Score higher in Re-Tell Lecture - PTE Academic Speaking module

Hi !

Re-tell lecture can be sometimes difficult for the students who are not accustomed to English lectures. But dont loose your heart, here are some of the tips that can work for you :-

1) Get accustomed to the accent of the English speakers. You can do this by listening to any lectures in English Language with captions. This particular tip is for those candidates who are finding it difficult to pick the right accent. Believe me keep watching and listening to such lectures and I am sure you'll benefit.

2) Make points quickly while listening to the lectures. 

3) Understand what the lecture is about. For instance : it may be related to pollution, mathematics, museum, education etc. 

4) You are also sometimes given the picture/ graph on the screen. This is quite helpful as you can atleast get a hint about what the lecture is about. If you are not able to write many points from the lecture then atleast you can speak about the information given in the picture or graph. 

5) Listen regularly to short or long lecture on You tube or similar websites. This is helpful to understand the accent.

6) If you dont have much content to speak about then slow down your pace for speaking and try to remember some of the key points and try to explain it. 

7) You can start by saying - The lecture is about ............................................................

8) You may also use - The lecturer gives an example of ....................., The lecturer gives emphasis on .............., In addition to this he/ she also talks about .....................
