Work— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence stating your status, avoid asking questions back to the examiner, fix grammar (use contractions carefully) and remove redundancy. Limit to max 3–4 sentences and add one specific reason or brief detail about your studies to enrich the answer.

Example: I am a full-time university student. I’m studying radiography, which involves biology and medical imaging courses. I’m looking forward to working after graduation because I want to help patients and apply what I learn.

Suggestion: Answer directly and politely: say clearly that you don’t work now, avoid short unclear words like 'Go', and add one brief explanation about your current focus. Use one or two linking words to make it coherent.

Example: I don’t work at the moment because I’m a full‑time student. Currently I focus on my university courses and clinical placements related to radiography.

Suggestion: Refocus the question: acknowledge you don’t have a workplace, then answer hypothetically or explain where you would like to work and why. Keep it concise and use linking words (however, so) to connect ideas.

Example: I don’t have a workplace at the moment. However, I would like to work in a well-equipped hospital because it would offer good training and exposure to different imaging technologies.

Suggestion: Again, start by stating you don’t work now, then give a specific preference about the kind of workplace you would like and a reason. Use one linking word (because/so) to connect your idea.

Example: I don’t work right now, but I would like to work in a busy hospital after graduation because it would allow me to gain practical experience and learn from senior radiographers.

Suggestion: Good direct answer and clear career goal. Improve by adding one specific short detail about how you will achieve this goal (e.g., further training, internships) and use varied vocabulary to show range. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: After graduation, I plan to work as a full‑time radiographer. To prepare, I will complete clinical placements and sit any required professional certification so I can work confidently in a hospital setting.

× Are you a student? No, I do not work.

✓ No, I do not work. I am a full-time student.

The original reply 'Are you a student? No, I do not work.' includes an irrelevant repeated question 'Are you a student?' from the Examiner and the student's reply lacked a clear pronoun reference to themselves. Also 'full time' should be hyphenated as 'full-time' when used as an adjective. Suggestion: respond directly with 'No, I do not work. I am a full-time student.' to make the subject clear and use correct adjective form.

× I am a full time student and but I am looking forward to work later on in life because it is such a good thing.

✓ I am a full-time student, but I am looking forward to working later in life because it is a worthwhile opportunity.

The phrase 'and but' is a redundant and incorrect conjunction combination. Use either 'and' or 'but' depending on intended contrast; here 'but' is appropriate. 'Full time' should be hyphenated as 'full-time'. 'Looking forward to' must be followed by a verb in -ing form ('working'), not the base form. Also 'such a good thing' is informal; 'a worthwhile opportunity' is clearer. Suggestion: use a single conjunction, hyphenate compound adjectives, and use the gerund after 'looking forward to'.

× Go. Like I said, I did not work.

✓ Like I said, I do not work.

The student used past tense 'did not work' while earlier they indicated current student status; the present simple 'do not work' correctly reflects their current situation. The extraneous 'Go.' is unnecessary and unclear. Suggestion: use present tense when describing ongoing non-employment.

× I do not work at the moment, I am currently at at school and I'm a full time student at a university so I'm focusing on my studies right now.

✓ I do not work at the moment. I am currently at school and I'm a full-time university student, so I'm focusing on my studies right now.

There is a repeated word 'at at' which is an error. 'Full time' should be hyphenated as 'full-time' when used adjectivally. Also the sentence is a run-on; use a period or semicolon to separate independent clauses. Suggestion: remove duplicate word, hyphenate compound adjective, and split long clauses for clarity.

× I do not work at the moment because I'm a full time university student, but I am looking forward to work after I'm done with my degree.

✓ I do not work at the moment because I'm a full-time university student, but I am looking forward to working after I'm done with my degree.

After the phrase 'looking forward to' the verb should be in -ing form ('working'), not the base form 'work'. Also hyphenate 'full-time'. Suggestion: use the gerund after 'looking forward to' and hyphenate compound adjectives.

× I do plan to work as a full time radiographer after I'm done with university, but for now I am not in a place where I can work because I'm still a full time student.

✓ I do plan to work as a full-time radiographer after I'm done with university, but for now I am not in a position to work because I'm still a full-time student.

'Full time' should be hyphenated as 'full-time'. The phrase 'not in a place where I can work' is awkward; 'not in a position to work' or 'not able to work at the moment' is more natural. The future intent 'do plan to work' is acceptable, but polishing phrasing improves clarity. Suggestion: hyphenate compound adjectives and use more natural collocations for 'not in a position to work'.
