Do you work or are you a student?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: Be more concise and organized: start with a clear topic sentence (I am currently a student preparing for postgraduate exams), then give one or two specific supporting details (previous job, brief timeline). Reduce hesitations and avoid unnecessary background. Use linking words like 'after' and 'then' correctly.
Exemplo: I am currently a student preparing for my postgraduate (PG) exams. After my bachelor’s degree, I worked for seven months as a junior resident at the university where I studied. Then I got married and decided to resume studying, so I have been attending preparatory classes for the PG exam.
Where do you work?
Pontuação: 74.0Sugestão: Begin with a direct topic sentence stating your workplace, then add two specific responsibilities. Avoid filler words and make grammar accurate (e.g., 'I work at' not 'I have work in'). Use linking phrases such as 'there I' to connect responsibilities.
Exemplo: I work at a dental college and research center as a junior resident. There I give lectures to undergraduate students and perform clinical work with patients, including diagnosis and treatment under supervision.
Is it a good place to work?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: Provide a clear topic sentence then specific reasons using linking words (because, so, therefore). Avoid repetition (‘stuff’ -> ‘staff’) and refine informal phrases. Give one concrete example of familiarity or support to strengthen the answer.
Exemplo: Yes, it was a good place to work because it was the same university where I completed my bachelor’s degree. Therefore I was already familiar with the staff and faculty, which made it easier to settle in; for example, senior lecturers who knew me helped me adapt quickly to administrative procedures.
Would you like the place where you work?
Pontuação: 74.0Sugestão: Answer directly and avoid repeating the same points. Use one or two clear supporting reasons and correct grammar (e.g., 'heads of department' or 'HODs'). Use linking words like 'because' and 'and' to connect ideas coherently.
Exemplo: Yes, I liked working there because I was comfortable with the staff and students; many of them knew me from my time as a student. I was also familiar with the administration and the heads of departments, which helped me perform my duties confidently.
What are your future work plans?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Start with a clear, present-focused topic sentence about your career goal, then outline concrete steps and a timeline. Avoid vague phrases ('sort of thing') and ensure correct terminology (BDS is undergraduate—if you mean postgraduate specialty, state it). Use linking words like 'after' and 'then'.
Exemplo: My main future plan is to complete postgraduate training in dentistry and then pursue an academic career. After finishing the PG program, I aim to become a professor, give lectures, and supervise students in clinical practice to help them learn effectively.
× After my bachelor's degree, I had a job as a junior resident in one of the universities where I worked for seven months and then I got married.
✓ After my bachelor's degree, I had a job as a junior resident at one of the universities where I worked for seven months, and then I got married.
Use of preposition: 'in one of the universities' is less natural than 'at one of the universities' when referring to employment at an institution. Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' to join two independent clauses clearly. Suggestion: Use 'at' for workplaces and add commas between independent clauses.
× So yeah, then I have to prepare for my neat, uh, PG exam.
✓ So yeah, then I had to prepare for my neat PG exam.
Tense consistency: the student is describing past events, so 'have to' should be in past form 'had to'. Also remove filler 'uh' and correct 'neat' to 'NEET' (name of the exam) if intended. Suggestion: Keep verb tense consistent with the narrative (use past tense for past actions).
× So yeah, I attended few classes.
✓ So yeah, I attended a few classes.
Article usage with plural count noun: 'few' without an article implies a small number with negative sense; common correct form is 'a few' meaning some. Suggestion: Use 'a few classes' when meaning several classes attended.
× So I then became a student again.
✓ So I then became a student again.
This sentence is grammatically correct in past tense and matches context; no change required.
× I have work in a dental college and Research Center as a junior resident and uh, in that I have to give lectures to the student, uh, do some clinical work.
✓ I worked at a dental college and Research Center as a junior resident, and there I had to give lectures to the students and do some clinical work.
Preposition and tense: use past tense 'worked' to match narrative. Use 'at' for institutions. 'In that' is awkward; use 'there' or 'in which' and plural 'students'. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: Use 'worked at' and 'students' plural, keep tense consistent.
× Yes, it's a good place to work for me because it was my university where I did my bachelor's degree.
✓ Yes, it was a good place for me to work because it was the university where I did my bachelor's degree.
Pronoun and article use: 'it's' present conflicts with past context; change to 'it was'. Use definite article 'the university' for a specific institution. Also prefer 'for me to work' word order. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and use 'the' for a specific known university.
× So all the stuff and all the faculties were very familiar to me and I knew the drill.
✓ So all the staff and the faculty were very familiar to me and I knew the drill.
Word choice and articles: 'stuff' is incorrect for people; correct word is 'staff'. 'Faculties' is plural noun for departments or academic staff; 'the faculty' or 'the departments' is better. Add 'the' for specificity. Suggestion: Use precise nouns ('staff', 'faculty') and include 'the' when referring to specific groups.
× So it was quite easy for me to be comfortable and do my job easily.
✓ So it was quite easy for me to be comfortable and to do my job easily.
Parallel structure: keep infinitive forms parallel by using 'to be' and 'to do'. Suggestion: Use parallel infinitives for clarity.
× Yes, I like the place where I used to work because I was comfortable with the staff and students because they were in the juniors when I was a student there.
✓ Yes, I liked the place where I used to work because I was comfortable with the staff and students; they were juniors when I was a student there.
Tense consistency and clarity: 'I like' (present) conflicts with 'used to work' (past); use 'liked'. 'They were in the juniors' is awkward; 'they were juniors' is clearer. Suggestion: Maintain past tense for past situations and simplify phrasing.
× So yeah, I know all the administration department and all the Hods and very familiar with the environment there.
✓ So yeah, I knew the administration department and all the HODs and was very familiar with the environment there.
Tense and agreement: change to past tense 'knew' and 'was' to match narrative. Use plural 'HODs' and 'the administration department' (or 'administration departments' depending). Also include article 'the'. Suggestion: Maintain tense consistency and use correct pluralization and articles.
× Firstly, I was thinking of doing my postgraduate and my BDS degree.
✓ At first, I was thinking of doing my postgraduate studies after my BDS degree.
Word choice and tense: 'postgraduate' alone is vague; use 'postgraduate studies'. Also 'my BDS degree' should be ordered logically: BDS is an undergraduate degree, so say 'after my BDS degree' if reflecting sequence. Suggestion: Use clear phrase 'postgraduate studies' and correct sequencing.
× Then I wanted to become a professor and take some lectures and help student learn better.
✓ Then I wanted to become a professor, give some lectures, and help students learn better.
Plural noun agreement: 'student' should be plural 'students'. Use parallel verb forms: 'become', 'give', 'help'. Suggestion: Use plural 'students' and parallel verbs.
× But yeah, this is sort of thing I want to do in my future.
✓ But yes, this is the sort of thing I want to do in the future.
Article and word order: add 'the' before 'sort of thing' and use 'in the future' (not 'my future'). Also 'yeah' informal; use 'yes' for formal speech. Suggestion: Use 'the sort of thing' and 'in the future' for clearer, more natural phrasing.
