Write from Dictation-PTE Listening

For this task, you will hear a sentence in the form of a recording. You must simply write down/type this sentence exactly as you heard it. 

You can only hear the audio or the sentence one time. 

✅ How do you respond to this task?

  • Write from Dictation is a high scoring task so you must focus on the recording very well. 
  • Try to memorize exactly what you hear and type all the words in the sentence in the box. 
  • The recording is only of a single sentence, so if you pay attention, you will most likely remember all the words being said. 
  • If you cannot recall a word or two, you can still make out the overall sentence after applying certain English grammar and language rules. 
  • Do not type directly on the screen, instead write down what you hear on your erasable board first. Once you have written down all the words you hear, then create a logical sentence and submit that as your response. 
  • Grammar, spelling, and punctuations are extremely important in this task, so after you have typed down a sentence you are confident with, double check your spellings, whether the sentence makes grammatical sense and if your commas, question marks and full stops are placed correctly. 
  • Prior to the exam, make sure to practice Write from Dictation PTE questions daily.
