Repetition of the word 'forex' and 'trading' multiple times.

Try to use synonyms or paraphrase to avoid repetition. For example, instead of 'forex trading,' you could say 'currency exchange' or 'foreign exchange market.'

Overuse of simple connectors like 'and.'

Use varied connectors such as 'Moreover,' 'Furthermore,' or 'Additionally' to enhance the flow of your response.

Lack of specific examples or personal experiences.

Incomplete sentence at the end.

Ensure that all sentences are complete and convey a clear message. You could finish the sentence with a potential outcome or benefit of working with Alex.

Repetition of ideas and phrases such as 'she has good knowledge' and 'she will help me in any time on anyway'.

Try to vary your sentences by using synonyms or paraphrasing. For example, instead of repeating 'good knowledge,' you could say 'she is well-informed.'

Lack of cohesive devices to structure the response.

Use cohesive devices like 'Furthermore,' 'Additionally,' or 'Moreover' to link ideas and improve the flow of your response.

Incorrect use of tense in 'what I understand' and 'help me in any time on anyway'.

Ensure tense consistency by saying 'what I need to understand' and 'help me at any time in any way.'

Overuse of simple connectors such as 'and'.

Replace some instances of 'and' with more varied connectors like 'as well as,' 'in addition to,' or 'besides'.

The response lacks a structured storytelling approach and descriptive vocabulary.

Try to structure your response by starting with a brief introduction of Dr. Bertl, then describe your current interaction with her, and finally, explain why you would like to work with her in the future. Use more descriptive words to elaborate on her qualities, such as 'meticulous,' 'compassionate,' or 'innovative.'

Limited use of cohesive devices.

Incorporate cohesive devices such as 'Firstly,' 'Moreover,' and 'In addition' to improve the flow of your response.

There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, such as 'it's been two years we have planned' which should be 'we have been planning for two years.'

Use correct tense and structure, like 'we have been planning for two years to study abroad for our master's degrees.'

Repetition of ideas, like planning to study abroad and doing a master's degree.

Use varied language and expressions to convey the same idea without repetition. For example, 'We have set our sights on pursuing advanced studies overseas.'

Incorrect use of 'thrived' which seems out of context.

Use 'gain' or 'acquire' instead, as in 'to gain more knowledge about computer science.'

The sentence structure is somewhat fragmented and lacks cohesiveness.

Organize the response with cohesive devices and structured storytelling, such as 'Initially, we completed our bachelor's degree in computer science, and now we aim to enhance our knowledge by pursuing a master's degree in the USA.'

Repetition of ideas and phrases.

Try to introduce new information or expand on your ideas instead of repeating the same sentences. You can talk about why you admire Mr. Sebum, what specific qualities or achievements make you want to work with him, and how working with him could benefit you.

Confusing and incorrect use of phrases such as 'Olympia of Champion 5x8x8'.

Clarify what you mean by 'Olympia of Champion 5x8x8'. Use clear and accurate language to describe Mr. Sebum's achievements. For example, you might say he is a five-time champion in a specific category.

Lack of cohesive devices to connect ideas.

Use linking words and phrases like 'because', 'therefore', 'for instance', and 'moreover' to connect your ideas and make your response more coherent.

The response is too short and lacks any content related to the question.

Try to provide a more comprehensive answer by describing the person, why you would like to study or work with them, and what qualities or experiences make them appealing to you.
