× I'm walking at the tax office.

✓ I work at the tax office.

The student used 'I'm walking' which is the present continuous tense of 'walk', meaning to move on foot. The intended meaning is to state their occupation, so the simple present tense 'I work' is appropriate here.

× I'm a investigator.

✓ I'm an investigator.

The article 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound. Since 'investigator' begins with a vowel sound, the correct article is 'an'.

× For tax evasion.

✓ I investigate tax evasion.

The phrase 'For tax evasion' is a fragment and lacks a subject and verb. It should be a complete sentence explaining the job, such as 'I investigate tax evasion.'

× I'm working at tax office at Skiji station near hospital.

✓ I work at the tax office near Skiji station, near the hospital.

The present continuous 'I'm working' is less appropriate for a permanent job; simple present 'I work' is better. Also, articles 'the' are needed before 'tax office' and 'hospital' for specificity.

× I'm working at tax office at Skiji station near hospital.

✓ I work at the tax office near Skiji station, near the hospital.

The definite article 'the' is required before 'tax office' and 'hospital' to specify particular places.

× Yes, it's good price to work because uh I can come, I can go there by train uh about four half minutes.

✓ Yes, it's a good place to work because I can come and go there by train in about four and a half minutes.

'Good price' is incorrect; the intended meaning is 'good place'. Also, 'four half minutes' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'four and a half minutes'. The sentence also needs conjunctions for clarity.

× Uh, it's convenient for me to.

✓ It's convenient for me, too.

The word 'to' is incorrect here; the correct word is 'too' meaning 'also'.

× Would you like the place where you work?

✓ Do you like the place where you work?

The examiner's question is correct, but the student's response uses 'I'd like to' which is awkward here. The student should say 'Yes, I like the place where I work'.

× Yes, I'd like to. I'd like the place where I'm working because it's convenient for me to commute to there.

✓ Yes, I like the place where I work because it's convenient for me to commute there.

'I'd like to' implies desire to do something, but the question is about liking the place. Also, 'commute to there' is incorrect; 'commute there' is correct.

× It takes about 45 minutes.

✓ It takes about 45 minutes.

This sentence is correct and needs no correction.

× I'm planning to transfer to Malaysia and.

✓ I'm planning to transfer to Malaysia, and

The sentence is incomplete; it should be connected to the next clause with a comma and conjunction 'and'.

× I'm going to study accounting course because I want to.

✓ I'm going to study an accounting course because I want to.

The noun 'accounting course' requires an article 'an' before it. Also, the sentence is correct in tense but needs the article.
