Becoming Proficient in PTE Writing: Excel in Spelling and Typing
Hello, future PTE champions!
Let’s begin by extending a warm welcome to those of us who occasionally have difficulty writing and typingâlet’s face it, that’s all of us at some point. You’re in excellent company, so don’t worry.
We’re here to provide you with some excellent advice so you can deal with those challenging words and keys with ease. With the help of this article, put an end to those unpleasant mistakes!
Proofreading is your Secret Weapon
Imagine yourself as a spelling detective with a magnifying glass, carefully going over your text for errors. Reading aloud is your secret weapon. It’s similar to shedding light on difficult-to-find errors.
Here’s a pro tip: to uncover writing errors that might be right in front of you, read your content backward, word by word.
For instance, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” When read backward, it reads as “dog lazy the over jumps fox brown quick The.” This method highlights each word, highlighting any spelling irregularities.
I can’t wait to take the PTE exam tomorrow, for example. “Tomorrow exam PTE the take to excited so am I,” reads the sentence backward. The misspelled words “excited” and “exma” are immediately obvious!
Safeguard yourself with spell check
Never underestimate the power of technology!
Let word check assist you while you connect with your inner tech expert. However, use caution because auto-correct might deceive you and become a buddy. If you unintentionally enter “I’m feeling board,” for instance, word check might “fix” it to “I’m feeling bored.” Always review a concept before implementing it.
Example 1: As you type, your fingers fumble and you type, “I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow.” As suggested by the spell checker, “I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow.” Thank goodness you found that cunning mistake!
Example 2: What you really meant to say was, “The weather is lovely today.” The weather is beautiful today, however, according to spell check. See how it nearly pulled a prank on you? Be on the lookout!
Slow and steady wins the typing race
Imagine that your typing is as fluid as a piano playing a lovely piece. Make sure you accurately press each key by taking a moment to breathe. Think of your keyboard as a musical instrument where each keystroke contributes to the symphony of flawless writing.
Example 1: Type slowly rather than quickly: “The quick-footed fox jumps over the lazy dog.” The methodical approach reduces mistakes and improves typing accuracy.
Example 2: “My friend and I are excited about the PTE exam,” type slowly while seeing your fingers dance. Every keystroke counts, making your text a fine example of precision.
The Sneaky Culprits, homophone
The words “two,” “to,” and “too” all have the same pronunciation but perform different functions.
Words with the same sound but different meanings are called homophones. Be cautious. Verify your use of words that have similar sounds but different meanings.
The first example is “They’re going to their house.” Every “their” plays a distinct role. The first one condenses the phrase “they are,” whereas the second one denotes possession. Recognize which is which!
You’re going to enjoy this, for instance. The correct word for “your” is “you’re,” which means “you are.” To overcome the difficulties of homophones, remember these distinctions.
