The main idea is identifiable but needs polishing. Suggest: 'After leaving 60 Minutes amid a shakeup, Pelley and Alfonsi are now teaching the next generation of journalists at Columbia.' Note also that Alfonsi's contract was not renewed, so 'fired' is not fully accurate for both journalists.
The main-idea sentence for the Cambridge article is accurate: PhD funding is dropping and this threatens the future of research and the UK. The word bank definitions are uneven: 'shakeup' is correct; 'mentor' is too thin; 'privilege' is inaccurate in context. Suggest: 'mentor β an experienced adviser who guides someone'; 'privilege β a special honour or opportunity.'
The student answered all three articles' discussion questions. Responses show genuine reasoning, such as recognizing that mergers have financial benefits but also social costs, and asking a personal career question to a journalist. However, several points are underdeveloped and contain translation-like phrasing. Suggest expanding each answer with one more piece of evidence from the article and checking grammar.
This answer is off prompt. It cites evidence from the 60 Minutes article, but the question after Q3 asks for evidence from the super-university article, such as the warning that 24 universities could go bankrupt or that 45% of higher education providers might be in debt by 2025-26. Rewrite: 'The article supports its argument by citing the Office for Students' warning that 24 universities could go bankrupt and that 45% of providers may be in debt.'
The opinion is clear and uses the article's idea that Pelley and Alfonsi have rich investigative experience. The argument would be stronger with exact numbers: Pelley spent 37 years at CBS News, and Alfonsi spent more than a decade at 60 Minutes. 'Something normal teachers can't do' is informal; suggest: 'something ordinary textbook-based teaching cannot offer.' The point about mentoring the next generation is strong and matches Alfonsi's stated desire to work with young journalists who ask tough questions.
Date I. Journalists beceme Teachers. 1. I think so. Both Alfonsi and Peley have rich experiences in journalism, spending more than 10 years reporting news, so they could teach students with vivid examples, from their life in stead of just principles on the book - something normal teachers can't do.
