PTE Academic Exam Preparation: Writing Mastery (Achieve 79+)

Description

**2024 UPDATE!** While the PTE exam became slightly shorter (from 3hrs to 2hrs with fewer questions), the question types remained the same, and therefore the practice, guidance, tips and tricks in this course are up-to-date :) I have also recently updated and improved the sound quality on ALL videos to ensure it's crystal clear for you! Enjoy ^_^

The writing section of any English exam is a source of anxiety for many students, and the PTE is no exception. Writing is a crucial part of learning a language, and to achieve your goal of passing the PTE to progress in areas like your work, study, or visa status, you need to prove your ability.

This course will equip you with everything you need to achieve your highest potential in the writing section of the PTE exam, guiding you through each part and providing examples every step of the way. It is not just a quick exam overview - I dive deep into the main question types and take you through my best methods to genuinely improve your writing skills AND learn the exam back-to-front.

Based on my 10+ years of English language teaching experience at top schools and universities in New Zealand and Australia, I have created this course to target the most-needed skills to achieve top scores in academic writing in the PTE exam, as efficiently as possible. This includes Score 90 sample answers, PTE vocabulary lists, focused lessons on elements of writing that will improve your writing the fastest, and an emphasis on structure and logic.

I am also here with you the entire way to answer questions and help you out - writing is my absolute favourite subject to teach and I love discussing it, so your questions are more than welcome!

You will learn:

• Fundamentals of word forms and sentence structure, which are essential to writing strong summaries and essays

• A 3-step approach to Summarize Written Text, helping you to break this task into manageable stages as we write the task answers together

• Recommendations for the easiest ways to include complex structures in your writing to impress the scoring matrix

• All of the criteria for both Summarize Written Text and Write Essay to understand how you are scored

• Strong essay structure for each essay question type in the PTE exam, complete with sample essay questions and key language to identify question type

• A deeper look into developing an essay, from introductions to body paragraphs to conclusions, with walk-through examples and the option to write your own

• How to use clause and sentence connectors (linking words) as well as complex language to create logic, cohesion, and sophistication

• My top tips for achieving strong academic style in essay writing, with examples of the good and the bad

• Sample Score 90 essays will be provided for your reference and analysis throughout the course, exemplifying points taught in each Module

• For more advanced students seeking 79+, specific recommendations for essay development and language use are given to bring greater sophistication to your style

• At the end of the course, we will test your learning by looking at a full student sample essay to identify errors and problems in the essay, before comparing it to a Score 90 sample of the same topic
