instance was iOS with a less than 200 million. The biggest loser over the studied period was

Speaking – Retell lecture:

Retell lecture template

Introduction:

The lecture was a brief discussion on the subject of…..

Main body:

Another clearly important point covered in the conversation/talk was….

Conclusion:

It can be understood from this conversation/talk….

Example:

Let‟s take the below sample lecture:

I love sports and I like playing sports, games playing games and whenever you know or hear

about or think about cheating. I think most of us say oh you know the knee jerk response you

say its terrible. Like people shouldn‟t cheat and shouldn‟t break the rules. But I got thinking

about it and sometimes when I read the sport session the newspaper particularly seems like

three quarters of the article about some version of cheating. Either contractually or

performance enhancing or trying to gain some advantage on the other side of the rules and I

got thinking you know. Maybe we actually like it that way, cheating is just like the heighten

version of wanting to win really really badly. So in a way I kind a admirer the people who cheat

to win. Cheating to lose is different and we punish no one more then people who throw a

game, cheating to loose is really hitting the line. Cheating to win, I think we kinda get it, we say

that even if it Alex Rodrigues, he lives in New York. He when from being one of the, he is still

one of the most famous athletes in the last 50 years. But went from being revealed from a

unbelievable talent, to one of the most despised athletics. He cheated over and over again, kept

lying about it, kept getting caught in a hand handed way. Even so you kinda have to respect

someone who wants so badly to win and do better that they are willing to give themselves

human growth hormones. So in that way, I kinda think that cheating is like something that we

route for a little bit. We get it, we identify it a little bit.

PTE Academic mini guide (PTEPreparation.com)

Sample answer with template:

The lecture was a brief discussion on the subject of how people think about cheating in sports.

Another clearly important point covered in the talk was that people are obsessed with cheating and

in a way, it‟s respected because we respect that an athlete is so dedicated to winning that they are

willing to cheat to do it. If people cheat to lose, however, they are undoubtedly punished severely.

This proves that our emphasis is on the winning aspect of cheating. As a concluding remark, it can

be firmly established that even though we know it‟s wrong, people secretly cheer for and support

cheaters because secretly we respect their drive to win.

Steven‟s Note: Again, keep the focus on speaking fluently and eliminating pauses. More

structures available my Ebook and full Video Course.

Filled Essay template example

Question: One in 100 people worldwide are now displaced from their homes and 2015 saw a

record 1.3 million asylum seekers to Europe. To what extent should countries accept or reject

refugees?

These days, there is an ongoing debate among people about television and if it should be

viewed as a positive or negative impact to society. While it is possible to claim that television

provides a source of entertainment to people, my view is that the disadvantages outweigh

the advantages. In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by analysing both sides of the

argument.

There are several reasons why Television is considered to be disadvantageous to society. One of

them is that viewing of television can be a source of distraction in our lives, turning away our

focus from the more important things in life. It can also be argued that we tend to waste hours

in front of the television instead of working on our goals and ambitions in life. It should also be

taken into account that children at a young age spending too much time in front of the

television. For example, some people spend all their free time in front of the television instead

of working on productive activities.

Those who argue for television have a different view and say that it can actually be a good thing.

Firstly, it is claimed that Television can be a good source of information to learn new things if

used correctly. Then, there are concerns about people not viewing television to be unaware of

current events and latest news around the world.

While there are strong arguments on both sides of the case, my personal opinion is that

television usage is best avoided or minimized as we should focus on other productive tasks

instead. I would strongly recommend that people view how much time they currently spend on

watching television and see how this time can be put to better use.

Steven‟s note: Your score also depends on how well you fill in the blanks with content. You also

need to take care of grammar, vocabulary and spellings while completing this structure to do

well. There are two more Essay templates for „Agree/disagree‟ and „Problem/solution‟ essay
