00:52Instead, it's about clear, correct, and well-structured writing that's easy to follow.
00:56The computer values structure and accuracy over creativity.
01:00A logical flow and correct grammar are your best friends here.
01:03A simple, well-expressed idea will always score higher than a complex one with poor grammar or confusing structure.
01:09Don't overcomplicate things.
01:11Our goal today is to learn a repeatable method for high-scoring essays,
01:15so you can approach any topic with confidence and a clear plan.
01:18We'll break down the 20 minutes into a step-by-step plan, showing you exactly how to use your time wisely, from brainstorming to proofreading.
01:26I'll give you a template you can use for almost any topic, making it easier to organize your thoughts and write quickly.

01:46Let's get started and turn this task into your strength.
01:49Ready? Let's dive in and master the PTE Write Essay together.
01:52Structure is the backbone of your PTE essay.
01:58It's what holds your ideas together and gives your writing a clear direction from start to finish.
02:03Think of it as the blueprint for building a house. Without it, everything falls apart.
02:08Just like a house needs a solid plan, your essay needs a strong structure to stand tall.
02:13A clear structure helps you organize your thoughts and makes your essay easy to follow.
02:17It guides your reader, showing them exactly where your argument is going.
02:21The computer looks for patterns, introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.
02:26These sections are like signposts, making your essay logical and easy to grade.
02:31Many students waste time chasing complex ideas and end up rushing, making mistakes.
02:36Without structure, it's easy to get lost or overwhelmed by your own thoughts.
02:40Instead, focus on a perfect structure with simple, clear points.
02:44This approach saves time and helps you stay calm under pressure.
02:48The ideal PTE essay has four paragraphs.
02:51Introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
02:54This format is easy to remember and works for almost any topic.
02:59Introduction, introduce the topic and your main point.
03:02Set the stage for your argument and let the reader know what to expect.
03:05Body paragraph one, discuss one side of the argument.
03:09Give reasons and examples to support your view.
03:12Body paragraph two, discuss the other side.
03:14Show you understand different perspectives and add balance to your essay.
03:18Conclusion, summarize and restate your opinion.
03:21Wrap up your essay by clearly stating your final thoughts.
03:24Memorize this structure.
03:26It removes stress and gives you a clear path.
03:28When you know what comes next, you can write with confidence and speed.
03:32With structure in place, you can focus on grammar, vocabulary, and spelling.
03:36These details matter, but only after your essay is well organized.
03:40Think of structure as your safety net.
03:42It keeps your essay strong no matter the topic.
03:45Even if you're unsure about the content, structure will support you.
03:49Master the structure and you're halfway there.
03:52It's the secret to writing essays that impress examiners every time.
03:56Let's see how to use it in practice and make your essay writing journey much easier.
04:01Here's your secret weapon, the four-paragraph essay template.
04:08Memorize these sentence frames and use them for any topic.
04:11Introduction, paraphrase the question and state your position.
04:15Example, the issue of topic is widely debated.
04:18Add, this essay will discuss both sides before giving a final opinion.
04:22Body paragraph one, start with on the one hand, main idea.
04:26Explain and give an example.
04:28Example, for instance, a recent study showed that example.
04:32Body paragraph two, use.
04:34On the other hand, opposite idea.
04:36Explain and provide an example.
04:38Example, a clear example of this is example.
04:41Conclusion, summarize both sides and restate your opinion.
04:45This template saves time and mental energy, letting you focus on accuracy.
04:50Practice filling in these frames with different topics.
04:53The more you use the template, the faster and more confident you'll become.
04:57Balanced essays score higher.
04:59Show both perspectives.
05:00Let's put this template into action.
05:02Ready to plan your essay?
05:04Let's move on.
05:08You might think 20 minutes isn't enough time to write a great essay.
05:11But with the right strategy, it's more than enough.
05:14If you have a plan and stick to it.
05:16Break your time into three clear steps.
05:18Planning, writing, and checking.
05:21Each part is important for your success.
05:24Step one.
05:25Spend three to four minutes brainstorming.
05:27Don't start writing yet.
05:28Just think of one simple point for each side of the argument
05:31and a quick example to support each one.
05:33Step two.
05:34Write for 15 minutes using your template or outline.
05:37Focus on clear sentences, correct grammar, and aim for 200 to 300 words.
05:42Don't worry about making it perfect on the first try.
05:44Just get your ideas down.
05:46Step three.
05:47Save the last two minutes to check your work.
05:50Look for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors
05:52and make sure your ideas are clear.
05:54Many students skip the final check.
05:56Don't make that mistake.
05:57Fixing small errors can boost your score and make your writing look polished.
06:01Always read your essay once before submitting.
06:04This last look can help you catch things you missed.
06:07Practicing this routine at home makes it automatic on test day,
06:10so you won't have to think about what to do next.
06:13Stick to the plan every time you practice,
06:15and you'll build confidence and speed.
06:17Planning gives you a roadmap.
06:19Writing fills in the details,
06:20and checking polishes your work so it shines.
06:23Aim for about 250 words to stay in the safe zone.
06:27Long enough to show your skills but short enough to check.
06:30Don't chase perfection.
06:31Get your ideas down first,
06:33then use your last minutes to refine and improve.
06:36With this game plan, you'll stay calm, focused,
06:39and ready to tackle any writing task.
06:42Let's try it with a real example.
06:44Ready to brainstorm?
06:45Here we go.
06:46Let's practice together and build your skills step by step.
06:52Let's practice brainstorming with a real PTE topic.
06:55Should university education be free for everyone?
06:58You need two clear points, one for each side.
07:01For the for side, main idea, equal opportunity.
07:05Reason, poor but talented students can attend.
07:08Example, Germany offers free university,
07:11leading to a diverse, skilled workforce.
07:13For the against side.
07:15Main idea, lower quality.
07:17Reason, lack of funding without fees.
07:20Example, underfunded universities have overcrowded classes
07:24and fewer resources.
07:25That's your plan.
07:26Two main ideas, reasons, and examples.
07:29Simple, clear, and balanced.
07:31Now you're ready to fill in the template.
07:33This approach works for any topic.
07:36Don't overthink it.
07:37Quick brainstorming keeps you on track and saves time.
07:40Let's use these ideas to write a full essay.
07:42Ready to write?
07:43Set your timer for 20 minutes.
07:45Use your plan and template.
07:47Focus on clarity and structure.
07:49Let's get started.
07:50You've got this.
07:54Time to write your essay on free university education.
07:57Introduction.
07:59The question of whether higher education should be free is widely debated.
08:03Add, this essay will examine both sides before offering a conclusion.
08:07Body Paragraph 1.
08:08On the one hand, free university creates equal opportunities.
08:12It allows talented students from low-income backgrounds to succeed.
08:16For example, Germany's free universities produce a diverse workforce.
08:20Body Paragraph 2.
08:22On the other hand, free education may lower quality.
08:25Without tuition fees, universities may lack funding, leading to overcrowded classes and
08:29outdated facilities.
08:31Some public universities struggle with these issues.
08:34Conclusion.
08:35In summary, while free university promotes equality, it can also impact quality.
08:40A balanced approach is needed.
08:42Focus on grammar, spelling, and clear sentences.
08:45Aim for 200-280 words.
