PTE

Although the kevel of difficulty is different for each candidate taking the test, some questions are usually considered difficult to attempt than any other questions asked on the PTE Test. The same is the case with the questions on the Reading section of the PTE Academic Exam.

The Fill in the Blanks question in the PTE Reading section is often considered difficult by most test takers. This is because there are two kinds of this question. In one fill in the blanks question, test takers are required to select the correct choice from the list present on the dropdown button present next to each blank. And in another fill in the blanks question, the test takers are required the correct choice from a box containing more words than the number of blank spaces present in the written text prompt. 

Students often struggle in defining the collocations and figuring out the vocabulary to guess the correct match for each blank space.   

Personal pronouns are used to refer to specific people or things. They can take the form of first-person, second-person, or third-person in various cases. These pronouns provide specificity and clarity in communication, allowing individuals to identify who is involved in the action or conversation.

Impersonal pronouns, on the other hand, do not refer to specific individuals. Instead, they indicate generality and anonymity. Impersonal pronouns make general statements applicable to anyone.

In addition, Impersonal Pronouns are often used in more formal contexts ("one") compared to Personal Pronouns, which are commonplace in everyday conversation.
