Band 5+: You are sitting against intreviewr and you have to welcome him

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

The response addresses the prompt by providing a polite opening; however, it deviates significantly from the specific task of 'welcoming' an interviewer. Instead of focusing on the act of welcoming the person into the room or the setting, the response transitions into a personal statement about academic motivations and past experiences. To improve, the response should focus more on the immediate social interaction required by the prompt - such as offering a seat, expressing pleasure at meeting them, or making the interviewer feel comfortable - before moving into the formal introduction or background information. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The response is logically organized and follows a clear progression from thanking the interviewer to explaining the motivation. However, the transition between the gratitude and the personal history (the mention of Germany) is a bit abrupt. To reach a higher band, use more sophisticated cohesive devices to link your personal background to the purpose of the interview (e.g., 'This desire stems from my previous experience...'). The raw transcript also shows some fragmentation ('My thoughts there') which disrupts the flow.

You use some good collocations and formal expressions such as 'sincerely thank you,' 'difficult circumstances,' and 'genuine desire.' To improve, try to avoid repetitive structures like 'I would like,' 'I truly appreciate,' and 'I'm also very grateful' in such close succession. Instead of 'gave me an idea,' use more precise academic vocabulary like 'provided me with profound insights' or 'offered me a firsthand perspective.'

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are issues with tense consistency and sentence structure in the raw version. For example, 'it also strengthens my motivation' should be in the past tense ('strengthened') to match the context of the previous experience, or phrased to show a continuing effect. The phrase 'opportunity to appear from 2008 to 2009' is semantically unclear in English; 'opportunity to live/study there' would be more accurate. Work on using complex sentence structures (subordinate clauses) more naturally to move beyond simple declarative sentences.
