Good afternoon! [k1: acceptable in informal correspondence, but for this task a formal greeting is more suitable] Dear ISETC Admissions Office,

I recently learned about your Program [k5: unnecessary capital letter] program and became interested to participate in it [k4: incorrect verb pattern] in participating in it.

Isolated habitat and teamwork seems [k4: missing article + subject-verb agreement] Living in an isolated habitat and working as part of a team seem to be an interesting challenge to give myself a psychological assessment [k3: unnatural / unclear phrasing] that would allow me to test my psychological resilience and improve teamwork [k3: repetition of “team/teamwork” close together] collaboration skills.

I am especially interested in the 45-day lunar mission simulation because living in an isolated habitat and working as part of a team would allow me to test my psychological resilience and develop my collaboration skills.

However, by watching the requirements [k3: wrong collocation] after reviewing the requirements, I understood [k3: less natural here] noticed that my academy background as an Computer Science specialist [k3: wrong word choice + k4: article error] academic background in computer science is not mentioned in the requirements, and I don't [k1: avoid contractions in a formal email] do not have previous research program experience [k3: unnatural phrasing] experience.

So I wanted to make sure if [k3: unnatural after “make sure” in this context] whether I am eligible to participate in the program, instead I can provide good teamwork and communication skills [k5: sentence connection problem + k3: unnatural phrasing] given that I can offer strong teamwork and communication skills.

I would therefore like to ask whether applicants with a computer science background and no previous research experience are still eligible, especially if they have strong teamwork and communication skills.

I also would like to request some of the additional information [k3: wordy / unnatural phrasing] additional information about medical and psychological assessments, the way they goes [k4: subject-verb agreement + k3: unnatural phrasing] how they are conducted and what I need to prepare for them.

I would also like to request additional information about the medical and psychological evaluations, including how they are conducted and what applicants need to prepare.

I would appreciate it if also could provide me the information [k4: missing subject + k3: unnatural word order] you could also provide information about evaluation process [k4: missing article] the evaluation process and if it's possible to do the preliminary training [k1: contraction + k3: unnatural phrasing] whether preliminary training is provided before the mission begins.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards [k5: punctuation — add a comma after the closing phrase] ,

Dear ISETC Admissions Office,

Classroom score: 28 / 40

Criterion Diagnostic level Feedback
Task achievement Mid-high You cover almost all parts of the task: you express interest, mention your computer science background, ask about eligibility without research experience, request information about evaluations, and ask about training. To score higher, you should name the 45-day lunar mission simulation more clearly at the beginning.
Language accuracy Mid Your message is understandable, but several phrases need correction: “interested to participate,” “academy background,” “watching the requirements,” “the way they goes,” and “if also could provide me.”
Tone, clarity, and organisation Mid-high The tone is polite and mostly professional. The structure is logical, but some sentences are overloaded. Clearer questions would make the email sound more confident and formal.

2. Checked TOEFL Academic Discussion Response

Checked Version

I believe that this issue should find a balance [k3: unnatural phrasing] be approached with a balance in financial allocations and the moon research [k3: unnatural phrasing + unnecessary article] public spending and lunar exploration.

I believe this issue should be approached with a balance between public spending on urgent problems and investment in lunar exploration.

As Clare said, the moon research programs helps [k4: article use + subject-verb agreement] lunar research programs help humanity inspire new technological innovations, improve the advancements [k3: tautological phrasing — “improve advancements” repeats the idea of progress] technology in robotics, AI and even medical devices that can benefit society on the Earth [k3: unnatural phrasing in this context] on Earth.

As Clare said, lunar research can inspire innovation in robotics, artificial intelligence, and even medical technology, all of which may benefit people on Earth.

However [k5: punctuation — add a comma after the introductory linker] , she is missing a point that Tymothy has said [k3: unnatural phrasing] overlooking Tymothy’s point: such research programs are very expensive, and even that [k4: incorrect linking phrase] although they provide innovations [k3: repetition of “innovation”] useful discoveries, they cost way too much [k1: too informal for academic writing] a great deal of money.

However, she overlooks Tymothy’s point that such missions are extremely expensive; although they may lead to useful discoveries, they can also take funding away from urgent social needs.

Tymothy and Clare is both right in their points [k4: subject-verb agreement + k3: unnatural phrasing] Both Tymothy and Clare make valid points, but in conclusion [k2: weak linker inside the sentence] overall the best option would be is [k4: double verb structure] would be to divide the moon program research money and the life standards money [k3: lexical repetition + k3: unnatural phrasing] government funding between space projects and improvements in living standards.

even that [k4: incorrect linking phrase] Even though it may slow down the innovations [k3: repetition] scientific progress, you can't [k1: avoid contractions in academic writing] cannot forget about the civilian problems [k3: unnatural phrasing] social problems that your country may have [k3: vague and too conversational] a country may face.

Both Tymothy and Clare make valid points, but overall the best option would be to divide government funding between space projects and improvements in living standards. Even though this may slow scientific progress, governments cannot ignore urgent social problems on Earth.

