The speaker's delivery is generally clear and fluid, but there are occasional pauses that disrupt the flow. To improve, the speaker should practice speaking more consistently and work on reducing unnecessary pauses. Additionally, focusing on accurate pronunciation will help eliminate spelling errors that may arise from mispronunciations.
4.Topic Development The response is coherent and well-organized, with clear connections between ideas and sufficient support or examples. However, there is room for improvement in providing more detailed explanations and elaborating on the examples given. To enhance topic development, the speaker should focus on expanding their ideas and providing more context to better illustrate the Peak-End rule concept.
5.Language UseThe Peak and Rule Peak-End Rule (corrected for proper terminology) concept is a theory that talks about when people judge the past experience, what they can remember most was the thing that owns evokes (corrected for appropriate word choice) extreme feelings, which can make people remember for a long time. The professor takes his high school experience as an example. When he was at high school, two experiences he could remember most were first, firstly, (corrected for proper transition word) he was accidentally caught in a gunfire and second, secondly, (corrected for proper transition word) he encountered a strict teacher. These two experiences stimulated his strong feelings and also left a strong impression in his mind that making him remember for a long time for things that was very ordinary and mundane, he couldn't remember. That's what the Peak and Rule concept wants to pass on to the readers.
Revised Answer (140 words):
The Peak-End Rule concept is a psychological theory that explains how people evaluate past experiences based on their most memorable moments, which often evoke extreme emotions. The professor illustrates this concept through his high school experiences. Firstly, he recalls being accidentally caught in a gunfire, and secondly, encountering a strict teacher. Both of these events elicited strong emotions and left lasting impressions on his memory. As a result, he can vividly remember these experiences, while ordinary and mundane events fade from his memory. This demonstrates the Peak-End Rule, as people tend to judge their past experiences by focusing on the most intense moments and the end, rather than considering the entire event. By understanding this concept, we can gain insight into how our memories shape our perception of past experiences.
