Work— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and clear: start with a concise topic sentence stating your current situation, avoid filler words (uh, um), correct tense use (past vs. present), and give one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words if adding details.

Example: I currently work as a science teacher at a college. Previously I studied, but now I teach students who are preparing for university entrance exams. I enjoy helping them understand difficult topics so they can pass their tests.

Suggestion: Give a clear, concise answer and clarify what you mean by 'grades' (use correct terms). Avoid repetition and use a linking word to add one precise detail such as the age range or number of students.

Example: I work at a local college that teaches students aged about 12 to 15, roughly equivalent to grades 7 and 8. I teach several classes each week and normally have around thirty students per class.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear opinion (yes/no/partly) and then explain with two contrasting specific reasons using linking words (however, although). Avoid repeating phrases and be concise.

Example: It's a mixed experience. Although the workload can be exhausting at times, I find it rewarding when students improve. For example, seeing a struggling student pass an exam makes the long hours worthwhile.

Suggestion: Give a direct, specific response that explains why you like (or dislike) the workplace. Use one or two supporting details and a linking word to make it coherent. Avoid vague phrases like 'I have no idea.'

Example: Yes, I like my workplace because colleagues are supportive and the atmosphere is friendly. For instance, we regularly share teaching materials and discuss students' progress, which helps me improve my lessons.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence about your main plan, use correct grammar for intentions (I want to / I plan to), and give one or two specific details (where, field, timeline, reasons). Avoid fillers and repetition.

Example: My main plan is to pursue a PhD abroad in astronomy. I hope to apply to universities in Europe within the next two years because I want to research star formation and collaborate with international researchers.

× I have work right now, but I, uh, I'm a student five years ago.

✓ I am working right now, but I was a student five years ago.

The sentence mixes present and past time references incorrectly. 'I have work right now' is awkward for ongoing action; use present continuous 'I am working right now.' 'I'm a student five years ago' refers to past time, so use simple past 'I was a student five years ago.' Ensure verb tenses match the time expressions. Suggestion: Use present continuous for current ongoing actions and simple past for finished past states.

× Uh, actually I wanna talk about my job.

✓ Actually, I want to talk about my job.

'Wanna' is informal contraction of 'want to' and not appropriate for careful speech; also this sentence does not require an -ing form. Replace with the full form 'want to' for clarity and formality. Suggestion: Use 'want to' in formal contexts.

× I'm a science teacher in the uh, college.

✓ I'm a science teacher at the college.

Use the preposition 'at' for place of work or study when referring to institutions like 'the college.' The present simple 'I'm' is correct for current occupation. Suggestion: Use 'at the college' to indicate workplace.

× I teach my students uh, for uh legacy exam and.

✓ I teach my students for the legacy exam.

The preposition 'for' is correct but the article 'the' is needed before 'legacy exam' to refer to a specific exam. Remove the trailing 'and.' Suggestion: Use 'for the legacy exam' to indicate purpose and include the definite article if the exam is specific.

× I work in a college.

✓ I work at a college.

'Work at' is the typical collocation for employment at an institution. 'In a college' is not incorrect but 'at a college' sounds more natural for workplace. Suggestion: Use 'at' to describe place of employment.

× This college includes a several UH grades like UH 7th grade or 8th grades.

✓ This college includes several grades, like seventh or eighth grade.

Do not use 'a' before 'several' and maintain consistent singular/plural for grade names. Use 'seventh or eighth grade' or 'seventh- and eighth-grade levels.' Remove 'UH' unless it is a known abbreviation and use ordinal words for grades. Suggestion: Say 'several grades' and use 'seventh grade' not '7th grade' in formal speech.

× I have a many students in this college.

✓ I have many students in this college.

Do not use the article 'a' before 'many.' 'Many' already expresses plurality. Use 'a lot of' or 'many' without 'a.' Suggestion: Use 'many students' or 'a lot of students.'

× Actually, I have no specific idea this question because sometimes I feel very tired and I feel very exhausted for my students.

✓ Actually, I have no specific idea about this question because sometimes I feel very tired and exhausted because of my students.

Need the preposition 'about' after 'idea.' 'Feel very exhausted for my students' is incorrect; use 'exhausted because of my students' or 'exhausted by my students.' Also avoid repeating 'I feel.' Suggestion: Use 'no specific idea about this question' and 'exhausted because of' or 'exhausted by.'

× But I feel I sometimes I feel very happy and I'm very supportive for my students and so I have no specific idea this question.

✓ But sometimes I feel very happy and I am very supportive of my students, so I have no specific opinion about this question.

Remove duplicate 'I feel.' Use 'supportive of' rather than 'supportive for.' 'No specific idea this question' needs 'opinion about this question.' Suggestion: Say 'sometimes I feel very happy' and 'supportive of my students.'

× I have no idea because I love my workplace and this, that's all.

✓ I have no idea because I love my workplace, and that's all.

No verb form error but punctuation and phrasing need smoothing. Combine clauses with a comma and 'and.' Suggestion: Use clearer linking: '...I love my workplace, and that's all.'

× I wanna talk about my future plans.

✓ I want to talk about my future plans.

'Wanna' is informal; use 'want to' in careful speech. The verb form is correct otherwise. Suggestion: Use 'want to'.

× Uh, firstly I wanna go abroad for my PhD and I want study and in an astronomy and, and science and my future plans.

✓ First, I want to go abroad for my PhD and study astronomy and other sciences. Those are my future plans.

'Wanna' should be 'want to.' After 'want' use the infinitive 'to study.' 'In an astronomy' is incorrect: use 'study astronomy.' 'And other sciences' clarifies plural. End with a clear summary sentence. Suggestion: Use 'I want to go abroad for my PhD and study astronomy and other sciences.'
