02:00Don't be discouraged by mistakes.
02:02They're part of the learning process and help you grow stronger.
02:06Today's goal is to make you comfortable and fully prepared for every listening task.
02:12We want you to approach each question with clarity and assurance,
02:16knowing you have the tools to succeed.
02:18Once you know these strategies, you'll be ready for full practice tests.
02:23This is your chance to put everything into action and see how far you've come.
02:28Now, let's dive in and complete your listening toolkit.
02:31Get ready to take your skills to the next level
02:34and approach the PTE listening section with confidence and excitement.
02:41First up, fill in the blanks.
02:44Listen to a short audio while reading a transcript with gaps.
02:47Type the missing words as you hear them.
02:50Success here means combining listening, reading, and typing quickly.
02:54Use your mouse to follow the text, staying just ahead of the speaker.
02:59Type the word as soon as you hear it, then move to the next blank.
03:03Don't stress about capitalization. Focus on spelling.
03:07Before the audio, skim the transcript to predict vocabulary.
03:11Practice by transcribing short podcasts or news clips to boost speed and accuracy.
03:17Use online dictation exercises for extra practice.
03:20Review your work for spelling mistakes and tricky words.
03:24Consistent practice will make this task second nature.
03:27Next up is the highlight incorrect words task,
03:33a true test of your listening skills and attention to detail.
03:37This section challenges you to listen carefully
03:40and spot even the smallest differences between what you hear
03:43and what you read on the screen.
03:45You'll hear an audio recording while following along with a written transcript.
03:49But be alert. Some words in the transcript won't match what's spoken.
03:54Your job is to identify and highlight these incorrect words
03:57as quickly and accurately as possible.
04:00As soon as you notice a word that doesn't match the audio,
04:03click on it to mark it as incorrect.
04:06The faster you react, the better.
04:08But don't rush. Accuracy is key.
04:11Use your mouse to follow the text in real time,
04:13moving in sync with the audio.
04:15This helps you stay focused
04:17and makes it easier to catch any discrepancies as they happen.
04:21Remember, there's negative marking in this task.
04:24That means you'll lose points for incorrect selections,
04:27so only click if you're absolutely certain a word is wrong.
04:30It's better to miss one than to guess and lose marks.
04:34Take your time and trust your instincts.
04:36If you're unsure, it's often wiser to skip than to risk a penalty.
04:41Precision matters much more than speed here.
04:44To practice, try editing transcripts of audio clips yourself.
04:48Change a few words, then listen back and see if you can spot the differences.
04:52This exercise will train your ear and sharpen your focus.
04:55For an extra challenge, work with a study partner.
04:59Take turns making changes and testing each other.
05:02Competing in this way can make practice more engaging
05:05and help you learn faster.
05:07Over time, you'll develop a keen eye for detail
05:10and a sharper ear for subtle differences in language.
05:13This skill is invaluable, not just for the test,
05:16but for real-world listening too.
05:18Stay focused from the very first word to the last.
05:21Don't let your attention drift, even for a moment,
05:24as a single missed word can make all the difference.
05:27With every practice session,
05:29you'll notice your listening accuracy and confidence improving.
05:33Celebrate your progress and keep pushing yourself to do better.
05:37Master this skill and you'll be well prepared to tackle the real test
05:41with confidence and precision.
05:43Now, let's tackle Highlight Correct Summary,
05:50a task that tests your ability to understand
05:53and condense spoken information.
05:55This skill is essential not just for exams,
05:58but for real-life situations
06:00where you need to quickly grasp the main idea of what you hear.
06:04In this task, you'll listen to an audio recording,
06:07often a short lecture or conversation.
06:10After listening, you'll be presented with several paragraphs,
06:13each offering a different summary of what you just heard.
06:17Your job is to choose the paragraph
06:19that best captures the main message and key points of the audio.
06:23While listening, take quick notes.
06:25Don't try to write down everything word for word.
06:29Instead, jot down keywords, main ideas,
06:33and any important names, dates or concepts you hear.
06:36This will help you remember the structure and focus of the audio.
06:40Pay special attention to the who, what and why as you listen.
