These are the useful sentences that I collected in my 7 months of preparation from many books, websites and my two English classes with British Council. They are for IELTS essays which have a few types. But for PTE, most of the essays are just opinion essays. So you can only refer to Opinion Essays part hat is No 1.
Use these sentences and you will definately get written discourse minimum 80. And since the vocabulary and grammer of these sentences are great, you will score high for these secitons which will help you in overall score for writing.
Good Luck. If you appreciate it or have any questions, leave a comment. Thank you.
------------------
1. Opinion
An 'opinion' question
asks for your view, not the views of other people, and you don't have to give
both sides of the argument. Just make your opinion clear in the introduction,
then explain it in the rest of the essay.
2. Discussion + opinion
(For and Against or Advantages and Disadvantages)
A 'discussion'
question requires you to write about both sides of the argument, and you should
write a similar amount for each view. If the question also asks for your
opinion, you don't need an extra paragraph. Just make it clear in the
introduction and conclusion which of the two views you agree with
3. Problem + solution
Type 3 is easy. Simply write a paragraph explaining the problem(s) and a
paragraph explaining the solution(s). Some questions ask about 'causes' or
'effects': these would be part of the 'problem' paragraph.
