# PTE WFD #13: Global Socioeconomic Progress

Write from Dictation #13 - Level 1 - Feeds Writing + Listening

> You will hear a sentence. Type the sentence in the box below exactly as you hear it. Write as much of the sentence as you can. You will hear the sentence only once.

## Answer

Poverty exists everywhere, but the situation has improved.

## Explanation

Spell "poverty," "exists," and "situation" carefully. The ending of "exists" is hard to hear before "everywhere." Write "has improved" with the -ed ending. Keep "but the" in the middle of the sentence, since both words are weak.

## Hints

- Focus on the contrastive conjunction used to link the two parts of the sentence.
- The sentence begins with a noun describing a state of financial hardship and ends with a verb indicating progress.

## Transcript

Poverty exists everywhere, but the situation has improved.
