My PTE Sample Essays

I have posted the list of repeated PTE essays questions in my blog before, which is the most popular post. I also posted some useful essay language here. But some people still find it difficult to use those sentences, thus they are unable to get good mark in PTE writing.

Thus, I decided to write some sample essays for those topics by using the sentences I posted. Notice in my essay that most of the sentences can be recycled for many different types
of the topics. I highlighted those sentences that you can memorize and reuse for other topics as well. You just have to be flexible with them.

I will update these essays whenever I have time to write.

Here it is....

1) Question: Do you think consumers should avoid over packaged products or is it the responsibility of producers? (Discussion Essay)

A matter of considerable controversy at present is the issue of whether it is the responsibility of consumers to avoid the over-packaged products. Some people maintain that the producers are the ones who should be held responsible for this matter.  Both sides of this contentious issue will be put under scrutiny in this essay, and my opinion as to which holds more weight will be given. 

To begin with, I will now consider what I hold to be the causes of this phenomenon. Packaging ensures that people can buy and use products when they want them, in good condition and with little wastage. However, it is undeniable that some goods have too much packaging. Moreover, the packaged goods industry is highly competitive, and packaging manufacturers are under pressure to come up with new and better packaging solutions to compete in their market. The more resources the packaging needs, the higher the cost of the products and eventually, consumers will have to bear that extra cost.

From consumers’ perspective, the packaging does not really matter for most buyers as what they care about is the quality and the price of the products. From a personal experience, I am not really concerned how the packaging actually looks as long as the item that I am purchasing is what I need. In addition, it is worth pointing out that the packaging will be a waste of money and investment no matter how good or how thick it is if the quality of the product does not meet the requirement of the consumers.

Taking these points into consideration, from a personal perspective, I am inclined to believe that manufacturers are more responsible to avoid over-packaging the goods as it would be wasting the consumers’ money for no practical benefits.

2) Question: You are given climate as the field of study. Which area will you prefer? Explain why u picked up the particular area for your study.


All over the world today, it can be observed that the issue of climate change has grown in importance over the past few decades. Therefore, if I were given climate as my field of study, I would like to study the underlying causes of this devastating global phenomenon and possible solutions to tackle this.

To begin with, a variety of reasons can be offered to explain why I would choose this particular area of study. Foremost among these is the fact that we have been experiencing the hottest 15 years on record in the last two decades. Linked to this is the fact that millions are at risk of drought, chronic water shortages, bushfire, coastal flooding and hazardous air pollution. As the above-mentioned points make it clear, it can hardly be denied that the issues of climate change must be addressed with a sense of urgency.

But what really is the proper role for individuals and institutions in addressing climate change? An immediate and natural response may be that everyone should do their part. As individuals, we can help by taking action to reduce our personal carbon emissions. But to fully address the threat of global warming, we must demand action from our elected leaders to support and implement a comprehensive set of climate solutions such as transforming our energy system to a cleaner one, placing limits on the amount of carbon that polluters are allowed to emit, reducing tropical deforestation and its associated global warming emissions.

In conclusion, It is my considered opinion that if we were to put in place some of the solutions mentioned, we would at least be on our way to solving this problem. Therefore, I would like to play my part to contribute to the solution of climate change.
