Do you think that fluency is more important than pronunciation?
Hi guys how have you been?
It's Moni again from PTE magic it's been a while so today what I want
to have a look at a speaking session and specifically we're going to find out
what is the most important task in speaking so we all know that there are
totally five different tasks in speaking which are a read aloud, repeat sentence
describe image, retell lecture and answer short questions
just to remind you
that in one of my other videos I did another experiment with skipping retell
lecture and still ending up getting 89 in speaking
and for some reason sa lot of
people have been messaging me, like emailing me asking if they should skip
retell lecture in order to score high and speaking
away should I do it
and the answer is absolutely not guys you should never ever skip any task in PTE
especially in speaking
don't do it man just don't do it and you know like even
though I it looks like I lost only one point in speaking but I actually lost
more than that because the real speaking score is more than 90
it's just an experiment to show you that even if you do not do well in retell lecture you
still have a chance to achieve 79 in speaking
don't worry about it
anyways in order to identify the critical part, task in speaking what I
did was I attempted mock test A on ptepractice.com again and at this time
I skipped Read Aloud and let's have a look at my results
so from here we can see that I lost a lot of points in pronunciation and also
my speaking dropped to 67 and even though the fluency is still okay at 80 points
because my pronunciation was not too good and there was no content in read aloud
that's why I lost significant points in speaking
you can generally trace it back
to one big bad decision
another experiment is skipping Describe
image and for this I attempted mock B
it's quite similar to the one before and my speaking score is just over 60 but
pronunciation is pretty low with fluency being 90 however if you look at the
vocabulary score it's very low at only 49 so it means I'm losing a lot of
content in a describe image
words cannot begin to describe the injustice that
that picture does dear
what about repeat sentence
now I didn't test that but
if we go back to my one of my old videos with repeat sentence and write from dictation
you could see that by only doing repeat sentence I got almost 30 points in
speaking
so I believe that we should all be consistent in speaking and maintain both
fluency and pronunciation, and speaking of that,
do you think that fluency is
more important than pronunciation?
reception are you speaking?
to answer these questions I just wanted to share with you our latest case with
one of our students who did the test last week and achieved 79 plus all bands
and specifically her Speaking was at 85 even though her pronunciation was only 48 (sorry 42 guys!)
so she realized that it was very arduous for her to fix her pronunciation so she
started to focus more on fluency and her pitch thus was able to increase her
score in speaking
perfect pitch
so I guess having a bad pronunciation is not
the end of the world if you are able to fix your flow and your pitch and also do
well in the tasks like repeat sentence then you can score high in speaking
if I repeat that crazy shit,
and if you're not too sure about your speaking
you can also email me your recordings to
to receive a feedback
and now let's check out a few recordings from Ha
who got 42 Pronunciation and 90 Fluency
Two sisters were at a dinner party when the conversation turned to upbringing the elder sister
started to say that her parents has been rhetoric and as she had been rather
frightened of them her sister younger by two years
interrupted in amazement what are you talking about she said our parents were
very lenient the Japanese tea ceremony is a ratio at or influenced by Buddhism
English green tea is prepared and served to a small group of guests in a peaceful
setting the ceremony can take as long as four hours and there are many
traditional gestures that was the server and the guests must perform Algirdas
were given the powers of an absolute moaners but he presented himself at the
preserver of republican traditions he treated the standard of state council
with great respect and was made consul year after year he successfully reduce
the political power of the army by retiring many soldiers but giving them
land or money to keep their loyalty the picture below show comparison between
different trout style we can see that the sigh is ranging from 10 20 30 40 50
and 60 therefore trust in the picture the first one in more than 15 years
with a size 60 the second one is just a witness type 50 the third one in three
years a witness died of 30 and the final one
in one years our witness died 20 we can also say that that different color in
the picture from red yellow white and blue so in conclusion the pictures show
different choice I'd ranging from 15 years o to one years old the picture
below show a simple circuit with life we can see that in the picture that two
main elements the first one is a battery in black and gold color the second one
your life up in white color we can also see that the electric city life is
moving from the negative side of the battery to what the laibach and then
move towards the positive side of the battery in conclusion the picture shows
a simple circuit with life with the black and gold color battery and the
wildlife Bob we can see that a lot of information can be seen from the picture
today we're going to recount heroic tales of superhuman feats of strength
when in the face of disaster some people are said to have summoned up
incredible physical power to lift a car off of an accident victim move giant
rocks bigjon of song single-handedly hold up a collapsing beam to let the
other miners escape there's even the case where the MD 500d helicopter
crashed in 1988 pinning the pilot under shallow water and his burly friend Nick
named tiny ran over and lifted the one-ton helicopter enough for the pilot
to be pulled out and of course the list goes on and on and on in each of these
cases some aspect of leverage or buoyancy probably played some role in
reducing the magnitude of the feat to something more believable and even
lifting many cars by several inches still leaves most of its weight
supported by the suspension Springs but our purpose today is not to debunk any
of these specific stories the majority of them are anecdotal and interestingly
not repeatable in many cases the person summoned the super strength later tried
it again only to find that they couldn't do it basically what we have is a
respectably large body of anecdotal evidence that suggests that in times of
crisis danger or fear some people have the ability to temporarily exercise
superhuman strength
the speaker was talking about Superman or the ability of human to develop
significant physical power in the time of disaster there are anecdotes to the
story that is possible for human to develop temporary must've treads voice
they blow the case of Colorado in 1895 the case in 2009 in that is 60 and in
1988 with the case of a helicopter there are some aspects to those Nibin stories
that they are not repeatable and they only develop in the time of crisis
nature or fear without any evidence
If you havebeen watching my videos he probably already noticed that I always
use real cases and practice approach to deal with PTE so I will be showing
you more videos like this in the future with different cases from our students
