Do you work or are you a student?
分數: 72.0建議: Answer more directly at the beginning and avoid fillers such as “uh” and unnecessary repetition. Use the correct article and preposition: “an MBA student at Tehran University,” not “a MBA candidate in Tehran University.” You should also explain the connection between your job and your studies more clearly. Make sure the university name is consistent throughout your answers.
範例: I’m both a veterinarian and an MBA student at Tehran University. I decided to study for an MBA because I’m passionate about learning and want to develop my management skills. I believe these skills will help me run a veterinary practice more effectively in the future.
Where do you study?
分數: 68.0建議: State the university name clearly and use the correct expressions “study at” and “well-ranked university.” Avoid too many fillers and improve the sentence structure by separating the university’s history from its reputation. Also, use a specific and natural description instead of “a great historical building” if you mean that the campus has historic architecture.
範例: I study at Tara University in Tehran. It is one of the oldest universities in Iran, and it has several beautiful historic buildings. It is also a well-ranked institution, so I’m proud to study there.
Is it a good place to study?
分數: 70.0建議: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with two specific reasons. Replace the unnatural and exaggerated phrase “most of the geniuses” with “many high-achieving students” or “some of the brightest students.” Use “the university” and “the center of the campus” instead of “the center of university,” and connect your ideas with a linking word such as “Moreover.”
範例: Yes, it is a very good place to study. Many high-achieving students attend the university, and it offers excellent facilities. Moreover, there is a large, well-equipped library in the center of the campus, which is especially useful during exam periods.
Would you like the place where you study to make any changes?
分數: 55.0建議: Answer the question directly by saying what changes you would like, rather than saying “I like it.” The phrase “Changes in the weather way” is unclear and should be removed. Correct the grammar in “during exams period” and “there is not free space,” and explain the problem and your proposed solution logically. Use “during exam periods,” “there isn’t enough space,” and “an additional library.”
範例: Yes, I would like the university to make more study space available. During exam periods, the library becomes extremely crowded, and there aren’t enough seats for everyone. Therefore, I think the university should build an additional library or create more quiet study rooms.
What are your future study plans?
分數: 64.0建議: Use the correct structure “My future study plans are to…” or “I plan to…,” and avoid repeating “skills.” Explain your plans in a clear sequence: first completing your MBA, then pursuing a PhD, and finally gaining practical experience. Replace “study them at different courses” with “take different courses to develop these skills.”
範例: My main plan is to complete my MBA and eventually pursue a PhD. Before that, I want to gain more practical experience and improve my professional skills. I also plan to take specialized courses at Tehran University because they would complement my academic studies.

Use at with the names of educational institutions when describing where someone studies.

× For example, I can say it would be crowded in during exams period.

Use enough with an uncountable noun when you mean that the quantity is insufficient. Space is normally uncountable in this meaning, so not enough space is more accurate than not free space.
