Work— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Give a concise, direct answer first (e.g., "I'm not working at the moment; I'm a homemaker/looking for work/ a student"), then add one brief detail explaining your situation. Avoid vague phrases like "Doing nothing." Use linking words if you add more information.

Ví dụ: I'm not working at the moment; I'm currently a homemaker and also looking for job opportunities. Because I'm not employed right now, I've been focusing on improving my skills and applying for positions online.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and clearly, using appropriate vocabulary: if you do household work, say "I do household work at home" or "I'm a homemaker." Add one specific detail about what that involves to make the answer informative and natural.

Ví dụ: I don't work outside the home; I'm a homemaker and I manage household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and budgeting for my family.

Gợi ý: Understand the question and respond accordingly. If you don't have a workplace, say so and then answer whether you find your home environment positive. Provide a reason and one supporting detail using a linking word like "because" or "so."

Ví dụ: I don't have a workplace outside the home, but I would say my home is a good place to work because it's comfortable and flexible, which helps me balance chores and family responsibilities.

Gợi ý: Avoid repeating. Directly state your opinion about the place (home) and give a reason. Use a linking word to connect your opinion and reason, and keep it to one or two sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I like working at home because it allows me to be close to my family and manage my own schedule, although I sometimes miss interacting with colleagues.

Gợi ý: This is a good concise answer. Improve by adding a specific plan or timeline and a reason why you want that opportunity. Use linking words such as "because" or "so" to connect ideas and add one specific detail about the type of job you want.

Ví dụ: I'm currently looking for a good opportunity to start work in administration within the next six months because I have experience with organization and office tasks, and I want to build a steady career.

× If I talk about right now, I am. Doing nothing.

✓ If I talk about right now, I am doing nothing.

The original has a sentence fragment 'Doing nothing.' which lacks a subject and auxiliary verb. Combine into one sentence using the progressive 'am doing' to describe a current action. Suggestion: use 'I am doing nothing' or 'I'm not doing anything.'

× If I talk about right now, I am. Doing nothing.

✓ If I talk about right now, I am doing nothing.

The verb phrase requires the present participle 'doing' with the auxiliary 'am' to form the present continuous. The fragment separated the auxiliary and participle; join them to create correct tense.

× Where do you work?>

✓ Where do you work?

The sentence contains an extraneous '>' character likely from transcription; remove it to form a proper question. Also ensure correct punctuation.

× I don't work, I do household work.

✓ I don't have a job; I do household work.

Using 'work' twice is repetitive and 'I don't work' can be interpreted ambiguously. Replacing with 'I don't have a job' clarifies meaning. Using a semicolon or conjunction improves sentence flow.

× Is it a good place to work?

✓ Is it a good place to work?

This question is grammatically correct. No change needed.

× I do household work. I do not work.

✓ I do household work; I do not have a paid job.

The second sentence 'I do not work' contradicts the first and is unclear. Clarify by specifying 'paid job' or 'formal employment' to distinguish household work from employment.

× Would you like the place where you work?

✓ Do you like the place where you work?

The examiner likely asked about the student's feelings; 'Would you like' implies hypothetical desire. 'Do you like the place where you work?' fits if asking opinion. If asking willingness to work there, keep 'Would you like to work there?'. Adjust depending on intended meaning.

× I already mentioned that I do household work.

✓ I already mentioned that I do household work.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Use it to respond to repeated question.

× What are your future work plans?

✓ What are your future work plans?

The question is correct as written. No change needed.

× I'm looking for a good opportunity to start work.

✓ I'm looking for a good opportunity to start working.

After 'start,' both the bare infinitive 'work' and the -ing form 'working' can be used, but 'start working' is more natural here. Use 'start working' to emphasize beginning employment. Alternatively 'to start work' is acceptable in some varieties; prefer 'start working' for clarity.
