Student:Eistert Role B
Eistert, thank you for attending our lesson. It was great working with you and I hope to see you soon for another lesson.

OVERALL
Strength:
Adjectives are the only words that can describe or modify nouns,
and they can't describe or modify anything else.
You did very well using adjectives today when you said ‘sometimes I feel this job is very engaging’.
Areas for improvement:
Please pay attention to your usage of countable and uncountable nouns.
We don’t say: ”every staff hardworking”, we say: “every staff member is hardworking”.
We use quantity expressions such as "member" to refer to one or more quantities of an uncountable noun.
