Scenario 1: Job Interview

Context:
A young woman is having a job interview for an English teaching assistant position at a private school. The interviewer asks her about her experience and skills.

Conversation (excerpt):
Interviewer: Good morning, please take a seat. Can you tell me about your teaching experience?
Candidate: Good morning, thank you. Well, I have some experience helping students with English homework, and I did my teaching practice last semester.
Interviewer: That sounds good. Why do you want to work with us?
Candidate: Because I like teaching, and your school is very popular. I want to improve my skills and help students learn in a fun way.

Reflection:

In this scenario, the level of formality is appropriate for a job interview. The candidate uses polite expressions such as “Good morning” and “thank you,” which reflect respect and professionalism. The vocabulary is simple but suitable for a B1 level, demonstrating clear communication. The tone is positive and enthusiastic, which fits the context.

However, there are areas for improvement. Some expressions could be more precise and formal. For example, instead of “I did my teaching practice last semester,” the candidate could say “I completed my teaching practicum last semester.” This makes the answer sound more professional. Also, the sentence “your school is very popular” could be replaced with “your school has an excellent reputation.” That change improves the tone and register.

Grammatically, the conversation is accurate but basic. The candidate could use more complex structures, such as “I have developed strong communication skills through my teaching practice.” These changes would make her responses more fluent and academic, increasing communication effectiveness in a professional setting.

Examples and Suggestions:

Original Sentence

More professional vocabulary.

Scenario 2: Doctor’s Appointment

Context:
A woman visits a doctor because she has been feeling tired and dizzy for several days.

Conversation (excerpt):
Doctor: Good afternoon, how can I help you today?
Patient: Good afternoon, doctor. I have been feeling very tired and a little dizzy since last week.
Doctor: I see. Have you been eating well and sleeping enough?
Patient: Not really. I have been very busy at work and I skip meals sometimes.

Reflection:

This scenario represents a formal but friendly context. The patient and doctor both use polite and respectful language, showing an appropriate level of formality. The tone is neutral and professional, which fits well in a medical setting. The vocabulary is simple but clear enough for the patient to express her symptoms effectively.

The grammar is correct, and the use of present perfect tense (“I have been feeling…”) is appropriate for describing recent continuous symptoms. This shows good command of English for a B1 level.

However, there are some areas that could be improved to make the conversation more natural. The sentence “I have been very busy at work and I skip meals sometimes” could be rephrased to “I’ve been very busy at work lately, so I sometimes skip meals.” This sounds more fluent and natural. The patient could also include more specific vocabulary related to her health, such as “I’ve had headaches” or “I’ve been feeling weak.”

Improving the range of vocabulary and using linking words like “lately,” “actually,” or “because” would make the communication more detailed and coherent. These small adjustments enhance clarity and effectiveness in real-life communication with a professional.

Examples and Suggestions:

Original Sentence

Improved Version

Explanation

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I believe that in this second scenario, the level of formality is completely informal, since it is a conversation between friends in a relaxed and fun environment, such as a cultural event. Therefore, the expressions used, like “Guys, this event is so great!” or “That’s awesome!”, reflect a close, everyday, and spontaneous language typical of a youthful and friendly context.

Regarding vocabulary, it is entirely appropriate for the situation, as the characters use words related to geek culture and the anime world, such as cosplayers, hoodies, plushies, and figurines, among others. These terms demonstrate proper coherence with the cultural context and show the speakers’ interest in this topic.

As for grammar, the dialogue maintains simple and correctly structured sentences, allowing clear and fluent communication. Appropriate verb tenses are used, mainly the simple present and modal expressions like should or want to, which contribute to the naturalness of the interaction.

On the other hand, from a pragmatic perspective, the use of language reflects politeness, enthusiasm, and respect toward others, especially when the characters address Eiichiro Oda with expressions such as “Excuse me, Mr. Oda” and “We’re huge fans of your work.” This shows an adequate understanding of cultural and social norms in a communicative context, highlighting how speakers adapt their way of speaking according to the situation.

In this scenario, the conversation takes place between friends attending a Comicfest event. The dialogue shows a natural and enthusiastic tone, which fits perfectly with the informal and joyful atmosphere of a cultural celebration.

Expressions like “This event is so great!” and “I can’t believe we’re actually seeing him in person!” effectively convey their emotions and make the dialogue sound authentic.

One of the main strengths of this dialogue is the use of everyday vocabulary that reflects the context of friendship and shared interests. The sentences are grammatically correct and easy to understand. The tone remains friendly and spontaneous, which helps create a sense of genuine enthusiasm. Additionally, polite expressions appear when the characters talk to Eiichiro Oda, showing an appropriate shift from informal to respectful language.

However, one possible area for improvement could be the inclusion of a few more descriptive or varied expressions to enrich the dialogue and make it even more engaging. Also, using some connectors such as “after that” or “then” could help organize the sequence of actions more clearly. Overall, the language used is very effective for the cultural context, as it communicates excitement, respect, and friendship in a natural way.

Hello classmate Natalia, this is my feedback.

The scenario effectively uses clear, polite, and empathetic English suitable for a medical setting. Both the doctor and patient communicate naturally and respectfully, showing professionalism and care. The vocabulary is accurate and specific to the prenatal context, with correct use of terms like third trimester and prenatal exercises.

Adding linking words such as however or actually would make transitions smoother, and including short emotional responses like That’s great! or I understand would make the conversation feel warmer and more engaging.

Overall, the dialogue demonstrates excellent communicative skills and appropriate tone. With a few adjustments in grammar, cohesion, and interactional expressions, it would reach an even higher level of fluency and authenticity.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello classmate Laura, this is my feedback.

The scenario effectively represents a natural and friendly interaction between a tour guide and tourists in a travel setting. The tone is polite, warm, and profesional, creating an engaging atmosphere suitable for a guided tour. The Vocabulary is accurate and thematic, including useful terms like hike, waterfall, species, and natural hábitat, which fit perfectly within the ecotourism context.

Grammatically, the dialogue is clear and correct, using appropriate verb tenses and modal verbs such as might and can to express possibility and advice. The conversation also shows good pragmatic awareness, using polite and respectful expressions like Please don’t litter and enjoy this wonderful view, which demonstrate care for the environment and the visitors.

To improve the dialogue further, it could include more descriptive or Emotional language to enrich the experience for example, the sound of the wáter is so relaxing or the view is absolutely stunning. Adding brief cultural or historical facts about the waterfall would also make the Exchange more informative and authentic.

Overall, this scenario shows excellent communicative competence, natural fluency, and contextual appropriateness. With a few enhancements in expressiveness and detail, it would sound even more immersive and realistic for a real guided tour conversation.