Even though this may slow scientific progress, governments cannot ignore urgent social problems on Earth.

Alternative Higher-Scoring Version

I believe the benefits of moon programs can outweigh their drawbacks, but only if governments keep their spending balanced. Clare is right that lunar exploration can lead to scientific discoveries and technological progress in areas such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and medical devices. These advances may later improve life on Earth. However, Tymothy makes an important point: space missions are extremely expensive, and governments should not fund them while ignoring poverty, healthcare, education, or climate problems. For example, a country should not build a prestigious lunar program if many citizens lack basic medical services. Therefore, I support moon exploration, but only when it is funded responsibly and does not take priority over urgent human needs.

Estimated TOEFL-style Score: 3.5 / 6

Classroom score: 23 / 40

Criterion Diagnostic level Feedback
Task achievement Mid You state a clear balanced opinion and refer to both Clare and Tymothy. You understand the central conflict between scientific innovation and urgent social spending. However, your response would be stronger if you gave one specific example, such as healthcare, poverty, education, or climate protection.
Development and logic Mid Your argument is relevant, but it is repetitive. You say several times that moon programs create innovation but cost too much. Instead of repeating this contrast, develop it: explain when funding space exploration is justified and when it becomes irresponsible.
Lexical-grammar resource Low-mid Your meaning is understandable, but there are frequent phrase-level and grammar problems: “financial allocations and the moon research,” “programs helps,” “improve the advancements,” “even that,” “would be is,” and “life standards money.”

Part 1 — Transport

Answer 1 — Checked Version

One of the reasons why I prefer public transit is that it helps me avoid traffic congestion. I live in a large city, and during rush hours [k3: understandable, but the usual general phrase is “rush hour”] rush hour, driving a car can easily turn a 30-minute trip into an hour and a half. With the metro, I know exactly how long my journey will take, which makes planning my day much easier.

So, overall, my priority is simply to get from A to B efficiently, affordably, and with as little stress as possible — and public transit delivers that for me.

In my country, private vehicles — especially cars — are by far the most widespread form of transport, but long-distance trains also play a major role for intercity travel [k3: understandable, but slightly less natural] in intercity travel.

What makes private vehicles particularly popular is the sense of freedom and flexibility they offer. People can leave whenever they want, take detours, carry heavy shopping, and travel with family without worrying about schedules or transfers. At the same time, long-distance trains are extremely popular for travelling between cities. The rail network is extensive and connects even remote areas [k1: this may be too broad unless the country really has strong rail links to remote areas]. What makes trains appealing is their reliability and comfort.

Private cars are popular because they give people freedom and flexibility, while long-distance trains remain important because they are comfortable and reliable for travel between cities.

One of the advantages is speed. For a long flight from Europe to Asia, you spend about eight hours in the air, whereas the same journey by train or ship would take weeks. Additionally [k1: wrong logical connector because you are switching from an advantage to a disadvantage] However, flying can be physically draining. Jet lag disrupts sleep schedule [k2: missing possessive] your sleep schedule, especially when crossing multiple time zones, and can be physically draining [k4: repetition of the same idea] due to no opportunity for the physical exercises [k3: unnatural phrasing] because there are limited opportunities to move around.

One major advantage of flying is speed. However, flying also has disadvantages: jet lag can disrupt your sleep schedule, and long flights may be uncomfortable because you cannot move around much.

Compared with flying, travelling by train tends to be far more comfortable and scenic, but it does have some drawbacks. One thing I appreciate in trains [k3: wrong preposition/collocation] about trains is the space — you can stretch out on a berth, walk around, or simply sit back and relax. The downside is that trains are much slower, especially for long distances [k3: understandable, but “over long distances” is more natural here] over long distances. A three hour flight can easily become a twelve hour train ride.

What I appreciate about trains is the extra space: passengers can stretch out, walk around, and relax more comfortably than on a plane.

I think transportation will be cleaner, smarter, and more shared [k3: understandable, but vague] more focused on shared mobility in the future.

Electric cars are already becoming common, and soon we'll see more self-driving vehicles on the roads. AI will also play a big role — navigation systems will get smarter and help avoid traffic jams by suggesting the best routes in real time.

Well, Temryuk is a small but historic town on the coast of the Azov Sea [k3: the standard English name is “the Sea of Azov”] the Sea of Azov.

One of the most famous landmarks here is the Mud Volcanoes [k3: too general unless this is an official name] the local mud volcanoes. They're quite rare and draw visitors who come to see the bubbling mud and even try therapeutic mud baths — it's a bit unusual but very popular with tourists.

People also visit the Temryuk Historical Museum, which has artefacts from ancient Greece [k3: slightly imprecise phrasing] connected with ancient Greek settlements. It's a small museum but surprisingly rich.

Overtourism is definitely a growing problem, especially in popular places like Venice or Barcelona, and even in Russia, places like St Petersburg can get very crowded in summer.
