Kontribusi rata-rata Pearson: Mendengarkan ≈20% · Berbicara ≈19%Tentang jenis soal ini
Mulai masuk bagian Speaking di PTE Academic pada 7 Agustus 2025.
Kamu mendengar tiga orang membahas suatu topik selama sekitar 2.5–3 menit, hanya sekali. Lalu kamu punya 10 detik untuk bersiap dan maksimal 2 menit untuk bicara.
Nilai Content melihat seberapa akurat kamu merangkum seluruh diskusi: pendapat dan alasan tiap pembicara, serta kesepakatan atau hasil akhirnya. Pronunciation dan oral fluency juga dinilai.
Durasi mengacu pada artikel “Summarize group discussion” dari Pearson; cek panduan peserta tes terbaru dari Pearson sebelum ujian.
Catatan dan struktur ringkasan
- Saat mendengarkan: buat tiga kolom, satu untuk tiap pembicara. Cukup kata kunci: pendapat, alasan, dan perubahan pendapat jika ada.
- Topik (satu kalimat): apa yang dibahas oleh kelompok itu.
- Tiap pembicara secara bergantian: sebutkan nama, pendapat, dan alasan utamanya.
- Hasil akhirnya: kesepakatan, jalan tengah, atau hal yang belum diputuskan.
Kesalahan yang sering mengurangi nilai
- Hanya merangkum pembicara pertama, atau pihak yang kamu setujui.
- Menambahkan pendapat sendiri: tugasmu adalah menyampaikan pendapat mereka.
- Berhenti setelah 40 detik: kamu punya maksimal 2 menit, dan merangkum dengan lengkap butuh sebagian besar waktu itu.
- Tertukar siapa bilang apa: sebutkan nama tiap pembicara.
Contoh soal dan jawaban: Recording University Lectures
Diskusi
Priya: I think every lecture should be recorded and attendance should be optional. Many of us work part-time, and watching a recording at double speed in the evening is far more efficient than sitting in a hall at nine in the morning.
Tomas: I see the appeal, but when my department started recording everything, attendance dropped to about a third and the lecturers stopped asking questions because nobody was there to answer. The lecture became a monologue, which is worse for everyone.
Amara: For me the issue is equity rather than attendance. Students with disabilities or caring responsibilities rely on recordings, so removing them would hurt the people who already have the least flexibility.
Priya: Exactly, and if a lecture is only valuable because people are physically trapped in the room, that says something about the teaching.
Tomas: That's fair, and I wouldn't want to take recordings away from anyone who needs them. My worry is really about the design of the sessions, so maybe the answer is to record the content but run smaller compulsory workshops where discussion actually happens.
Amara: I could support that, as long as the workshops are scheduled flexibly and the recordings stay available to everyone rather than only to students who apply for special access.
