PTE Speaking Practice test 9 Personal Introduction Read the prompt below. In 25 seconds, you must reply in your own words, as naturally and clearly as possible. You have 30 seconds to record your response. Your response will be sent together with your score report to the institutions selected by you. Please introduce yourself. For example, you could talk about one or more of the following: 1. Your interests 2. Your plans for future study 3. Why you want to study abroad 4. Why you need to learn English 5. Why you chose this test Question 1 : Read Aloud Look at the text below. In 40 seconds, you must read this aloud as naturally and clearly as possible. You have 40 seconds to read this text aloud: Lazy thinking: While Clichés in writing reveal lazy thinking and are to be avoided at all costs, in the graphic arts, they become essential, helping to get the message across quickly, clearly and with emotional force. This is especially true of advertising and propaganda, where the impact must be immediate. Solar energy: Not all solar energy capture devices make electricity directly. For example, steam generated from solar energy can turn turbines, which then produce electricity. And, in what could be especially useful in remote regions, solar steam can desalinate water and be used in sanitation and equipment sterilization. Sodium channel: A team of Johns Hopkins scientists study sodium channels responsible for electrical signalling innerve cells from humans and from cockroaches. Spider venom protein messes with these sodium channels-which are why venom is dangerous. The researchers then use spider venom protein to disrupt the channels and thus clarify exactly how the channels function. Tested: Researchers tested water and sediment at the Cedars. Some samples were dosed with mercuric chloride to kill any life present. Those dosed samples produced no methane. But the samples in which microbes were allowed to survive did put out methane, confirming that at least some of the methane at the springs is indeed biological in origin. Process: Chakraborty studied that process in large thunderstorm systems over the tropics, using data from geostationary and circumpolar satellites. He found that when more aerosols seed the air, like in places with lots of industrial or agricultural pollution, the same amount of water vapor gets absorbed by a larger number of aerosols. Meaning tinier than usual cloud particle size. Blockage: But that blockage can be cleared by applying an electric field of 1600 volts per centimeter, parallel to the chocolate’s flow. The effect would allow chocolatiers to cut cocoa butter by 10 to 20 percent and still not clog the pipes. The study appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Immune vigilance: The problem is that increased immune vigilance has a side effect: allergies. Our speculation is that this is some kind of trade-off. In the past, you needed to resist some kind of pathogen, and the trade-off or sacrifice you have to make is increased responsiveness to nonpathogenic allergens. So next time some of you get the springtime sniffles, blame your distant ancestor, the one with the heavy brow ridge. Question 2 : Repeat Sentence You will hear some sentences in this audio.
