× Currently I am a senior student at Universal and I am studying English pedagogy.
✓ Currently I am a senior student at Universal and I study English pedagogy.
The student uses present continuous 'am studying' which is acceptable for temporary actions, but when describing a regular course of study or current academic program, simple present 'study' is more natural. Use simple present for habitual or state verbs and academic programs. Suggestion: Use 'I study' to describe your course of study or 'I am studying' is acceptable if you want to emphasize ongoing process.
× I really love the phase of my life because I can work even I can learn new things and it can give me really a lot of benefits.
✓ I really love this phase of my life because I can work and learn new things, and it gives me many benefits.
Multiple issues: 'phase' spelled correctly but 'the phase of my life' should be 'this phase of my life' for immediacy; 'even I can learn' is an incorrect conjunction—use 'and' to connect actions; 'it can give me really a lot of benefits' is awkward and uses modal 'can' unnecessarily; 'many benefits' is more natural than 'a lot of benefits.' Suggestion: Use clear connectors ('and') and simple present for general truths ('it gives me many benefits').
× So now I am working at a language center which is included Korean, English and Chinese.
✓ So now I am working at a language center that offers Korean, English, and Chinese.
'Included' is incorrect here; use verbs like 'offers' or 'provides' to describe courses available at a center. Also use 'that' instead of 'which' in restrictive clause. List items should be separated by commas. Suggestion: Say 'a language center that offers Korean, English, and Chinese.'
× I am a English teaching assistant here.
✓ I am an English teaching assistant here.
Use 'an' before vowel sounds, so 'an English' is correct. Article choice depends on pronunciation, not spelling. Suggestion: Use 'an' before words starting with vowel sounds like 'English.'
× So most of my times when I work there I prepare Lesson plan teaching some.
✓ Most of the time when I work there, I prepare lesson plans and teach.
'Most of my times' is incorrect; use 'most of the time.' 'Lesson plan' should be plural 'lesson plans' if preparing several. 'Teaching some' is ungrammatical—use 'and teach' to indicate the activity. Suggestion: Use 'Most of the time... I prepare lesson plans and teach.'
× Uh, from my point of views, this is a good place to work because, uh, everything is high tax and modern and the people here are so friendly and I have been supported by everyone in this center.
✓ From my point of view, this is a good place to work because everything is high-tech and modern, the people here are very friendly, and I have been supported by everyone in this center.
Use singular 'point of view' not 'views.' 'High tax' is incorrect — should be 'high-tech.' 'So friendly' is informal; 'very friendly' is more neutral. Punctuation and conjunctions improved for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'From my point of view... everything is high-tech and modern, and the people are very friendly.'
× Yes, of course. I really love this place where I am working because it is a high tech center, they have a modern technical equipment and the people are friendly.
✓ Yes, of course. I really love this place where I am working because it is a high-tech center; they have modern technical equipment and the people are friendly.
Run-on sentence — replace comma with semicolon or split into two sentences. 'a modern technical equipment' is incorrect because 'equipment' is uncountable and does not take 'a' or 'a modern technical' is wordy — use 'modern technical equipment.' Also 'high-tech' needs a hyphen. Suggestion: Use correct punctuation and uncountable noun rules: 'they have modern technical equipment.'
× They also gave me their valuable feedback help me improve.
✓ They also gave me valuable feedback to help me improve.
Missing connector 'to' between 'feedback' and 'help'; 'their valuable feedback' is acceptable but 'valuable feedback' is more natural. The infinitive 'to help' shows purpose. Suggestion: Use 'gave me valuable feedback to help me improve.'
× So I believe that next year I will be an English teacher at my English center because now I am a teaching assistant and I trying to gain more and more experience from my teacher and then I can be a teacher like her.
✓ I believe that next year I will be an English teacher at my English center because now I am a teaching assistant and I am trying to gain more and more experience from my teacher so that I can become a teacher like her.
Missing auxiliary verb 'am' before 'trying' (present continuous). Use 'so that' to express purpose and 'become' is more natural than 'be.' Also avoid redundant 'So I believe that' — 'I believe that' is fine. Ensure tense consistency: present continuous for current actions and future simple for plans. Suggestion: Use 'I am trying' for ongoing actions and 'so that I can become' to show purpose.
