Do you work or are you a student?
分数: 74.0建议: Be more concise and correct small grammatical errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh) and repeated words. Also check subject-verb agreement and article use (e.g., “interpreting them into clinical decisions” → “interpreting them for clinical decision-making”).
示例: I work as a genetic counselor. I analyse genetic data and interpret the results to support clinical decision-making, and I explain those results clearly to patients and their doctors. Because of this, I find my job fulfilling since I can help people understand complex information and make informed choices.
Where do you work?
分数: 78.0建议: Improve sentence flow and fix articles and small grammar issues. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then add a specific detail and a linking phrase to explain why it matters. Remove minor redundancy (e.g., “located in an office building in the city center” could be shortened).
示例: I work for a genetic testing company in the city centre. I've been there for two years as a genetic counselor, and because the office is close to my home, commuting is very convenient which makes my daily routine less stressful.
Is it a good place to work?
分数: 70.0建议: Answer fully and avoid trailing off. Keep the structure: clear opinion, supporting detail with linking words, and a brief consequence. Correct subject-verb agreement (‘which helps me’). Remove incomplete sentence at the end. Add one more specific example if possible (e.g., mentorship program).
示例: Yes, it is a great place to work because my colleagues and managers are very supportive. For example, they offer mentorship when I encounter unfamiliar tasks, which helps me learn new skills quickly and feel more confident at work.
Would you like the place where you work?
分数: 72.0建议: Be concise and avoid hesitations. Remove fragment (‘because it is’). Use linking words to connect points and correct article usage (‘good benefits’ → ‘good benefits’ is fine but remove extra ‘the’). Limit to 3–4 sentences: opinion, two specific supporting points, consequence.
示例: Yes, I like my company because it offers good benefits and competitive salaries, and the working environment is very supportive. Colleagues are helpful and there are many opportunities for career growth, so I feel motivated to develop my skills here.
What are your future work plans?

× My scope of work in includes analysing the genetic data and interpreting them into, uh, clinical decisions.
✓ My scope of work includes analysing genetic data and interpreting it into clinical decisions.
Removed extra preposition 'in' and fixed verb/object agreement. 'Scope of work includes' is correct; 'analysing genetic data' does not need 'the' here; 'interpreting it' uses singular pronoun 'it' to refer to 'genetic data' as a unit for clarity.
× Uh I explained the test results to the patients and the the treating doctors.
✓ Uh I explain the test results to the patients and the treating doctors.
The context is present job duties, so present tense 'explain' is appropriate rather than past 'explained'. Also removed duplicated 'the'. Use present simple for habitual actions: 'I explain the test results to patients and treating doctors.'
× I work at a genetic testing company located in a office building in the city center.
✓ I work at a genetic testing company located in an office building in the city center.
Use 'an' before a vowel sound. 'Office' begins with a vowel sound so the correct article is 'an' not 'a'.
× I've been working here for two years and as an genetic counselor, and I like that it's very convenient for me to commute from my house to the office.
✓ I've been working here for two years as a genetic counselor, and I like that it's very convenient for me to commute from my house to the office.
Remove incorrect extra 'and'. Also change 'an genetic counselor' to 'a genetic counselor' because 'genetic' begins with a consonant sound 'j'. The sentence structure improves by placing 'as a genetic counselor' directly after the time phrase.
× For example, they're always willing to help me whenever I face an unfamiliar task or any difficulties at work, which help me learn new skills faster.
✓ For example, they're always willing to help me whenever I face an unfamiliar task or any difficulty at work, which helps me learn new skills faster.
Subject-verb agreement: the relative clause 'which helps' refers to the singular idea of help from colleagues, so use 'helps'. Also 'any difficulties' can be singular 'any difficulty' to match 'an unfamiliar task or any difficulty' or keep plural but then adjust verb; here singular makes the sentence smoother.
× Also the company.
✓ Also, the company is supportive.
The original fragment 'Also the company.' is incomplete (no verb). Provide a complete sentence that fits context. Adding 'is supportive' completes the thought.
× Yes, I like the company I work for because it is. It offers the good benefits and competitive salaries.
✓ Yes, I like the company I work for because it is supportive. It offers good benefits and competitive salaries.
The first part 'because it is.' is a sentence fragment; complete it (e.g., 'supportive'). Also remove unnecessary definite article in 'the good benefits' — 'good benefits' is correct.
× The working environment is supportive, uh colleagues are helpful, and there are plenty of opportunities for career growth.
✓ The working environment is supportive, my colleagues are helpful, and there are plenty of opportunities for career growth.
Add a possessive pronoun 'my' before 'colleagues' to clarify whose colleagues are meant. The original comma splice remains but acceptable in spoken style; main issue was missing pronoun.
× I feel motivated working for this company.
✓ I feel motivated working for this company.
No change needed: sentence correctly uses present tense to express current feeling. Included here to indicate it matches the allowed types list and requires no correction.
× I'm looking for a university with strong programs in that subject and will apply soon.
✓ I'm looking for a university with strong programs in that subject and I will apply soon.
Add subject 'I' before 'will apply' for clarity and parallelism. Although omission of subject is sometimes acceptable in speech, written grammar requires explicit subject for the second clause.
