Do you work or are you a student?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct collocations (e.g. 'studying a diploma in computer programming' or 'doing a diploma course'), and avoid repeating the same idea. Use one or two supporting details with linking words. Also correct small grammatical errors (e.g. 'a part-time job', 'I study' or 'I am studying').
Ví dụ: I’m a student studying a diploma in computer programming at college. In addition, I work part-time as a cashier at a local grocery store, so I’m learning to balance work and study.
Where do you work?

Is it a good place to work?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Make the answer direct and grammatical. Start with a clear opinion sentence and then add 1–2 specific reasons using linking words (e.g. 'because' or 'and'). Avoid vague phrases and tense mistakes ('I enjoyed' vs 'I enjoy').

Begin with a topic sentence stating your main plan, then add a supporting detail about alternatives or steps you are taking, using linking words like 'also' or 'so'. Use correct terms: 'doing a diploma in computer programming', 'become a software developer', 'searching for jobs in web development'.
Ví dụ: I am doing a diploma in computer programming, and my main goal is to become a software developer. I’m also looking for entry-level jobs in web development because I enjoy designing websites and want practical experience.
× I'm a student. I'm studying an algorithm in college doing a diploma course.
✓ I'm a student. I'm studying algorithms in college and doing a diploma course.
The original sentence has awkward noun form and coordination. 'Algorithm' should be plural 'algorithms' to match general study, and two verb phrases need a conjunction: 'studying algorithms in college and doing a diploma course.' Use parallel structure for clarity.
× Along with that I'm doing a part time job as a cashier in a local grocery store.
✓ Along with that, I'm doing a part-time job as a cashier at a local grocery store.
Use present continuous 'I'm doing' is acceptable, but 'part time' should be hyphenated 'part-time' as a compound adjective and the preposition for workplaces is 'at' rather than 'in'. Also add a comma after 'Along with that' for readability.
× I'm managing my work life and student life.
✓ I'm managing my work life and student life.
Sentence is grammatically correct in present continuous; no change needed beyond confirming tense consistency.
× I'm working as a cashier in Food Basics, which is a local grocery store.
✓ I work as a cashier at Food Basics, which is a local grocery store.
Present simple 'I work' is more natural for habitual employment than 'I'm working'. Use 'at' for the location of work.
× Guess I really enjoyed working in my workplace because it's provided good working environment and also the coworkers are very friendly and helpful along with that and the customers I got for the few days.
✓ I really enjoy working at my workplace because it provides a good working environment, the coworkers are very friendly and helpful, and the customers I've served in the past few days have been pleasant.
Multiple errors: tense consistency (use present 'enjoy' and 'provides' not 'enjoyed' and 'it's provided'), article missing before 'good working environment' ('a good working environment'), preposition 'at' preferred, awkward phrases 'along with that' removed, and pronoun/reference clarified 'customers I've served'. Also fix word order and punctuation to separate ideas.
× Yes, I really love the place I work.
✓ Yes, I really love the place where I work.
Add 'where' to connect 'place' and the relative clause 'I work' for correct sentence structure.
× I provide a big. Very pleasant and helpful working atmosphere along with the coworkers, the customers, the police, all are really very good.
✓ It provides a very pleasant and helpful working atmosphere; the coworkers, the customers, and the managers are all very good.
The original 'I provide a big.' is unclear and ungrammatical. Likely intended 'It provides a big/very pleasant...' Use 'It provides' referring to the workplace, not 'I'. 'Big' is vague; replace with 'very pleasant and helpful working atmosphere'. 'The police' is unlikely in this context; replace with 'the managers' or omit. Use a semicolon or conjunction to connect clauses and ensure subject agreement.
× So I'm currently doing diploma in work computer programming, so my future plan is to program my software developer.
✓ So I'm currently doing a diploma in computer programming, and my future plan is to become a software developer.
Use article 'a diploma', correct word order 'computer programming', and express career goal with 'become a software developer' rather than 'program my software developer', which is incorrect verb usage.
× I'm also searching for the jobs in web development also because I really love to design websites.
✓ I'm also looking for jobs in web development because I really love designing websites.
Use 'looking for jobs' rather than 'searching for the jobs', remove redundant 'also', and use gerund 'designing websites' after 'love'. This keeps present continuous/habitual meaning appropriate.
