Currently, I'm a student at Foreign Trade University. My major is international business. At school, I study logistics, marketing, sales, and other aspects related to the economy. I also learn soft skills like communication, presentation, and teamwork.
Your ideas follow a clear sequence: you introduce your university and major, list subjects you study, then mention soft skills. This gives the answer a logical shape, though the final two sentences are mainly lists rather than developed explanation. For practice, give this answer in 30 seconds, then repeat it in 25 seconds while keeping the same information and adding one brief explanation of why one subject interests you.
You use relevant terms such as “international business,” “logistics,” and “teamwork,” and the vocabulary is easy to understand. The answer relies on general verbs like “study” and “learn,” and “aspects related to the economy” is broad. To add precision without making the answer sound memorised, replace one general phrase with a more specific description of the subjects you named, and use a natural verb such as “develop” for soft skills.
The sentences are grammatically clear, with accurate structures such as “My major is international business” and the coordinated list “logistics, marketing, sales.” You also use a present simple form consistently for your studies. The grammar is mostly straightforward, so there is limited variety in sentence structure. As an optional next step, connect the major and course details in one sentence while retaining the clear list.
This text-only response does not provide evidence for a pronunciation score, and this practice guide is not an assessment of a recording. Practise word stress in “international business,” “logistics,” and “communication.” Group the answer into thought groups: “I’m currently a student at Foreign Trade University / My major is international business.” Record yourself reading it, then check that the key subject words are clearly stressed and the pauses separate ideas rather than individual list items.
