Describe Image PTE

Before reading this post, I would suggest you read my earlier post on PTE Describe Image (Bar Graph).

Let me remind you once again, what you need to do in Describe Image:

• You will be given an image (bar graph, line graph, map, table, pie chart or process).
• You will have 25 seconds to study the image and prepare your response.
• After you hear a short tone, take a one-second pause and start speaking your answer.
• You will have 40 seconds to record your answer.

Simple enough! But to some students describe image questions are giving nightmares. The students are still confused about:

• What should I speak?
• When should I start speaking?
• What if the image is too complicated
• What if there is not enough information available?

Remember the purpose of Describe Image PTE is to test your speaking skills. Practically, it is not possible to describe the whole image in 40 seconds. I have written a post on how to describe an image in PTE.

In this post, we have covered repeated ‘Describe Image’ questions with sample response.
