C1 examiner-style comment bank

Goal

Understand how advanced speaking is evaluated through concise examiner-style observations.

Strength comments

• "Clear thesis and effective macro-structure throughout."
• "Strong conceptual distinctions and well-managed transitions."
• "Confident handling of critical follow-up with nuanced reformulation."
• "Lexical range supports precise analytical framing."

Development comments

• "Counterargument acknowledged but insufficiently integrated."
• "Conclusion repeats earlier points without full synthesis."
• "Examples are relevant but remain underdeveloped analytically."
• "Register is generally appropriate; occasional informality in formal context."

Action-oriented comment patterns

• "To improve further, expand evidence evaluation in paragraph two."
• "Add explicit condition markers to avoid overgeneralized claims."
• "Strengthen final synthesis by linking directly to initial framing question."

How to use

After practice:

1. Pick one strength comment that fits.
2. Pick one development comment.
3. Turn it into a concrete revision goal for next recording.