06:45Who is involved?
06:47What happened or is being discussed?
06:49Why is it important?
06:51These questions will guide your note-taking
06:53and help you zero in on the main message.
06:56Once the audio ends, use your notes to compare each summary option.
07:00Look for the paragraph that matches the main ideas and structure you captured.
07:05Don't be distracted by options that include extra details
07:08or minor points that weren't central to the audio.
07:11Eliminate any options that contain information not mentioned in the audio
07:15or that focus on less important details.
07:18The correct summary will be concise, accurate,
07:21and reflect the speaker's main message.
07:24Remember, the best summary is the one that captures the essence of the audio,
07:28its main message and key supporting points,
07:31without adding or omitting important information.
07:34If you find two options that seem very similar,
07:36look back at your notes and ask yourself which one matches the main ideas most closely.
07:41Trust your notes.
07:43They're your best guide.
07:45To get better at this,
07:46practice by listening to short lectures or videos
07:49and writing your own one-paragraph summaries.
07:52This will train you to identify main ideas quickly and express them clearly.
07:57After you write your summary, compare it to the original source or transcript.
08:02See how well you captured the main message and supporting points.
08:06This reflection helps you improve your listening and summarizing skills.
08:10Over time, this practice will build your ability to quickly identify main ideas,
08:16filter out unnecessary details,
08:18and choose the correct summary with greater speed and accuracy.
08:22With regular practice and a focus on main ideas,
08:25you'll soon be able to spot the correct summary with confidence and ease,
08:29both in tests and in everyday listening situations.
08:36The select missing word task tests your prediction skills.
08:40Listen to an audio that ends abruptly.
08:42Choose the word or phrase that logically completes it.
08:46Pay attention to context, tone, and sentence structure from the start.
08:50As the audio nears the end,
08:52anticipate what kind of word should come next.
08:55Use clues from grammar and meaning to predict the ending.
08:58When options appear,
09:00eliminate those that don't fit logically or grammatically.
09:03Trust your understanding of the context.
09:06Practice by pausing sentences in podcasts or audio books before the end
09:11and guessing the final word.
09:13This will train your brain to think ahead.
09:15The more you practice,
09:17the better you'll get at predicting endings.
09:20This skill is key for success in this task.
09:26Now for multiple choice multiple answer.
09:29Listen to an audio and select all correct answers from a list.
09:33Read the question and options before the audio starts.
09:36Know what to listen for.
09:38As you listen, note information that matches the options.
09:41Negative marking applies.
09:43Only select answers you're sure about.
09:46Accuracy is crucial.
09:48Don't guess if you're unsure.
09:50After the audio,
09:51check each option against your notes and memory.
09:54Watch out for options that use keywords but twist the meaning.
09:58Practice with longer audio clips and answer multi-point questions.
10:02This builds your ability to track multiple details.
10:05Careful listening and note taking are your best tools here.
10:08Finally, multiple choice, choose single answer.
10:15Listen to an audio and pick the one correct answer from several options.
10:20Read the question first to focus your listening.
10:23Glance at the options if you have time.
10:25Know what to expect.
10:26Listen for keywords and main ideas that answer the question.
10:29Take brief notes if needed.
10:31After the audio, use elimination to discard wrong options.
10:35Distractors may sound plausible but don't answer the question directly.
10:39Choose the answer that best matches the question and audio.
10:43Be confident in your choice and move on.
10:45Practice will make this process quick and accurate.
10:51Now it's time to practice and make these strategies automatic.
10:55Work on each task type individually before combining them in mock tests.
11:00For fill in the blanks, improve your typing speed and accuracy.
11:04For highlight incorrect words, listen to various English accents.
11:09For summary and comprehension tasks, practice active listening and summarizing.
11:14For select missing word, predict sentence endings in real audio.
11:18Schedule focus practice for each task type throughout the week.
11:22Spend 15-20 minutes daily on one or two types.
11:26This structured approach ensures you build skills in every area.
11:33Congratulations on finishing day 10.
11:35You've covered every PTE academic question type.
11:39You now have all the strategies and tools you need.
11:41The next step is practice.
