OET Templates — Proven Writing & Speaking Structures

Templates give you a pre-built structure for common tasks so you can focus your cognitive energy on content and language quality rather than organisation.

OET Writing — Referral Letter Template

Opening: "I am writing to refer [Patient Name], a [age]-year-old [gender] who presents with [main complaint]."
Background: "The patient has a history of [relevant medical history] and is currently taking [medications]."
Current condition: "On assessment, [relevant findings]. Recent investigations showed [test results]."
Request: "I would appreciate [specific request — review / further management / specialist opinion]."
Closing: "I look forward to your assessment and recommendations."

How to Use Templates Effectively

  • Memorise the structure, not the exact words — adapt the language to each specific task
  • Practise each template at least 10 times with different topics to make it automatic
  • Never use the same example in every essay — vary your evidence
  • Adjust vocabulary level to match the academic register required by the exam

Important: You cannot bring written templates into the exam room. The goal is to internalise the structure so it comes automatically under time pressure.
