× I work at Japanese news agencies and I am a journalist mainly covering the stories about science and technology and I always contact several interviews and write some articles about that topics and it's very enjoyable and stimulating because I can get in touch with cutting edge development.
✓ I work at a Japanese news agency and I am a journalist mainly covering stories about science and technology. I always conduct several interviews and write some articles about those topics, and it's very enjoyable and stimulating because I can get in touch with cutting-edge developments.
The phrase 'Japanese news agencies' should be singular 'a Japanese news agency' to match the singular subject 'I work at'. 'The stories' should be 'stories' without 'the' because it refers to stories in general. 'Contact several interviews' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'conduct' interviews. 'That topics' should be 'those topics' to agree in number and demonstrative pronoun. 'Cutting edge development' should be plural 'cutting-edge developments' to match the plural sense and use hyphenation for the compound adjective.
× I always contact several interviews and write some articles about that topics and it's very enjoyable and stimulating because I can get in touch with cutting edge development.
✓ I always conduct several interviews and write some articles about those topics, and it's very enjoyable and stimulating because I can get in touch with cutting-edge developments.
The verb 'contact' is not used with 'interviews'; the correct verb is 'conduct'. Also, 'about that topics' is incorrect; it should be 'about those topics' because 'topics' is plural and requires the plural demonstrative pronoun 'those'.
× I work at, uh, central Tokyo and, uh, it takes, uh, about 30 minutes by train from my home.
✓ I work in central Tokyo and it takes about 30 minutes by train from my home.
The preposition 'at' is incorrect when referring to a general area like 'central Tokyo'; the correct preposition is 'in'. Also, filler words like 'uh' should be omitted for clarity.
× And so this area is very uncomfortable and uh, uh, makes me concentrate on my work such as lighting or arranging the interview.
✓ And so this area is very comfortable and helps me concentrate on my work, such as lighting or arranging interviews.
The word 'uncomfortable' contradicts the intended meaning; it should be 'comfortable'. Also, 'makes me concentrate' is better expressed as 'helps me concentrate'. 'The interview' should be plural 'interviews' to match the context.
× So I want to keep this professional as long as possible.
✓ So I want to keep this professionalism as long as possible.
The word 'professional' is an adjective, but the noun form 'professionalism' is needed here to express the concept of maintaining a professional standard.
× And because our company is one of the most prestigious news agencies not only in Japan but also in Asia or the world and there are many specialists who have a lot of knowledge about the economics of foreign affairs or they are cutting edge developments, I'm very happy.
✓ Because our company is one of the most prestigious news agencies not only in Japan but also in Asia and the world, and there are many specialists who have a lot of knowledge about economics, foreign affairs, and cutting-edge developments, I'm very happy.
The phrase 'the economics of foreign affairs' is incorrect; 'economics' and 'foreign affairs' are separate fields and should be listed separately. 'Or they are cutting edge developments' is incorrect; it should be 'and cutting-edge developments' to list the areas of knowledge. Also, 'or the world' should be 'and the world' for correct conjunction.
× Yes, I welcome my workplace and be great since there are many admirable and respectable people who has a lot of experiences about journalistic methods such as interviews or writing articles.
✓ Yes, I like my workplace and it is great since there are many admirable and respectable people who have a lot of experience with journalistic methods such as interviews and writing articles.
'I welcome my workplace' is unnatural; 'I like my workplace' is better. 'Be great' should be 'it is great' to form a correct sentence. 'Who has' should be 'who have' to agree with the plural subject 'people'. 'Experiences' should be 'experience' as an uncountable noun. 'About' should be 'with' when referring to methods. 'Or' should be 'and' to list examples.
× I am very happy with surrounded by admirable party.
✓ I am very happy to be surrounded by admirable people.
The phrase 'with surrounded by' is incorrect; it should be 'to be surrounded by'. 'Admirable party' is incorrect; 'party' is not appropriate here, 'people' is correct.
× I'd like to keep working as a journalist as long as possible because there are not so many professions which can feel me, which can help me feel very exciting and stimulating.
✓ I'd like to keep working as a journalist as long as possible because there are not many professions that can make me feel very excited and stimulated.
The phrase 'which can feel me' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'that can make me feel'. Also, 'feel very exciting and stimulating' should be 'feel very excited and stimulated' to correctly express the emotions experienced by the speaker.
