✓ I work for a Japanese news agency but at the moment I'm studying at a university in the UK because my company ordered me to gain a lot of knowledge about climate change and environmental issues.

The phrase 'Japanese news agency' requires the indefinite article 'a' because it is a singular, countable noun not previously mentioned. 'An university' is incorrect because 'university' begins with a consonant sound 'yoo', so the correct article is 'a university'. Also, 'studying in a university' is less common than 'studying at a university' which is the correct preposition for institutions. Additionally, 'because of my company ordered me' is incorrect; it should be 'because my company ordered me' without 'of'.

The student mixed past and present tense incorrectly. Since the student currently works there, 'worked' should be 'work'. 'It's takes' is incorrect; it should be 'it takes' (remove the contraction 'it's'). 'I can easily reached' is wrong; modal verb 'can' should be followed by the base form 'reach'. Also, 'reached to' is incorrect; 'reach' does not require 'to'.
