The podcast explains the "Respond to a Situation" question type recently introduced to the PTE Academic speaking module, which mirrors a task already present in the PTE Core test. It emphasizes that, unlike other PTE Academic sections requiring formal English, this question type necessitates a more casual and informal response. The speaker details the question format, including the 15 seconds provided before the recording plays and the 10 seconds after, and suggests using this time to prepare answers. The podcast highlights the importance of addressing the situation effectively, communicating with ease and flexibility, and maintaining an appropriate tone. It also advises test-takers to use the prompt to their advantage by paraphrasing and speaking for 30-35 seconds while maintaining fluency and pronunciation.
