Farib Shahramiri
Fariba demonstrated excellent listening skills as she was able to respond appropriately every time using suitable language for each question. Furthermore, she had very good pronunciation skills and spoke at a natural place. She ought to work on her grammar slightly however, as she made one or two mistakes with verb with and without ‘to’, for example, ‘asked to me’, also, she should try and use more idiomatic language.
Mahmood Hoseini
Mahmoodwas a pleasant candidate who spoke at a steady pace. Also, he used suitable vocabulary for his questions and attempted to answer all of them. Having said this, he needs to work on his grammar more because he tended to use incorrect prepositions and when he spoke about a past frightening situation, he did not use the past simple tense. Also, he should work on word collocations.
Narge Parand
Narges used some excellent expressions in her answers like ‘as a matter of fact’ and was able to use personal examples suitably. Furthermore, she demonstrated good listening skills as she never needed her questions repeating. She now needs to work on her grammar a little because she missed out articles and used preposition when one was not needed. Finally, she should work on her intonation more because she always used a rising intonation when a falling one needed to be used.
Maryam Rezaei
Maryam used a wide range of opening phrases and was able to talk at length for each of her questions. In addition, she used some good examples to support her answers and could comprehend her questions easily. She made a few pronunciation errors, especially with ‘w’ as she said ‘revarding’ for ‘rewarding’. Also, she used ‘to’ with verbs when one was not needed.
Sima Sohrabi
Sima was able to give detailed responses every time and did not struggle with her comprehension of each question asked. Furthermore, she used some very good expressions and supported her replies with excellent personal examples. However, she needs to concentrate on her pronunciation more as she incorrectly stressed the word ‘abroad’ and used incorrect intonation at times. Also, she had a couple of issues when it came to finding the correct word as she would pause or change her sentence, if she could not find the right word needed, so she should work on her vocabulary a little.
Alireza Alinejad
Alireza was a clear speaker who was able to speak at a natural pace. In addition to this, he used opinionative language and advanced linkers well to express his ideas. He needs to work on his pronunciation more as he mispronounced words with a ‘v’ in them and also ‘flammable’. In addition to this, he would benefit from working on his grammar a little more too because he would use past time expressions with a present simple verb and use an incorrect word form as he would use a noun instead of the adjective form.
Mostafa Mahmodian
Mostafa demonstrated a good understanding of the English language as he was able to comprehend all of his questions with ease and used advanced language in his responses, like ‘misconception’. Furthermore, he spoke in a range of tenses and could use conditional structures properly. There were a couple of mistakes made with quantifiers as he said ‘many of people’ and he used the noun form of a word when the adjective was needed, so he could work on this more.
Mojtaba Iranbastan
Mojtaba used an excellent array of vocabulary for his questions and used brilliant expressions, such as ‘push over’ and ‘keep their cool’. Also, he made little grammatical mistakes and spoke clearly. He made one or two pronunciation mistakes as he stressed ‘generous’ incorrectly and he used a ‘w’ sound when a ‘v’ was needed.
Hosei Javanmardpoor
Hosein had excellent pronunciation skills and spoke at a good pace. Furthermore, he was able to talk at length, used both personal examples and also factual information to support his ideas, and used idiomatic language well. He made one or two slight mistakes within his grammar as he would name the subject then follow it with a pronoun when only one was needed in the sentence, as he said, ‘some people that I hate them.
Mehdi Sameni(IELTS)
Mehdi was able to paraphrase his questions, which was good to see, and he used excellent opening expressions, such as, ‘to tell you the truth’. Also, he was able to speak in the present and past tense easily enough. Having said this, he needs to work on expanding his answers slightly and also incorporating more advanced language to up his mark.
Sarir Alipanah(IELTS)
Sarirwas able to give detailed answers and used comparative language and opening phrases well. Furthermore, she spoke at a good pace and had very good pronunciation skills. She does, however, need to work on her listening and vocabulary a little more, as she was not able to comprehend ‘culture shock’ and had to have one or two of her questions rephrases. Finally, she should use more idiomatic language.
