Pronunciation in PTE Is Not What You Think [Read Aloud and Repeat Sentence]

[@horrorintake995]

Hi Sonny, I just wanna say thank you, Ive tried 3 times and keep failing in writing, then i watched your video only and writing pass but my reading suddenly 76, I am not giving up, I watched your video about reading and took the test 5 days after my 4th exam. So on Thursday 19 nov, i took it and I got all 90s. :,) Thank you so much Sonny. I watched a lot of videos but you are the best and the correct one indeed!!!

[@SonnyEnglish]

Great job! Wow that is excellent news! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@holypunk12]

Thanks for some amazing trips man! Cleared PTE with overall 82. Especially your experiments to show marks on different categories made me focus on important stuff. Other than that I kept refer for describe image and essay ones.

[@SonnyEnglish]

Nice work! Congratulations on getting your score. Thank you for sharing.

[@minglingxiong55]

And regarding the time of RA, I normally finish between 25-35 seconds. But from the practice, I always get 2 or below in Oral Fluency. This is the part I need to work on. Looking forward to your video about Oral Fluency.

[@SonnyEnglish]

If you are getting 2 or below in fluency, that means you are using a non official mock test. Only non official mock tests give scores like that. That is not an effective way to evaluate your speaking. It is not accurate.

[@minglingxiong55]

@@SonnyEnglish Where we can find a better reliable practice platform?

[@sai_2230]

I did my official mock test and I got 88 in speaking fluency 90 and pronunciation 48. Because of low pronunciation I got less in reading. Now I got to know what mistake I have done. Thankyou

[@SonnyEnglish]

You are welcome!

[@kristiislam2710]

Really like the way you elaborate, how should we speak in RS,and RL . Thank you

[@SonnyEnglish]

My pleasure!

[@minglingxiong55]

Hahaha, the question you asked at the end is exactly the question I want to ask. What I gonna do if I forget half of the content in RS? From my experience, I can normally remember the latter half of the sentence, and I would just make up the earlier half from the vague memory and try to talk it back in a confident manner. This is only in practice; I have taken the real test.

You helped me a lot ❤️

[@SonnyEnglish]

Glad I could help bud!

Hi Sonny ,awesome video man; now can you please answer that question for me , what do you do if you forget parts of the sentence?????

I have to say “Sonny is the best”

[@SonnyEnglish]

Thank you I appreciate that.

[@minglingxiong55]

Another question, do you have one-on-one tutorials? May I know the price please if yes? I will see if I can afford it. I have been preparing for the test for 2 and a half months and plan to give it a shot at the end of this month or early Jan. I don't feel like I need the whole lessons, maybe I need a more specific direction. I was not so confident about WE, but your videos saved me. I already learned many useful tips from your free KZbin videos. Thank you. And merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@SonnyEnglish]

My rate for private lessons can be found here justasksonny.com/private-lessons/.

[@minglingxiong55]

@@SonnyEnglish Thank you for the information, the price is affordable, but it says the nearest availability is on Jan 12, which is a bit late for my first attempt. So I guess I will learn from your KZbin channel first, and see what score I will get.

[@rafaelcarneiro9293]

Hi Sonny, thank you for sharing this with us. Just one question, if i start to talk around 7-10 seconds after heart the sentence, i will loose points? Normally I like to write the sentence and then speak easily.

[@SonnyEnglish]

I don't believe you can wait that long bud. I have not attempted that because I believe the mic will turn off after a long period of silence. The instructions say 3 seconds.

[@madidamhahle6261]

My other question; can you also add words that are not in the sentence to maximise fluency and pronounciation??

[@emejuluoge7431]

Please how will I improve in my pronunciation and oral fluency. Have been following you and trying but during exams, l still encounter such problem.

[@larissacacau1489]

What should I say if I could not remember some words in the Repeat sentence??

[@wwhcfy3816]

Hi Sonny, I just added something like "which is good" at the end of the sentences in Repeat Sentence for the words I can't remember. but did not get good points.... could you please show the best way to cover this. Thanks

[@SonnyEnglish]

I have tried that before as well. It doesn't work.

[@wwhcfy3816]

@@SonnyEnglish could you pls share if there are any good ways to cover up the missing words in RS, deeply appreciated.

Hey Sonny! If they say don't and i speak do not, do I lose marks?

[@SonnyEnglish]

I have not tested that. I assume you will not get the full marks.

[@jinoolee9078]

so what do you do if you can't remember the content? do you just make up a sentence with perfect pronunciation and fluency?

[@mehmet-hv5sk]

I did my real exam and i got overall 47 (speaking is 43) , grammar 60, oral fluency 53, pronunciation 48, spelling 86, vocab 41, written discourse 68. What can i do?

[@mahfuzahasan8639]

When I forget half of the contents in RS, I repeat the other half & confidently make something very relatable in my mind and just say it.. will it be okay to cover my fluency and pronunciation to get band 7?? @Sonny English

[@SonnyEnglish]

To be honest I have never tried that. However, for the score that you need, you don't even need half of the content in RS. Therefore, making up the reminder of the sentence should be perfectly fine.

[@fearthechrisgaming]

I can finish a single item of RA in 26-30 secs.

[@SonnyEnglish]

What kind of scores have you gotten in speaking and fluency?

[@fearthechrisgaming]

@@SonnyEnglish I got 87 for fluency and 88 for pronunciation. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to get 79 in both reading and writing and that's why I signed up in your score assessment webnar. I need to know what should improve to get that illusive superior rating.

If you use just 2 Word with good fluence and prononciation, what is happened? 1 point for content 5 point for fluence 5 point for prononcuation yes? Then why we still care content? Some youtubers try that %50 content is enought for 90 speaking. Maybe you can try this just with 2 True words. I Wonder may you take +79 speaking and listening still this situtaion.

I have already tried it. I don't post everything on youtube because my students asked me not to. I know the answer to that question.
