Sample feedback on a timed response
Some people prefer to study alone; others prefer to study in a group. Which do you prefer, and why? (45 seconds)
Your response (transcribed)

Feedback
- Topic development: a clear opinion and a specific example. Add one sentence that ties the example back to your opinion.
- Language use: “prefer study” should be “prefer studying” or “prefer to study”.
- Delivery: you paused for three seconds before the example. A set phrase like “For instance, last semester…” keeps you moving.
- Timing: you finished at 38 seconds. Use the time left for a one-sentence wrap-up.
