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, dont 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.
