4. How to
Increase Fluency
Fluency Rule 1: Never Pause
Even if you
forget, keep speaking smoothly.
Fluency Rule 2: Use the “Shadowing” Technique
Practice
repeating English sentences immediately after you hear them.
Fluency Rule 3: Use Chunking (Group Words)
Repeat chunks,
not individual words.
Example:
“The economic impact of tourism has been widely discussed.”
Fluency Rule 4: No “um… ah…”
PTE penalizes
fillers heavily.
Fluency Rule 5: Speak at a natural speed
80–90
words/minute is ideal.
5. How to
Improve Pronunciation
Tip 1: Open your mouth clearly
Sharp vowel
sounds = higher pronunciation score.
Tip 2: Maintain correct stress
- IMPACT
- econÓmic
- devÉlopment
Tip 3: Reduce mother-tongue influence
Focus on:
- /v/ vs /b/
- /s/ vs /sh/
- /z/ vs /j/
- Final
consonants ("impact", "find", "work")
Tip 4: Practice with AI tools
Record and listen
to your speech daily.
6. How to
Increase Content Score
Step 1: Listen to the First 4–5 Words
Your memory will
pick the rest if you maintain rhythm.
Step 2: Use the “Syllable Echoing Technique”
Don’t memorize
words—copy the melody.
Step 3: Repeat 70–80% of the sentence
Even if you miss
a few words, continue speaking.
Example:
Heard: “The lecture on human psychology will begin at eleven.”
Said: “The lecture on human psychology will begin at eleven.”
(Even if you miss will, you still score high)
