Here are Top 3 frequently asked Summarize Spoken Text questions in recent PTE Academic test (August 2020).

1. The Big Bang Theory

One of the most amazing things in the speaker’s life is studying cosmology. Studying cosmology is the most amazing thing for the speaker because the universe is mysterious. Scientists previously believed the big bang happened 10 to 20 billion years ago. However, a more precise measurement indicates the universe is 13.8 billion years old (instead of 14). (And has kept changing ever since.) Which is perfectly matched the university is little older than the oldest star (which has 13 billion years old), the Big Bang theory. Even when the universe begins is known) People still need to understand how the big bang happened and how the universe works. And know about the future.

2.Einstein

For thousands of years, philosophers and astronomers and thinkers of all sorts have imagined that the universe, the space around us was rather like this floor in front of us. It was fixed and unchangeable and thins happen on it, just as people walk around. So the stars, the comets, and the planets, and the other heavenly bodies moved around and traced down their parts on this completely unchanging stage of space. In the 20th century, as the result of Einstein’s work that view of the universe was completely transformed. We began to understand that there was no absolutely fixed stage of space at all on which all celestial notions were played out. But in some sense on the larger scale in the universe, the space itself was in the state of a continuous dynamic change. That was a prediction made by Einstein.But it wasn’t Einstein Harold the owner of making the discovery that our universe was really like that.

3. Management and Leadership

The Education Leadership Initiative was started by Dean Bob Joss, of Stanford Graduate School of Business. He talked a lot about the importance of education leadership. Education leaders need to be dynamic and entrepreneurial change agents. Managing is not enough — increasingly leaders must rise to the challenge of changing their organizations through innovative, problem-solving strategies. So we are combining forces from our School of Education and School of Business to support the development of management skills and leadership capacity for current superintendents and other central office leaders. The School of Education will focus on learning while the School of Business will focus on management. Now many institutes are providing education leadership learning opportunities, for profit or non-profit. We want to make sure that here at Stanford, we are not only delivering the services but with good quality. The program incorporates case-studies and research-based presentations, discussions, and exercises. Participants also collaborate and build relationships through group work. However, they must realize that it is their own responsibility to achieve and accomplish – what others can do does not indicate what you are capable of.
