Work— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Cải thiện sự tự nhiên và mạch lạc: trả lời trực tiếp rồi mở rộng ngắn gọn với thông tin cụ thể; tránh lỗi từ vựng nhỏ (ví dụ 'repairing' không phù hợp với 'design documentation'). Dùng liên từ để kết nối ý và giữ tối đa 3-4 câu.

Ví dụ: I work as an architect in Singapore. I mainly create 3D models and prepare design documentation for projects. I also use CAD software to develop detailed construction drawings, which helps the engineering team build accurately.

Gợi ý: Tránh lặp lại thông tin đã nói, dùng câu chủ đề ngắn rồi thêm chi tiết cụ thể; sửa lỗi ngữ pháp nhỏ ('a architectural' → 'an architectural') và chọn từ chính xác ('beam model' có thể giải thích rõ hơn). Giữ câu gọn trong không quá 4 câu.

Ví dụ: I work at an architectural studio in Singapore. I prepare documents that cover everything from concept design to construction drawings. Occasionally I create structural models, such as beam models, to coordinate with engineers.

Gợi ý: Làm rõ thời gian và nguyên nhân với liên từ phù hợp; loại bỏ tiếng ậm ừ và sửa cấu trúc câu để tự nhiên hơn ('I hadn't had any experience' → 'I had no prior experience'). Giữ tối đa 3 câu và cung cấp ví dụ cụ thể về sự hỗ trợ của đồng nghiệp.

Ví dụ: Yes, it's a great place to work. My Singaporean colleagues were very welcoming and helped me adapt quickly, for example by showing me local procedures and sharing helpful templates. Thanks to them I settled in within a few weeks.

Gợi ý: Tránh tiếng lưỡng lự và sử dụng cấu trúc rõ ràng: nêu quan điểm rồi giải thích cụ thể với kết quả. Sử dụng từ vựng chính xác (e.g., 'few windows' → 'few windows so the room lacks natural light'). Giữ 2–3 câu, không lặp từ.

Ví dụ: I don't really like my current office because it is quite small and has very few windows, so it lacks natural light. As a result the space feels gloomy and a bit uncomfortable to work in.

Gợi ý: Loại bỏ tiếng ậm ừ và lỗi ngữ pháp; nói rõ kế hoạch với lý do cụ thể. Sửa từ sai ('sues me' → 'suits me') và câu thiếu chủ ngữ ('return to with them' → 'return there to be with them'). Nên có 2–3 câu: mục tiêu + lí do cụ thể.

Ví dụ: After I finish my three-year contract in Singapore, I plan to return to Vietnam to be with my family and friends. The architectural industry there suits me better because it offers more flexibility and creative opportunities.

× I'm working as an architect in Singapore.

✓ I work as an architect in Singapore.

Use simple present to describe a permanent job or general fact rather than present continuous. Say 'I work' for regular employment, unless emphasizing a temporary or current ongoing action. Suggestion: use 'I work as an architect in Singapore.'

× Currently, my responsibilities include creating 3D models and repairing design documentation, and I also use CAD software to develop construction drawings.

✓ Currently, my responsibilities include creating 3D models and preparing design documentation, and I also use CAD software to develop construction drawings.

The verb 'repairing' is incorrect in this context; 'preparing' or 'producing' is the correct gerund to describe creating documentation. Maintain parallel structure with other -ing forms. Suggestion: use 'preparing design documentation.'

× As I have mentioned, I am an architect in a architectural studio located in Singapore and my responsibility is preparing documents from concept design to construction design and sometimes I have to make the beam model also.

✓ As I mentioned, I am an architect in an architectural studio located in Singapore, and my responsibility is preparing documents from concept design to construction design, and sometimes I also have to create beam models.

Use 'an architectural studio' (article 'an' before vowel sound) and 'architectural' not 'a architectural'. Use 'As I mentioned' is more natural than 'As I have mentioned' in spoken context. 'Make the beam model' is better as 'create beam models' for natural collocation and plural agreement. Also add commas for clarity.

× Yes, definitely. Uh, my Singaporean colleagues are very welcoming and supportive as I hadn't had any experience working in Singapore.

✓ Yes, definitely. Uh, my Singaporean colleagues are very welcoming and supportive as I hadn't had any experience working in Singapore before.

The sentence is mostly correct but needs 'before' to clarify time reference. 'Hadn't had' is past perfect to show lack of prior experience; adding 'before' improves clarity. Suggestion: include time adverb 'before.'

× But because of them, I settle in weekly and, uh, start to work smoothly.

✓ But because of them, I settled in quickly and started to work smoothly.

The context refers to a past adaptation process, so past tense should be used ('settled in', 'started'). 'Weekly' is incorrect here; use 'quickly' or 'well' to describe how adaptation occurred. Suggestion: use past simple for completed past actions.

× MMM I really don't like my current office in Singapore because uh, the workplace is very small and there are few windows that uh, the room doesn't get much daylight.

✓ I really don't like my current office in Singapore because the workplace is very small and there are few windows, so the room doesn't get much daylight.

'There are few windows that the room doesn't get much daylight' is ungrammatical. Use a coordinating conjunction 'so' to show cause. 'Few' is correct for plural count noun but need clearer clause linkage. Remove filler 'uh' and 'MMM' for clarity.

× It makes the environment a little bit gloomy and uncomfortable to walk in.

✓ This makes the environment a little gloomy and uncomfortable to work in.

The intended meaning is that the workspace feels gloomy and uncomfortable for working, not 'to walk in.' Change 'walk in' to 'work in' and 'a little bit' to 'a little' for conciseness. Use 'This' to refer back to the lack of daylight.

× MMM, I think after I finished the three-year contract in Singapore, I will return to with them as my family, friends and professional network are there.

✓ I think after I finish the three-year contract in Singapore, I will return to them, as my family, friends and professional network are there.

Match future plan timing: use present simple 'finish' for future time clause and 'will return' for future result. 'Return to with them' is incorrect; use 'return to them' or 'return home to them' depending on meaning. Remove filler 'MMM.'

× Also, the architectural work environment in Vietnam sues me better, offering more flexibility and creative opportunities.

✓ Also, the architectural work environment in Vietnam suits me better, offering more flexibility and creative opportunities.

Typo 'sues' should be 'suits' (verb meaning to be suitable). No preposition change needed but correct verb is crucial. 'Suits me better' is the correct collocation.
