Erfan Omidi
Erfan could use simple sentences well in his answers and spoke clearly throughout. Also, he used the present simple tense correctly. Having said this, he made some grammatical errors as use incorrect prepositions, such as, ‘in Sunday’; and he tended to use ‘and next… and next’ instead of varying his sequencers.
Kamyab Asad Pour
Kamyab spoke at a steady speed and could talk about which sports he liked and disliked well. Furthermore, he was able to use frequency adverbs appropriately. However, he needs to work on his listening skills more because he often miscomprehended many questions, which resulted in an incorrect response. Also, he should work on the past tense further as when speaking about a past action, he used a present verb.
Alireza Ghasemi
Alireza gave a good introduction and was able to form simple sentences well. In addition, he used suitable vocabulary throughout and was able to speak about himself competently. Having said this, when asked broader questions, he struggled to answer appropriately, so he should work on this more. Furthermore, he used incorrect prefixes, such as, ‘unformal’ and sometimes he used incomplete words, like ‘mount’ instead of ‘mountain’.
Soheila Dabiri
Soheila also gave a detailed introduction and used appropriate language when asked a variety of questions. Furthermore, she could comprehend all of the questions well and she had some good ideas when answering them. Although she had good ideas, she often named them rather than putting them into complete sentences, so she should work on using linkers more. Also, she needs to be careful with the word order as once or twice she put the adjective after the noun.
Kamran Eslamlo
Kamran spoke clearly and had good listening skills as he rarely needed his questions repeating. Also, he use descriptive language well and used suitable vocabulary in his replies. However, he needs to work on the present simple tense further as he repeatedly added an auxiliary verb when speaking about his daily routine, for example, ‘I’m go to work’. In addition, he should try to use sequencing words next time to improve his fluency.
Fataneh Mohamad Pour
Fataneh gave a very descriptive introduction of herself and was a polite speaker of English. In addition, she use present simple sentences correctly in her answers and could talk at length about her routine. She needs to work on using modal verbs more as when asked about possible vacation problems she missed them out when she ought to have used ‘might’ or ‘could’.
Neda Nematolahi
Neda spoke at a good pace and could use a variety of tenses well in her responses. Also, she used a wide range of vocabulary and had excellent pronunciation skills. However, when asked about what she typically does in the evening, she used ‘would like’ structures instead of using the present simple tense to talk about her routine.
Parisa Eslamlo
Parisa could use quite complex structures in her answers, such as using the passive voice. Furthermore, she was able to use numerous tenses to suit each question. Having said this, she does need to work on her grammar further as she made some prepositional errors, such as, ‘good at the garden’ instead of ‘good in the garden’; and she mistakenly used ‘has/have’ when it should have been the verb to be.
Mohamad Sadegh Rasouli
Mohamad was a confident speaker and selected appropriate verbs throughout. In addition, he used emphasising words correctly and was able to extend his answers well by using examples. However, at times, he made a few errors with verb patterns as he often missed out a verb after ‘to’, for example, ‘I like to Eiffel Tower’.
Najmeh Mojab
Najmeh was a clear confident speaker of English who spoke in full sentences throughout her interview. Also, she used frequency adverbs accurately and used modal verbs where necessary. However, at times, she gave quite a brief response and had to be asked ‘why’ to gain further information. So she should work on ways to extend them in the future.
Alireza Dehghani
Alireza spoke in complete sentences and used an excellent array of vocabulary in his responses. Furthermore, he could talk at length as he was able to give examples to support his answers and he demonstrated excellent listening skills because he could comprehend all of the questions with ease. He should now work on his pronunciation further as he tended to use a ‘w’ sound with words beginning with a ‘v’ for example, when he said ‘vegetables’ it came out as ‘wegetables’.
Hosein Danesh
Hosein was a quite speaker who seemed to be slightly nervous in his interview. He did, however, demonstrate some good ideas in his responses and he had good listening skills because he could understand the majority of questions. Though he needs to use linkers more to help him form complete sentences and he often missed the ‘s’ off third person verbs.
Elham Aflaki
Elham gave an excellently detailed introduction and this continued with extremely detailed responses. She was also able to use a variety of tenses correctly, including the past simple tense, and she demonstrated a wide range of vocabulary in her answers. Having said this, there were a few pronunciation errors, including ‘hours’, ‘pants’ and ‘suits’, so she should work on this more. Finally, Elham should work on sequencers more as she used ‘and’ when ‘then’ was actually needed.
Mohamd Ashna
Mohamd was an enthusiastic speaker who was able to talk at length throughout. Furthermore, he used conditional structures correctly and had good listening skills because he was able to comprehend all the questions easily enough. He made a couple of prepositional errors, including, ‘in weekend’ rather than ‘at’ and ‘hard to me’ instead of ‘hard for me’. Also, he should watch his verb patterns as there were also a couple of mistakes with this too.
