OMISSIONThe role "the Principal" is lost. Who the two speakers are is key information in the scenario, and examiners always check it.

✗

Thank you for your interest in enrolling your daughter at our school.

YOUR RENDITION谢谢你来我们学校。−2

DISTORTIONThe core intent "enrolling your daughter" was flattened into "coming to our school" — the information did not get across, which is a heavy deduction. Numbers, names and intent are the three biggest mark-losers in the CCL.

EXAMINER'S COMMENT

EXAMINER · AI

Fast off the mark (2.1 s) and a steady delivery — that is your strength. Every mark lost here is information completeness: one role, one intent. What to train — anchor titles, names and intent verbs in your notes; secure the information first, polish the flow second. 2.5 marks lost in this segment. It is not your language that is short, it is the information.
