Founder and CEO

Message from our Founder and CEO

International students contribute about $32 billion to the Australian economy every year and their value to the economy is
soaring every single day. It is extremely important that international students in Australia genuinely feel welcomed and
they truly experience Australia in its richness and diversity. The English Language plays the most significant
role in making this happen.

My journey from being a struggling international student to becoming an entrepreneur has been very exciting yet at the
same time a journey of discovery and learning what it takes to be highly successful in Australia. I see a part of my reflection
in every international student I see, and I take it as my responsibility to positively transform their lives.

I am completely committed to contributing my skills, knowledge and expertise to international students so that they
experience the best of Australia and make their dreams come true.

What is PTE?
PTE stands for Pearson Test of English, which is a computerized English proficiency test, accepted by the DHA and
all the universities of Australia and New Zealand. This test has many unique advantages such as: -

• Artificial Intelligence – This basically means that there is no human involvement, when it comes to the assessment
of the test-takers’ English proficiency. The exam is checked by the algorithm which mimics the human marking.

• Unbiased Scoring – As there is no human involvement and the test is assessed by the AI, there is no chance of
biasness and it gives the true picture of the English skills of the examinee.

• Flexible Testing and Fast Results – The test dates are easily available in almost all the countries and the declaration
of results for 90% of the students takes place within 24 hours. The maximum timespan for declaring the result is 5
business days. Hopefully, this has given you a broad idea of the PTE Academic exam and what is within it. If you
want to achieve the highest possible marks on your PTE exam, enroll in our PTE Preparation Course. As an informed
EnglishWise student, you will have an upper hand over the others.

PTE Test Format

Part 1: Speaking and Writing

minutes to 93 minutes in time. You have to manage your time well if you want to score well in your PTE. To achieve
great results, you should be able to present your English-speaking skills in an academic environment with accuracy in

blanks are some of the several question types used in this section which test your response to the varied usage of the
English language.

Part 3: Listening
Primarily based on video and audio clips, the third section lasts for about 45 to 57 minutes on an average. In this

One of the most conspicuous trends of today's world is the colossal upsurge in how large shopping malls are taking
over small businesses. There is a widespread worry that this will only lead to a myriad of concerns in society. In my
opinion, large shopping malls have more negative impacts than positives in society.

On the one hand, critics may point out that one of the most significant benefits of large shopping malls is the
variety of products and services. For example, customers unlike in the past now have more products and services as
shopping malls have many brands under one roof.

On the other hand, there are a number of arguments in favor of my stance. One of the most preponderant ones is
that large shopping malls have some negative consequences for the community in various ways. Firstly, people
waste more time and money because they get roped into buying things they do not need. According to “Times
magazine December 2017 edition”, the proportion of people wasting their time and money in large shopping malls
have increased from 10 per cent to 90 per cent today. Secondly, a large portion of the small local business are
suffering because large shopping malls has more features and facilities.

Lastly, in my opinion, the government of Australia is taking a great initiative in educating its customers on the
impact of large shopping malls taking over small businesses. Customers are being encouraged to spend a significant
portion of their time in shopping according to their needs in order to compensate for the problems.

In view of the arguments outlined above, one can conclude that despite having some benefits, the drawbacks of
large shopping malls in the society are indeed too dire to ignore.
