Do you work or are you a student?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar: give a clear topic sentence, correct verb tenses, and one or two specific supporting details. Avoid redundant phrases and limit to 2–3 sentences. Use linking words if you add details (for example, "and" or "because").
Example: I’m a master’s student at Hiroshima University, studying Civil and Environmental Engineering. I started my program in 2025, and I enjoy it because I’m interested in sediment transport and experimental research.
Where do you work?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Answer directly and correct grammatical mistakes. Combine related ideas into a single coherent response and be specific about your research. Use linking words (e.g., "so", "and") to connect sentences and avoid repetition.
Example: I don’t work in a company; I’m a master’s student at Hiroshima University, so I focus on my research. My project is an experimental study of erosion processes in reservoirs, and I conduct lab and field experiments to understand sediment dynamics.
Is it a good place to work?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Clarify what "place" refers to (university or company) and give an opinion with reasons. Use one clear topic sentence followed by a supporting reason and an example. Correct awkward phrases and reduce repetition.
Example: Yes, my university is a good place to work for research because it has well-equipped laboratories and supportive supervisors. For example, the experimental lab provides the instruments I need, which helps me progress quickly.
Would you like the place where you work?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Provide a direct answer (yes/no) and one or two specific reasons. Use correct grammar and more precise vocabulary (e.g., "facilities" instead of "have everything"). Remove filler words and repetition.
Example: Yes, I like working in the experimental building because it has all the facilities I need for my research, such as flow tanks and measurement instruments. This environment helps me learn new experimental techniques and collaborate with colleagues.
What are your future work plans?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: State your future plans clearly with one topic sentence and specific steps or goals. Use correct future or present continuous tense and give concrete details about what you will do next (e.g., complete experiments, publish a paper, or seek a PhD).
Example: My main plan is to extend my current research on sediment transport by completing additional experiments and publishing the results in international journals. After my master’s, I hope to pursue a PhD or work in a research institute to continue this line of study.
× I am a student. I study in Hiroshima University from 2025.
✓ I am a student. I have been studying at Hiroshima University since 2025.
The original sentence uses simple present 'study' with a time expression indicating a starting point (from 2025). English requires present perfect continuous or present perfect with 'since' for actions that started in the past and continue to the present. Also use preposition 'at' with universities and 'since' instead of 'from'. Suggestion: use 'have been studying at' or 'have studied at' with 'since 2025'.
× Now I am a masters student in civilian environmental engineering program.
✓ Now I am a master's student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering program.
Missing apostrophe in 'master's' (possessive form), incorrect program name wording and missing definite article. Use capitalized proper noun 'Civil and Environmental Engineering' if it is the department name. Include 'the' before 'Civil and Environmental Engineering program'. Suggestion: write 'a master's student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering program.'
× I study in Hiroshima University from 2025.
✓ I have been studying at Hiroshima University since 2025.
Universities take the preposition 'at' not 'in'. Also 'from 2025' should be 'since 2025' with present perfect to show continuation. (This duplicates a previous correction but addresses the preposition error specifically.)
× I like this subject very much.
✓ I like this subject very much.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no singular/plural issue. Included to indicate no change needed.
× Where do you work?>
✓ Where do you work?
The original includes an extraneous '>' character. Remove it to be a proper question.
× I do not work.
✓ I do not work.
Sentence is grammatically correct for negation of current employment; no modal needed. Included to show no change.
× I am a student, so I am a study at Hiroshima University.
✓ I am a student, so I am studying at Hiroshima University.
'I am a study' is incorrect because 'study' is a verb; the correct progressive form is 'am studying'. Also use 'at' with university. The sentence describes current ongoing activity, so present continuous is appropriate. Suggestion: 'I am studying at Hiroshima University.'
× I am a master's student.
✓ I am a master's student.
Sentence is correct; included to confirm the article and possessive form are used correctly.
× My research topic is experimental study of erosion process in reverberate.
✓ My research topic is an experimental study of erosion processes in a reservoir.
Missing article 'an' before 'experimental study'. 'Erosion process' should be plural 'erosion processes' or 'the erosion process' depending on meaning. 'In reverberate' is incorrect — likely intended 'in a reservoir' or another technical noun. I used 'reservoir' as a plausible correction. Clarify the specific technical term if different. Suggestion: include 'an' and use the correct noun for location and pluralize 'process' if general.
× I work on this topic.
✓ I am working on this topic.
To express an ongoing research activity in the present, use the present continuous 'am working' rather than simple present 'work'. This matches earlier statements that the student is currently a master's student conducting research. Suggestion: use 'I am working on this topic.'
× I don't know because I do not work in a company.
✓ I don't know because I do not work for a company.
Use preposition 'for' with 'work' when referring to employment by a company. 'In a company' is not idiomatic for employment status. Suggestion: 'I do not work for a company.'
× I I only work my research traffic in my university.
✓ I only work on my research at my university.
The original has repeated 'I', wrong collocation 'work my research traffic', and wrong preposition. Use 'work on my research' and 'at my university'. Suggestion: 'I only work on my research at my university.'
× My main focus is doing research.
✓ My main focus is doing research.
This sentence is acceptable grammatically; 'is doing research' correctly uses noun phrase complement. Included to indicate no change needed.
× Would you like the place where you work?
✓ Would you like the place where you work?
The question is grammatically correct. Included to confirm no change.
× Sometimes I work on my experimental building.
✓ Sometimes I work in my experimental laboratory/building.
'Work on my experimental building' implies repairing the building. If the meaning is to conduct experiments, use 'work in my experimental laboratory' or 'work in the experimental building'. Choose 'in' rather than 'on' for working inside a location. Suggestion: 'Sometimes I work in the experimental building.' or 'Sometimes I work in my experimental laboratory.'
× I like this place because there have everything those I need for my experiment.
✓ I like this place because it has everything I need for my experiment.
Original has subject-verb disagreement and wrong pronoun order: 'there have' is incorrect; use 'it has' or 'there is/are'. 'Those I need' is wrong sequence — use 'everything I need'. Suggestion: 'It has everything I need for my experiment.'
× This is very helpful to to learning new things and and.
✓ This is very helpful for learning new things.
Double words 'to to' and 'and and' are errors. Use 'helpful for learning' or 'helpful in learning'. Remove trailing incomplete conjunction. Keep the phrase concise. Suggestion: 'This is very helpful for learning new things.'
× What are your future work plans?
✓ What are your future work plans?
Question is grammatically correct; included to confirm no change.
× My work plan is how to extended my ongoing research work.
✓ My work plan is how to extend my ongoing research work.
Use base form 'extend' after 'how to'. 'Extended' is past participle and incorrect here. Also 'ongoing research work' is redundant; 'ongoing research' suffices. Suggestion: 'My plan is to extend my ongoing research.'
× This is my main focus.
✓ This is my main focus.
Sentence is correct; included to indicate no change.
× I am work on a research topic related to sediment transport.
✓ I am working on a research topic related to sediment transport.
Use present continuous 'am working' not 'am work'. 'Am' requires present participle form 'working'. Suggestion: 'I am working on a research topic related to sediment transport.'
