Work— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be slightly more concise and use clearer phrasing for balance between work and study. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one linking phrase to mention studying and purpose. Avoid unnecessary words like “alongside” without a connector.

Ví dụ: I work full time as an English teacher at a primary school, teaching children aged six to eleven. I also study part time at Metropolitan University to gain a higher qualification and improve my career prospects.

Gợi ý: Organize into a clear topic sentence then two concise supporting details connected with linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., “I work in the primary section of a college”; “I am a homeroom teacher”). Avoid repetition and unclear phrases like “from my home to school.”

Ví dụ: I work in the primary section of a local college. It takes about 40 minutes to commute from my home, so my mornings are quite busy. Also, I teach lower primary classes and am the homeroom teacher for one class.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and use present tense if still applicable; use linking words to show cause and effect (e.g., “because” or “so”). Be specific about why it’s not ideal and suggest one positive or negative point briefly to balance your response.

Ví dụ: It is quite a challenging place to work because the classes are often disruptive. For example, I usually spend the first 15 minutes calming students down, so I struggle to cover the planned lessons.

Gợi ý: Give a concise direct answer, then briefly explain the reason using linking words (e.g., “because” and “so”). Correct tense consistency and clarify timing: if you resigned, say past events clearly. One or two specific comparisons strengthen the point.

Ví dụ: No, I wouldn't. I resigned a few weeks ago because I accepted a post at a girls’ school. I find girls generally more attentive and focused, so classroom management is simpler and teaching is less stressful.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear topic sentence then concrete steps with correct terminology and grammar. Correct typos (“become”, “head of the English department”, likely “IELTS” not “iOS”), and use linking words like “to do this” or “for this reason.” Be specific about steps and timeline if possible.

Ví dụ: My goal is to become the head of the English department at my school. To do this, I plan to get a band 8 in the IELTS test and gain further qualifications, because these achievements will strengthen my promotion prospects.

× I work at college primary section.

✓ I work in the college's primary section.

The preposition 'in' is used for sections or parts of an institution. Also possessive ('college's') or 'the college primary section' is needed to show belonging. Use 'in the college's primary section' for natural phrasing.

× It is quite inconvenient to go there from my home to school.

✓ It is quite inconvenient to get there from my home to the school.

The original mixes prepositions incorrectly. Use 'get there' or 'go there' and include 'to the school' to show destination. 'From my home to the school' is the correct prepositional phrase.

× I teach in the lower primary and at my homeroom teacher, so I'm very busy in the morning.

✓ I teach in lower primary and I am the homeroom teacher, so I'm very busy in the morning.

The phrase 'at my homeroom teacher' is incorrect: it confuses role and location. Use 'I am the homeroom teacher' to indicate position. Also add 'I teach in lower primary' parallel structure.

× It was a very busy workplace.

✓ It is a very busy workplace.

The student is describing their workplace in general present terms. Use present tense 'is' rather than past 'was' unless referring to a past job. Consistency with surrounding present-tense statements requires present tense.

× As a homeroom teacher, I need to manage my own class which is very disruptive.

✓ As a homeroom teacher, I need to manage my own class, which is very disruptive.

A comma is needed before the non-restrictive clause 'which is very disruptive.' This is punctuation rather than grammar category but affects sentence correctness; the clause describes the class and should be set off with a comma.

× I usually spend the 1st 15 minutes of each class trying to calm them down, which makes it harder to cover the planned lessons.

✓ I usually spend the first 15 minutes of each class trying to calm them down, which makes it harder to cover the planned lessons.

Use the written form 'first' instead of numeric ordinal '1st' in formal speech. The verb + -ing form 'trying' is correct here; this correction focuses on style and formality.

× Would you like the place where you work?

✓ Do you like the place where you work?

The examiner's question should use 'Do you like...' to ask about present preference. 'Would you like...' asks about a hypothetical or future desire. This change aligns the question form with the expected meaning.

× No I wouldn't.

✓ No, I don't.

The student's reply to 'Do you like the place where you work?' should be present-tense 'I don't' if they are currently not satisfied. 'I wouldn't' implies conditional or hypothetical refusal and is inappropriate here.

× I resigned a few weeks ago because I got an offer at a girls school.

✓ I resigned a few weeks ago because I got an offer at a girls' school.

Use past tense 'resigned' and 'got' are correct. The noun 'girls school' requires a possessive apostrophe 'girls'' to indicate a school for girls: 'girls' school.'

× I find teaching girls easier than teaching boys because they tend to be more attentive and focused in class, which makes classroom management simpler.

✓ I find teaching girls easier than teaching boys because they tend to be more attentive and focused in class, which makes classroom management simpler.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No article change needed. This entry repeats original to indicate no correction required; explanation: structure, comparative phrase and pronoun references are correct.

× My future work plan is to be come the head of English department in my school.

✓ My future work plan is to become the head of the English department at my school.

Several issues: 'be come' is two words incorrectly separated; should be 'become.' Add the definite article 'the' before 'English department.' Use 'at my school' for natural preposition. This fixes word formation, article use and preposition.

× To achieve that I need to get a band 8 for the iOS test and it also strengthen my promotion prospects.

✓ To achieve that, I need to get a band 8 in the IELTS test, and it will also strengthen my promotion prospects.

Multiple issues: 'iOS test' is incorrect — likely 'IELTS test.' Use 'in' with tests ('get a band 8 in the IELTS test'). Add comma after introductory phrase. 'it also strengthen' lacks subject-verb agreement and future/modal marker: use 'it will also strengthen' or 'which will also strengthen.' This fixes article/use of preposition and verb agreement.
