         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Ahmet’s Placement Test Writing:</strong></div><div>Hello. I’m Ahmet. I and English always have got conflict relationship but I have been working on this condition. This is always really hard for me. I tried selfwork a long time but maybe I don’t have necessary concentrate. I tried again again and again but consequence is not positive.  I search an alternative roads and I decide support for this but this condition is mess up my free time. I want use an effective english for social life and professional work. So I writed a text to you. I hope so we are work on and we can answered together.<br><br></div><div><strong>Murat’s Feedback and Evaluation:</strong></div><div>Hello! Let me introduce myself. My name is Ahmet Sarıkaya. I have always had conflicts or negative relationships with English, but I have been working on this for a long while. This has always been really hard for me. I have been trying some self-studies for a while, but it seems I don’t have enough concentration. I tried so many times, but the result hasn’t changed positively. Then, I looked for some alternative ways, and I decided to get some support to develop my English. However, this ended up with a mess and I had almost no free time. I would like to use English effectively in my social, professional and academic life. Therefore, I wrote to you on an online platform called Superprof. I hope we will work together and all my questions will be answered.<br><br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Comments:</strong></div><div>Dear Ahmet,</div><div>Your writing is good overall. You seem to have a good command of English, expressing yourself conveniently and understandably. However, selection of some words and grammar forms needs more attention. You are advised to study more vocabulary and grammar to revise and get better. For this purpose, you can read and listen at the same time. You had better read more academic contents such as scientific journal articles, news reports and essays. On the other hand, you should pay attention to both receptive (reading and listening) and productive (speaking and writing) skills equally and sufficiently. You must be exposed to English every day for some hours, which will result in better understanding and use of English ultimately.<br><br></div><div>All in all, taking all the placement tests and writing into consideration, I can clearly declare that your level of English is Lower-Intermediate (A2-B1). Therefore, in our studies, we will have materials and contents mostly in that level. I will prepare our curriculum shortly.<br><br></div><div>So, now is the time to decide when we are going to have our kick-off lesson.</div>]]></description>
