Many of us spend the majority of our time searching for the right materials for our preparation. I thought PTE Bank Team would make it slightly easier for you by listing all of them in one place. The latest retell lecture materials and PTE predicted questions are available now, which will help you to achieve 79+ in a week.
1. Measuring Food
I’m a dietitian and I work in clinical weight-loss recently. Accurately estimating portion size is critical in research or real-world settings. For example, if you’re trying to watch your weight and you’re out to dinner and you’re presented with a bowl of food, there’s no really good way to actually estimate how much you’re eating unless you’re gonna whip some scales out of your bag. So we wanted to find a more objective way for people to quantify what they’re eating when they’re out and about. I came up with a more hands-on approach. We got people to measure the dimensions of the food using the width of their fingers and remembering back to primary school maths. We use the geometric volume formulas to estimate the weight of the food. To show you how this works, I’ve ordered a piece of lasagna. And that’s my box, a glass of wine and that’s my cylinder. And I’m feeling pretty healthy, so I order some watermelon for dessert. And that’s my wedge. So this was I know it’s seven by five, by four fingers. in the future, I see this method be incorporated into smartphone applications. So you put your finger, it’s in along with your height and your weight. And the app will do all of the calculations for you. And then you’ve got a more accurate way to estimate the portion size.

2. Innovation and Invention
He says innovation equals invention. Let me just stop here. Innovation equals invention often people mistake these two things for the sam thing. Innovation equals invention, they are not. Innovation is something that generates value for the world. It makes something faster, better, cheaper. It gives someone some great satisfaction. An invention is an idea, a technology, a patent. In and of itself, it does not generate value. So these two are not the same thing. And sometimes you see them interchange. And that’s not correct. So innovation equals invention times commercialization. So and when we look at this equation of innovation something of value, it requires a new idea and then it requires someone or some organization that is going to commercializa that idea. And to make it a value to the world.

3. Discovering the Port of Roman London
But what we are going to discuss today is how the port of London was discovered and what we discovered about it. Now if you look at the historical records of Roman London, there is only about 14 actual references to London in antiquity I contemporary references. And all those only one is in the first century, there are none at all at the second or third century. There is only one in the late third century and there is four in the fourth century. So if you are a historian trying to write the history of Rome in London, it’s really difficult. You don’t have much data, you’re going to depend on the archaeological evidence, the material evidence of the port and indeed the town to have any understanding of what happened then. And so, what we’re looking at here is how did we discover about the port of London, there is no historical documentations, no customs books, no terrorists, no idea of the taxes. We have to understand the port entirely from the archaeological evidence. So that’s what we are going to do today. So, if we move on to the next slide, I love lifestreaming. Thank you very much.

4. The Silk Road
PTE Exam Memory:
The Silk Road is not like what we thought it would be. People traveled in groups to other countries through the Silk Road, exchanged things, and then came back. There were also some side groups who went to other countries such as India, which was called the ‘Amber Route’. At that time, there was also gift changing happened on the Silk Road.
5. Science and Scientist
Key Points
Loving science is very different from being a scientist.
Scientists can do research and propose questions to find out what is true.
Science is like furniture. It’s all about evidence.
However, science fiction is not scientific because you don’t need a PHD degree to understand a science fiction.
The speaker tried the traditional way of writing, but later found that the writing
PTE Exam Memory:
In this dialog, the male is discussing about a science fiction. Science is all about evidence. He is talking about the difference between science and scientists, and he said he likes scientists rather than science. Because scientists can do research and propose questions to find out what is true. Science is like furniture.
