Male Female

Approximately seven years ago, I graduated as a pilot from the Civil Aviation Department of Gearing American University. During my training, I gained experience flying various types of aircraft at different aviation schools. After successfully completing my training, I obtained my pilot's license and was officially qualified as a professional pilot. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, I was unable to start my career with several civil aviation companies. Currently, I am focusing on returning to aviation and continuing my journey as a pilot.

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

Task Response

The response is well-structured and coherent, providing a clear account of the candidate's professional background. To improve, consider elaborating on specific experiences or challenges faced during training or the pandemic's impact on your career plans. Adding details about your current efforts to return to aviation would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The pacing is good. Minor improvements could be made by slightly varying sentence structure to enhance fluency. For example, instead of starting multiple sentences with 'During my training...' or 'After successfully completing...', consider using more varied sentence beginnings.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is precise and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'aviation', 'qualified', and 'pandemic' demonstrate a good range. Consider using more descriptive language to paint a more vivid picture of your experiences. For example, instead of 'various types of aircraft', you could mention specific types.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is accurate and sophisticated. The use of complex sentences and varied grammatical structures is impressive. There is only one minor error ('different aviation schools' should be 'different aviation schools' or 'at different aviation schools'). This is a very strong grammatical performance.
