Your scenario is clear and your choice of an independent samples t-test is appropriate given that you have two separate groups. I like how you clearly explained that the participants are different, which justifies your test choice.
One suggestion is to mention whether the two groups are similar at the beginning (e.g., same proficiency level). If they are not equivalent, it might affect the validity of your comparison. You could also briefly note assumptions like normality or equal variances to strengthen your explanation.
Overall, your reasoning is logical and well presented.
