Student provided detailed answers when defining terms like Real GDP and GNI, demonstrating effort in studying definitions. 在定义实际GDP和GNI等术语时，学生提供了详细的答案，表明努力学习了定义。

Language Comprehension and Mastery 语言理解和掌握

Initial comprehension of the complex mechanism of Premium Bonds required teacher re-explanation and visual aid referencing. 对溢价债券复杂机制的初步理解需要老师重新解释和参考视觉辅助。
Student demonstrated strong numerical comprehension, correctly applying formulae for percentage change and calculating real GDP/Index numbers with minimal prompting after clarification. 学生展示了很强的数字理解能力，在澄清后只需很少的提示就能正确应用百分比变化的公式并计算实际GDP/指数数字。

Language Output Ability 语言输出能力

Oral: 口语：

Oral responses were generally clear, though sometimes hesitant when recalling abstract economic principles (e.g., PPP explanation). 口头回答总体清晰，但在回忆抽象的经济原则（例如PPP解释）时有时会犹豫。
Student was quick to respond and articulate calculations during the quantitative sections. 在量化部分，学生反应迅速，能够清晰地阐述计算过程。

Written: 书面：

Not applicable (Session was focused on oral Q&A and calculation demonstration).

不适用（本次课程重点是口头问答和计算演示）。

Student's Strengths 学生的优势

Strong aptitude for quantitative economics problems (calculations, ratios, index numbers). 对定量经济学问题（计算、比率、指数数字）有很强的天赋。
Ability to self-correct calculations and follow complex step-by-step instructions when working through exam questions. 在解决考试问题时，能够自我纠正计算并遵循复杂的循序渐进的说明。
Good recall of core definitions once the context was established (e.g., Real GDP). 一旦确立了背景（例如实际GDP），就能很好地回忆起核心定义。
