Work— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar: use 'a PhD student' and ensure subject-verb agreement ('research mainly focuses'). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid redundant phrases and keep it under 5 sentences.

Example: I'm a PhD student at the University of Nottingham. I study Building Technology, and my research mainly focuses on the urban microclimate, especially how street layout affects temperature and humidity.

Suggestion: Improve grammar and clarity: say 'I usually work from home' and explain briefly why with a linking phrase. Provide one specific detail about your setup or tasks to enrich the answer.

Example: I usually work from home because I need a powerful computer to run simulations of urban temperature and humidity. For example, I run CFD models on my desktop to analyse airflow around buildings.

Suggestion: Correct grammar, use plural/singular forms and articles, and make the answer more natural and concise. Combine related points with linking words and give one specific reason why it's good (comfort, equipment).

Example: Yes, it's a good place to work. I bought an expensive desk and comfortable chair, and I have two laptops plus a desktop with dual monitors, which makes long simulation work much easier.

Suggestion: Clarify your preference and fix repetition and grammar. Decide which place you prefer (library or coffee shop) and state reasons using linking words. Avoid contradicting phrases and keep sentences short and coherent.

Example: I prefer working in a library or a quiet coffee shop because I enjoy having some background activity while still being able to concentrate. However, I usually work at home because there is no nearby library.

Suggestion: Make a clear, structured response: state your main goal, then outline realistic steps using linking words like 'first' and 'then'. Avoid hesitations and incomplete sentences; be specific about positions and timeline.

Example: My goal is to become a university professor. First, I will complete my PhD research, then look for positions such as a research fellow or lecturer, and eventually apply for a permanent faculty role after gaining teaching and publishing experience.

× I'm a PD student in the University of Nottingham.

✓ I'm a PhD student at the University of Nottingham.

Use correct abbreviation 'PhD' and preposition 'at' for institutions. Also 'University of Nottingham' is a proper noun so use 'the' before it. Replace wrong pronoun/abbreviation rather than a pronoun; the original shows word choice issues affecting pronoun/article usage.

× My major is Building Technology, but my research mainly focus on urban microclimate.

✓ My major is Building Technology, but my research mainly focuses on the urban microclimate.

Subject 'research' is singular, so the verb requires third person singular 'focuses' (subject-verb agreement). Also add 'the' before 'urban microclimate' to refer to a specific field.

× I always work in my home because I need to use computer to simulate the urban space like the temperature and humidity.

✓ I always work at home because I need to use a computer to simulate urban spaces such as temperature and humidity.

Use 'at home' (not 'in my home') for habitual work location. Include an article 'a computer' and pluralize 'urban space' to 'urban spaces' or keep singular with 'the'. Use 'such as' for examples instead of 'like' in formal speech.

× Yes, I buy a expensive table and with a comfortable chairs.

✓ Yes, I bought an expensive table and comfortable chairs.

Use past tense 'bought' for completed purchase. Use 'an' before a vowel sound 'expensive'. Remove redundant 'with' and make plural agreement 'comfortable chairs'.

× Also I have two laptops and one desk computer and with two monitor.

✓ Also, I have two laptops, a desktop computer, and two monitors.

Use 'desktop computer' (or 'a desktop PC') and plural 'monitors' to agree with 'two'. Remove unnecessary 'with' and add commas for clarity.

× Well, actually I like working in the library at a coffee shop because I like the place where I have a lot of people but keep but but is a peaceful place.

✓ Well, actually I like working in the library or at a coffee shop because I enjoy places with a lot of people that are still peaceful.

Original has repetition and incorrect conjunctions. Use 'or' to present alternatives. Replace 'where I have a lot of people but keep but but is a peaceful place' with 'places with a lot of people that are still peaceful' for grammatical clarity and correct clause structure.

× And why? Why working in my home? Because is there is no library.

✓ And why? Why work at home? Because there is no library where I live.

Use infinitive 'work' after 'why' for question form. Use correct 'there is' word order and add context 'where I live' to clarify. Also 'at home' is the correct preposition.

× When I finish all my research, I want to be a professor in the university.

✓ When I finish all my research, I want to be a professor at the university.

Change preposition to 'at' for institutions. The verb tense is fine (first clause uses present to refer to future); ensure article 'a professor' is correct.

× But I know it's fair for me because I I need to finish all my research and then find a job such as research fellow or or lecturer.

✓ But I know it's realistic for me because I need to finish all my research and then find a job such as a research fellow or a lecturer.

Replace 'fair' with 'realistic' for intended meaning. Remove duplicate 'I'. Add articles 'a research fellow' and 'a lecturer'. Remove duplicate 'or'.

× And when I finish or when I do a exciting work and maybe I can get a.

✓ And when I finish, or when I do some exciting work, maybe I can get one of those positions.

Original is incomplete and ungrammatical. Use commas and 'some exciting work' with adjective agreement ('an exciting' before singular noun) or rephrase to 'do some exciting work'. Complete the thought by specifying 'one of those positions' to make the sentence grammatical.
