sh," "ch," "b," and so on. Also, avoid clearing your throat, coughing, sneezing, sighing, etc. during your talk because the automated grading system may take it as a word. It's a good idea to practice speaking clearly and completely.

  6. Interjecting with sounds or fillers In normal circumstances, we will take a moment and think about our next phrase or expression by using noises like "hmmm" or "aaah." Some people have the habit of using words like "like," "so," and other similar expressions in every phrase. When we are having a conversation, it is natural and does not disrupt the flow of our conversation. However, it is recorded as a word in the PTE Academic Speaking test, which breaks the coherence of our statements and results in a low score.

  7. Use formal academic language It's critical that you respond to the tasks in a professional manner, using vocabulary from academic sources. You should keep your structures passive and utilize amazing terms rather than the common language we use in social interactions. It's also important to avoid repeating the same word over and over again. Differ your language use, and speak in exact terms while remaining focused on the task.

  8. Complete your sentences Make sure you have all of your sentences prepared out. Move on to the next sentence without leaving any sentences unfinished. Don't panic or feel pressed for time, as this will lead to hasty conversation and a major blunder. Make your sentence structures and express them clearly and articulately. Don't rush through your assignment by speaking in fragmented sentences and phrases. Also, if you find that you have overlooked a piece of information or points in your sentence while speaking, don’t start it over. Complete the sentence and add you missed point as a new sentence.

  9. Conclusion Avoiding these blunders will help you ace the PTE Academic Speaking section with ease.
