Understanding the main topic of the lecture is essential. As you listen, concentrate on the overall message rather than every detail. Ask yourself: What is this lecture mostly about? This central idea should form the foundation of your response.
Effective note-taking is key to a strong performance. Don’t try to write everything word-for-word; instead, jot down keywords, numbers, names, or repeated concepts. Use arrows, abbreviations, and symbols to quickly capture the flow of information. Your notes should guide your response without overwhelming you.
Having a mental structure helps keep your answer fluent and organized. You can follow this format:“The lecture was about [main topic]. The speaker mentioned [point 1], [point 2], and [point 3]. In summary, the lecture highlighted [conclusion].”
This ensures you address all key points clearly and confidently.
Speak naturally and avoid long pauses. Don’t focus on perfection—focus on clarity. Pronunciation should be clear and understandable, as fluency and pronunciation are heavily scored in PTE. Staying calm and consistent is vital.
Avoid repeating exact words from the lecture. Instead, use synonyms and rephrase ideas in your own words. This shows true understanding and makes your answer sound more natural.
Regular practice is essential to mastering this task. Sumlingo.com offers free PTE Re-tell Lecture practice with AI scoring and instant feedback. Practicing regularly with PTE mock tests on Sumlingo improves your listening, note-taking, and speaking skills—all in one place.
