Kamyab Asadpour
Kamyab had good pronunciation of words and seemed to comprehend the majority of questions, once they had been reworded. However, he had to be prompted a lot throughout the interview to gain more information from him. Also, he often listed his ideas rather than using connectors to make simple sentences.
Ali Reza Khosravian
Ali gave an in-depth description about his family using a lot of useful language, such as the age of his siblings. He was also able to understand harder questions without difficulty and used linkers well. There were a couple of pronunciations errors, particularly with the ‘v’ in ‘travel’ and also ‘raw’, so he should practise this further.
Shima Abedini
Shima struggled with the original set of questions, but when asked the more simple ones she was able to give a reasonable reply using full sentences to do so. Also, she listened carefully and spoke at a good pace. Shima made a few errors with word order and also missed out possessive pronouns on a couple of occasions.
Alireza Banazadeh
Alireza gave a good description to start concerning his family and listened well. However, he misheard some of the questions and this resulted in an incorrect answer being given. Furthermore, Alireza had quite a limited range of vocabulary as he would often answer with just one word rather than expanding on this, even when he was given extra help he still struggled.
Davoud Jafari
Davoud struggled immensely with both the complex and even the easier questions. He was able to give a reasonable introduction and had some good ideas, but when it came to putting them into sentences, he had a lot of difficulties. Furthermore, he should focus on grammar tenses and prepositions as these were his main issues when he was able to put together a sentence.
Malihe Niknejad
Malihe was a pleasant candidate who spoke clearly and listened carefully. She also used some appropriate vocabulary, but she struggled to fully comprehend all of the questions and often had to have them reworded. Once she completely understood the question being asked she would give short sentences rather than using connectors to join them together, she should therefore work on this more.
Marziyeh MostafaNejad
Marziyeh was able to use complete sentences which were often grammatically correct. She also spoke at a steady speed which made it much easier to follow what she was saying. However, she made a few plural errors, like missing off the ‘s’, e.g. ‘are teacher’ not ‘are teachers’.
Nahid Madani
Nahid was able to understand the majority of questions and used suitable phrases in her responses. There were some word order issues as she said ’11 old years and 20 old years’. Also, although she was able to comprehend most questions, she would often pause for longer periods before answering which affected her fluency.
Mohamad SadeghRasouli
Mohamad demonstrated a good understanding as he was able to use fitting vocabulary, also, he appeared to have excellent listening skills because he responded immediately to each question without having the question repeated. He should work on his pronunciation skills in particular the ‘w’ sound in ‘raw’. Finally, Mohamad made was not able to use gerunds properly, thus he should look at this further.
Samira Tasdighi
Samira spoke at a good pace and was very clear with her language. Also, she used some good structures to start her answers, was able to paraphrase her responses. There were slight errors with prepositions, so she should work on this area more.
Maryam Manian
Maryam was a confident speaker who was able to comprehend more complex questions. Furthermore, she gave examples to support her ideas and she appeared to have good listening skills as she did not need to have her questions repeated. She should concentrate on improving her grammar, especially articles and plural verbs as there were some of these errors in her spoken work.
Mohamdreza Norozi
Mohamdreza was a clear speaker andrevealed that he has a wide range of vocabulary as he used relevant language throughout. He should try to expand his answers because he often gave short replies instead of using complete sentences e.g. ‘computer’ instead of ‘I have a computer’.
Ali Khozardi
Ali used some good expressions and demonstrated a good range of vocabulary in his answers. He should try to give longer responses next time as a few were a little too short. Also, he omitted pronouns from a few of his answers.
MohamdJavad Oji
Mohamd gave a brief description of his family initially, but when he was asked further he could give a lot more information using adequate vocabulary. Also, he had very good pronunciation as he used intonation and stress properly. However, he often repeated the same word in his answer instead of switching it with a pronoun, so he should try to reduce this in the future.
Najmeh Moshtaghi
Najmeh was a pleasant student who could use descriptive vocabulary well. She used modals of ability well and her simple sentence structures could not be faulted. Having said this, on a few occasions Najmehsimply answers with a ‘yes’ which meant she had to be asked additional questions to gain more details.
Fatemeh Asnaasha
Fatemeh was a very open speaker and was able to add humour to her answers. Also, she used the present simple tense well and spoke at a reasonable speed, but sometimes had to think about her responses, which resulted in long pauses. Furthermore, she needed to be prompted throughout and on a couple of occasions when she did not understand the question spoke in Persian.
Sohila Moasomi
Sohila spoke in simple complete sentences and was able to use comparative language well. A few times in the interview she was asked ‘why’ to gain extra information and misheard some questions, which resulted in her giving an incorrect answer.
Fatemeh Shahkolahi
Fatemehcould understand the majority of questions with ease and came up with suitable vocabulary easily. However there were some issues with her word order by putting the object as the subject in a sentence, and she missed out verbs in a couple of her answers.
Laila Dashti
Laila used her descriptive skills well and did not struggle with third person verb forms. Also, she understood all her questions immediately and responded rapidly without having to pause to think. However, on a couple of occasions she named ideas instead of putting them into a complete sentence, also, she misheard a question asking for her full name and instead replied with her phone number, so she should try to listen carefully next time.
Maryam Dashti
Maryam was a clear speaker and attentive listener who could comprehend all the questions, even the harder ones. Having said this, there were a lot of mistakes with her grammar as she often needed a plural verb, such as, ‘my sister and my brother is very different.’ Also, Maryam sometimes changed her reply part way through and this meant that her speaking lost its fluency and became harder to follow.
Elham Aflaki
Elham’s speaking flowed well and he gave detailed responses. He also had good intonation and used appropriate phrases, for example, ‘it’s with me all the time’. He should focus on the order of words more as he often made errors with this and be careful with verbs and once or twice he missed them out.
