Maryam Ziyaei
Maryam used excellent opening expressions, such as, ‘in my opinion’ and was able to give detailed answers for every question. Furthermore, she used a good range of phrasal verbs and she used pronouns correctly. Maryam barely made any mistakes as she had a great understanding of the English language, but there were a couple of prepositional errors.
Saeed Reza Mohandes
Saeedused appropriate lexis throughout the interview and used some brilliant phrase to put across his point of view, for example, ‘in my point of view’ and ‘as far as I am concerned’. He should work on his articles more as he sometimes omitted them from sentences, also, I would advise him to use more contractions because this will help his fluency.
Mohamad Ali Hekmat
Mohamad used examples well to support his ideas and used opening expressions well. Also, when he was asked a question that was more personal, he was able to give a much fuller response. However, for the broader questions he often had to be asked additional ones to gain more information. Also, there were a couple of errors with word order as he would put the adjective after the noun.
Ali Ghaedi
Ali used some good terms in his answers, such as, ‘I’m a thrill seeker’, and he was able to rephrase the questions. However, there were a few grammar mistakes in his oral, for instance, he would use an incorrect preposition or following an adjective with ‘to’ infinitive instead of a gerund. One example of this is when he said ‘I’m against to keep animals’.
MohmoodHoseini
Mohmood was a cheerful candidate and used some fitting vocabulary in his replies. Also, he spoke clearly and could competently answer the majority of questions. Having said this, there was a little confusion with ‘circus’ and ‘zoo’ and he made some pronunciation errors.
BehrozBozorgghalai
Behroz spoke clearly, could use contractions well in his answers and used personal examples. However, there were a lot of difficulties when it came down to understanding what each question was asking for because he had to have them repeated several times and he struggled with a lot of the key words, like, ‘endangered species’ and ‘hunting’
Mona Shirazi
Mona demonstrated a wide range of vocabulary as some of the phrases she used were of a high standard, such as, ‘all cooked up’. Also, she gave a lot of good reasons in her answers, especially if they were more specific questions. Having said this, Mona did struggle to understand the broader questions and although she knew some excellent expressions, she tended to make a few mistakes in them, for example, ‘as far as I consider’. Also, she mispronounced ‘woods’ in one of her replies as she said it with a ‘v’ sound instead of a ‘w’ one.
Amir Fakhrizadeh
Amir used an array of words in his replies which were directly relating to the questions. Also, he used a variety of phrasal verbs, like, ‘shape up’ and he could comprehend all questions immediately, which demonstrated excellent listening skills. He should work on his grammar further because there were many third person mistakes and also he mixed up adjectives with nouns, such as, ‘it help us to be punctuality’.
SimaSohrabi
Sima was a polite student and used useful phrasal verbs, like ‘worry about’. Also, she used simple sentence structures well and gave an excellent answer on technology. Having said this, there were a lot of issues with a great deal of questions as she struggled to express herself due to a limited range of vocabulary, so she definitely needs to work on this area more. Furthermore, she did not use a gerund when she needed to, so I would advise her to look over this again.
EhsanGolabi
Ehsan used idiomatic language in a couple of his responses, which was good to see, he had good grammar skills because he was able to use conditionals correctly and he could give a balanced argument. However, he made some mistakes with adverbs of frequency as he said, ‘they have sometimes party’, and he had a couple of issues with tenses as he used the past perfect tense when he ought to have used the future simple.
