I've never thought about it before, but if I had a chance, I would set up an aviation English school of my own, because I understand how critical it is for global safety. Good knowledge of the language would eliminate all ambiguities regarding anything. The emergency situations like fire on board, engine flame out, engine failure, hydraulic system loss, or cracked windshields were just standard ones. First of all, I would find some good location in the center of the city and then I would advertise my business as the best in the city in this field with personal approaches to students and extraordinary results. I would run my business obeying all the laws and paying close attention to the needs of my clients.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the topic and provides a clear description of the small business you want to start, including its purpose and some operational details. To improve, consider elaborating more on specific aspects such as the target market, potential challenges, or how you would differentiate your school from competitors. Including more personal experience or a concrete example of why you chose this business would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow, with a clear structure: introduction, reason, examples, and plan. However, there is some hesitation at the start ('I've never thought about it before, but if I had a chance') and a slight lack of smooth transitions between ideas. The phrase 'were just standard ones' is a bit confusing and disrupts flow. To improve, use more cohesive devices like 'for instance' or 'moreover' and practice speaking without filler phrases.

Lexical Resource

Good use of topic-specific vocabulary like 'aviation English school,' 'global safety,' 'emergency situations,' 'engine flame out,' 'hydraulic system loss,' and 'cracked windshields.' The phrase 'personal approaches to students and extraordinary results' shows some flexibility. However, 'eliminate all ambiguities regarding anything' is a bit vague and could be more precise. To reach a higher band, use more idiomatic language and avoid repetition of 'I would.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with correct use of conditional structures ('if I had a chance, I would set up'). However, there are minor errors: 'If the emergency situations... were just standard ones' is grammatically awkward and should be 'The emergency situations... were just standard ones' (as in the refined version). Also, 'advertise my business at the best in the city' should be 'as the best in the city.' To improve, practice using a wider range of sentence structures (e.g., complex sentences with relative clauses) and proofread for small errors.
