Discussing feedback with a tutor

Level B2 · Listen first, then choose a part and read it out loud.

  1. AThanks for seeing me. I wanted to ask about the feedback on my essay.
  2. BOf course. Overall it was a solid piece, but the argument lost focus in the second half.
  3. AI see. Do you mean the section on economic effects?
  4. BExactly. You introduced several new ideas there without linking them back to your main claim.
  5. ASo it would be better to develop fewer points in more depth?
  6. BYes. And make sure each paragraph begins with a sentence that connects to your thesis.
  7. AThat's really helpful. Would you be willing to look at a revised outline?
  8. BCertainly. Send it to me by Thursday and we can discuss it next week.

When it is your turn, speak after the beep (the line is highlighted).
