Ali Reza Pakyari
Ali was a very clear speaker who was able to enunciate well. In addition, he used an excellent array of words and was able to use first conditional properly and barely made any grammatical errors. He would benefit from using opening expressions more and using more idioms to heighten his fluency.
Aida Hojabri
Aida used an excellent range of lexis in each of her answers and was able to use opening and descriptive expressions perfectly. Furthermore, she could comprehend more complex structures and reproduce them perfectly. She now needs to work on her pronunciation as she tended to say a lot of her sentences with a rising intonation every time which affected her fluency. Also, she pronounced ‘ts’ as ‘ds’ a few times.
Mandana Madani
Mandana used excellent expressions in her answers and could speak in various tenses well. Also, she had good pronunciation skills as she stressed words correctly throughout. However, nearer towards the end of her interview, she started to struggle with some of the questions and this resulted in her giving either inappropriate responses or quite brief ones as what had happened when asked about ‘ecotourism’.
Paria Shabani
Paria used opening phrases well and was able to alternate them for each reply; also she supported her ideas with examples. Furthermore, she demonstrated very good listening skills because she was able to comprehend and respond to each question automatically. There were a few occasions when she used the noun form of a verb, for example ‘ they are option’. Also, she should try to use more idiomatic language.
Sepehr Farzan
Sepehr use opinionative language and opening expression well in his answers. Also, he spoke at a good pace and clearly and could understand all of his questions. Having said this, he needs to vary his vocabulary somewhat more, especially when describing because he tended to describe different thing/places as ‘beautiful’. So he should work on using synonyms.
Farhad Ostovar
Farhad demonstrated good lexical knowledge as he was able to use advanced language which suited each question. In addition, he spoke at a natural pace and could comprehend various grammatical structures whilst responding appropriately. However, he mispronounced ‘chosen’ on several occasions and once or twice gave quite a brief reply to some questions, so he should try to expand all of his answers.
Behnaz Yaseri
Behnaz was able to give very descriptive answers and always gave in-depth answers. Furthermore, she supported her ideas well with suitable examples and was able to use phrasal verbs correctly. Having said this, she should focus on her listening a little more because when she was what life would have been like without cars, she responded with an answer on the best invention in history. Also, she tended to mix up her conditional structures.
Maryam Dozandeh
Maryam used adverbs well, especially when adding emphasis. In addition, she used idiomatic language marginally. However, she was not able to comprehend third conditional questions and missed out auxiliaries when using the passive voice. So she should work on her grammar further.
Mohamad Javad Fathi Poor
Mohamad used excellent examples in his answers and use opinionative language well. Furthermore, he was able to understand his questions easily enough and could answer without hesitation. However, he needs to work on his pronunciation a little because he would pronounce his ‘vs’ as ‘ws’. Also, he could have expanded slightly more on one or two of his questions as there were one or two which appeared to be quite brief.
Mohamd Shakibamanesh
Mohamd used a wide range of vocabulary and demonstrated a good level of understand of English grammar as he was able to response using lengthy sentences which rarely had any mistakes grammatically. Having said this, he did make a couple of mistakes with auxiliary verbs as he said ‘that is improved’. Also, he did not know what ‘invention’ meant and had to have that question rephrased.
Arman Dehghani
Arman was able to use a variety of structures including conditionals well. Also, he used appropriate vocabulary which fitted his questions correctly and he spoke at a steady and natural pace. He should try to use more examples and give extra information because there were a few times when he gave quite brief responses for this level. In addition, he did not follow some transitive verbs with an object.
Mahmod Hoshmandi
Mahmod demonstrated good listening skills as he was able to comprehend all of his questions easily enough. Furthermore, he was able to speak in full sentences. Having said this, he needs to work on his grammar and pronunciation more as he did not always enunciate his words properly or got the order mixed up, which made it harder to follow his train of thought. Also, he should try to use more opening expressions.
Ehsan Jafaripoor
Ehsan used a range of opening expressions and opinionative phrases well and he used idiomatic language appropriately. He also used a lot of personal examples in his answers. Having said this, he often started to answer his question accurately, but tended to go off on a tangent and end up speaking about a subject which was not directly relating to the question at hand, which meant that many of his answers were not accurate enough.
