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, dont start it over.
  Complete the
• sentence and add you missed point as a new
  sentence.

Conclusion

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