Study— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer more directly and avoid fillers such as “uh” and “umm.” Use the natural phrase “an MBA candidate at the University of Tehran,” rather than “a MBA candidate in Tehran University.” You can make the answer more effective by briefly explaining how you balance your job and studies. Also, “gain knowledge and develop skills” sounds more natural than “acquire some knowledge and skills” in this context.

Ejemplo: I’m both working and studying at the moment. I work as a veterinarian, and I’m also an MBA student at the University of Tehran. It can be demanding to balance both responsibilities, but I enjoy developing my business knowledge alongside my professional experience.

Sugerencia: Use a clear topic sentence and avoid joining several ideas with commas. The natural expression is “I study at the University of Tehran.” “One of the first ancient universities” is awkward; say “one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Iran.” “Has a great story called Building” is unclear, so describe the campus or a specific building accurately. Replace “geniuses” with “outstanding students” or “leading academics.”

Ejemplo: I study at the University of Tehran, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Iran. It is located in the city centre and has a long history. Many outstanding students and academics have studied there, which gives the university a very inspiring atmosphere.

Sugerencia: State your opinion first, then give two clear reasons. Avoid calling classmates “geniuses”; “high-achieving students” is more natural and precise. The phrase “compete and improve your abilities” should be changed to “learn from them and improve your skills.” Also, say “easy access to the library” rather than “great access to your library,” and avoid mentioning “atlases” unless they are especially relevant. Reduce repetition and fillers.

Ejemplo: Yes, definitely. It is a good place to study because it has highly motivated students, so I can learn from my classmates and improve my skills. In addition, the university has a well-equipped library with plenty of useful academic resources.

Sugerencia: Use the correct phrase “during exam periods” and say “the university becomes crowded” instead of “will be crowded” when discussing a regular situation. Organize the response with a clear change followed by a reason. Avoid repeating “for example” and fillers. You could also suggest a specific solution, such as adding study rooms or extending library opening hours.

Ejemplo: Yes, I’d like the university to provide more study space. It becomes extremely crowded during exam periods, and the central library is often full. Building another library or adding more quiet study rooms would make it much easier for students to prepare for their exams.

Sugerencia: Avoid saying “I have learned everything in university,” which sounds exaggerated and unnatural. Say that you have gained a solid foundation but now want more practical experience. “I’d like to get my PhD” is understandable, but “I’d like to pursue a PhD” is more natural. Clarify the final idea: instead of “foster more creativity to join in class,” say that you want to become more creative and participate more actively in class discussions.

Ejemplo: In the future, I’d like to build on the knowledge I’ve gained at university by developing more practical skills. I’m also considering pursuing a PhD at a well-regarded university. In addition, I want to become more creative and participate more actively in seminars and class discussions.

× So I am a MBA candidate in Tehran University.

✓ So I am an MBA candidate at Tehran University.

MBA begins with a vowel sound because it is pronounced em-bee-ay. Therefore, an is required instead of a. Use at with the name of an educational institution when referring to the place where you study.

× So I am a MBA candidate in Tehran University.

✓ So I am an MBA candidate at Tehran University.

The preposition at is normally used with the name of a university to indicate the institution where someone studies. In is not the natural choice in this sentence.

× I study in Tehran University, it is one of the first umm ancient universities in Iran and has a great story called Building in the city center.

✓ I study at Tehran University. It is one of the first ancient universities in Iran and has a great history. Its main building is in the city center.

Use at with the name of a university. The original sentence also joins two complete sentences with only a comma, so separating them makes the structure clearer.

× I study in Tehran University, it is one of the first umm ancient universities in Iran and has a great story called Building in the city center.

✓ I study at Tehran University. It is one of the first ancient universities in Iran and has a great history. Its main building is in the city center.

The original sentence contains a comma splice: two independent clauses are connected only by a comma. Use a full stop or a suitable conjunction. The phrase called Building is also incomplete and unclear, so use a complete sentence about the main building.

× There are some geniuses there, which you can compete and improve your abilities.

✓ There are some very intelligent students there with whom you can compete and alongside whom you can improve your abilities.

The verb compete requires the preposition with. The phrase alongside whom clearly shows that the students can also help you improve your abilities.

× There are some geniuses there, which you can compete and improve your abilities.

✓ There are some very intelligent students there with whom you can compete and alongside whom you can improve your abilities.

Which is not suitable for referring to people in this relative clause. Use whom after a preposition when referring to people. In speaking, you can also say people who you can compete with.

× It has a great access to your library and atlases.

✓ It also provides easy access to its library and atlases.

Easy access is the natural collocation in English. Great access is understandable, but it is less natural in this context.

× It has a great access to your library and atlases.

✓ It also provides easy access to its library and atlases.

The library belongs to the university, so its is the appropriate possessive pronoun. Your refers to the listener and does not express the intended meaning.

× It has a great access to your library and atlases.

✓ It also provides easy access to its library and atlases.

Access is generally an uncountable noun when it means the opportunity or ability to use something. Therefore, do not use the article a before access.

× Our university will be crowded during exams period.

✓ Our university gets crowded during exam periods.

When referring to recurring periods of examinations, use the plural form exam periods. Exam cannot normally modify period in the plural possessive form exams period.

× Our university will be crowded during exams period.

✓ Our university gets crowded during exam periods.

The sentence describes a regular situation that happens during every examination period. Use the present simple, gets crowded, for repeated or habitual events.

× So I like more free space to study.

✓ So I would like more free space to study.

Would like is the polite and grammatically appropriate expression for stating a preference or request. I like describes a general feeling rather than a desired change.

× Now we have a great library in the center of university.

✓ Now we have a great library in the center of the university.

Use the definite article the before university because you are referring to a specific university that has already been identified as your university.

× I have learned everything in university.

✓ I have learned everything at university.

At university is the standard expression for talking about studying or receiving education at a university. In university is not the usual prepositional phrase in this context.

× But now I like to gain some practical skills and pursue higher education.

✓ But now I would like to gain some practical skills and pursue higher education.

Would like to is used to express a current intention or desire politely. It is more appropriate than I like to when describing future plans.

× Also, I'd like to foster more creativity to join in class.

✓ Also, I would like to develop my creativity so that I can participate more actively in class.

The original structure does not clearly show the relationship between developing creativity and joining the class. Use so that to express the purpose, and use participate in class as the natural expression.

× Also, I'd like to foster more creativity to join in class.

✓ Also, I would like to develop my creativity so that I can participate more actively in class.

The natural phrase is participate in class, not join in class, when you mean taking part in classroom activities. The preposition in follows participate.

× Also, I'd like to foster more creativity to join in class.

✓ Also, I would like to develop my creativity so that I can participate more actively in class.

Actively is an adverb that correctly modifies the verb participate. It explains how you want to participate in class.
