Do you work or are you a student?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Be direct, clear and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. “I’m currently working”), then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid long hesitations and irrelevant words. Improve grammar (present continuous vs simple), vocabulary (use correct terms like “grain plant” not “grand plant”), and pronunciation of key words. Limit to 2–4 sentences.
Example: I’m currently working as an operator at a grain processing plant in Sarnia. My job involves buying and storing grain from local farmers and arranging shipments to places like Winnipeg and overseas.
Where do you work?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Answer directly with the company name and one clear function of the workplace. Use linking words (for example, “and then” or “after that”) to explain process. Correct specific vocabulary (e.g. “grain plant”, “export”) and remove filler words. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Example: I work for Cargill in Sarnia. It’s a grain processing plant where we store grain from local farmers and then export it to other cities or countries as needed.
Is it a good place to work?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Start with a direct opinion sentence, then provide two specific supporting reasons linked with connectors like “because” or “for example.” Avoid repeating the same idea. Use clearer grammar (e.g. “help you” not “give you a hand and do the work”) and reduce hesitations. Keep answer within 3 sentences.
Example: Yes, it’s a good place to work because the managers and colleagues are very supportive. For example, coworkers always help each other with difficult tasks, and we often have social events like barbecues, which creates a friendly atmosphere.
Would you like the place where you work?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Give a clear yes/no response first, then two specific reasons using linking phrases like “because” and “also.” Improve grammar (e.g. “we depend on the pay” → “the pay is good”); avoid repetition. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Example: Yes, I like working there because the pay is good and the workplace is convenient. I also enjoy the friendly environment and easy commute.
What are your future work plans?

Be concise and clear about timeline and steps. Limit to 2–3 sentences.
Example: I plan to take professional certifications in electrical maintenance and safety first. After gaining those qualifications and experience, I hope to move into a supervisory role and eventually become a general manager.
× Current I'm not a student currently I'm working as a grand plant operator in Sarnia.
✓ Currently I'm not a student; I'm working as a grain plant operator in Sarnia.
Uses present continuous correctly but 'Current' wrong form and duplicated 'currently'; also 'grand' is wrong word. Use 'Currently' at start and present continuous 'I'm working' is correct for current action. Also corrected 'grand' to 'grain' and added punctuation to separate clauses. Suggestion: Start with 'Currently' and use a semicolon or conjunction to join clauses; check vocabulary (grain).
× It's uh, umm, buying grain from the farmer, sending to the various places like Winnipeg or some other countries, UK or somewhere.
✓ It involves buying grain from farmers and sending it to various places like Winnipeg or other countries such as the UK.
Original uses 'It's buying' which is awkward; better to use 'It involves' to describe the company's activity. 'Farmer' should be plural 'farmers'. 'Some other countries, UK or somewhere' is ungrammatical and unclear; rephrase to 'other countries such as the UK'. Suggestion: Use 'involves' to describe repeated activities and plural nouns for general statements.
× It's like on the farmers getting grain from kind of grain means soya, we eat Kung Fu and.
✓ Farmers supply different types of grain, such as soybeans and other crops.
Sentence is unclear and contains wrong words ('we eat Kung Fu'). Rephrase to a clear noun phrase: 'farmers supply different types of grain, such as soybeans.' Avoid filler phrases like 'kind of'. Suggestion: State products clearly and avoid unrelated words.
× I work in company name called Cargill.
✓ I work for a company called Cargill.
Use preposition 'for' with 'work' when naming employer, and word order should be 'a company called Cargill.' 'Company name called' is redundant. Suggestion: Use 'work for' + 'a company called'.
× It's kind of, uh, green plant, uh, Dubai grain from farmers, local farmers and uh, they store there and after a few days listen to somewhere like, uh, needed places, even pick or UK or something.
✓ It's a grain plant that buys grain from local farmers; they store it there and then ship it after a few days to places that need it, such as the US or the UK.
Sentence has many problems: 'green plant' should be 'grain plant'; 'Dubai grain' is likely wrong; 'listen to somewhere' is incorrect. Rephrase into clear clauses: 'a grain plant that buys...; they store it... then ship it...' Use correct verbs 'buy' and 'ship' and clear destination examples. Suggestion: Break into shorter sentences and choose accurate nouns/verbs.
× Yeah, it is good place to work.
✓ Yeah, it is a good place to work.
Missing indefinite article 'a' before 'good place'. Use 'a' for singular countable nouns. Suggestion: Remember 'a'/'an' with singular countable nouns.
× Uh, the managers and the colleagues, everybody very friendly If you are in a trouble, like difficult to do some task and they will give you a hand and do the work.
✓ The managers and colleagues are very friendly. If you have trouble doing a task, they will give you a hand and help you complete the work.
Original lacks verbs and proper sentence boundaries; 'everybody very friendly' missing 'is/are'. 'In a trouble' should be 'have trouble'. 'Do the work' better as 'help you complete the work'. Suggestion: Use complete clauses with subject and verb and correct expressions ('have trouble').
× And most of the people are there very friendly.
✓ Most of the people there are very friendly.
Word order improved: place adverb 'there' after noun phrase or earlier; original order awkward. Suggestion: Use 'Most of the people there are...'.
× And after the work also we have some barbecues and everything.
✓ After work we also have barbecues and other social events.
'After the work' is unnatural; use 'after work'. 'And everything' is vague—replace with 'other social events'. Suggestion: Prefer concise expressions and avoid vague fillers.
× So it's a friendly and environment, I would say.
✓ So it's a friendly environment, I would say.
Combine adjectives correctly; 'friendly and environment' is incorrect. Use noun 'environment' modified by adjective 'friendly'. Suggestion: Place adjective before noun.
× Yeah, I like the place where I work because it's a very, very convenient place and the especially we are depend on the pay they're paying like good pay and the environment also I like this.
✓ Yeah, I like the place where I work because it's very convenient, the pay is good, and I also like the work environment.
Original has tense and agreement issues: 'we are depend on' should be 'we depend on' or better 'the pay is good'. 'They're paying like good pay' awkward. Consolidate into clear present tense statements: 'the pay is good' and 'I like the work environment'. Suggestion: Use simple present for general truths and tidy phrases.
× So I want share this.
✓ So I wanted to share that.
Missing 'to' in 'want to share' and tense: in context, expressing present desire use 'I want to share this' or past 'I wanted to share that.' Chose 'wanted to share that' as natural. Suggestion: Use 'want to' + verb and adapt tense to context.
× Yeah, I'm gonna do some kind of certifications like scheduled third or electrical something and I will move as a manager in internal positions like manager and the general manager.
✓ I'm going to do some certifications, such as a third-class or electrical certification, and then move into internal management positions like manager and general manager.
Colloquial 'gonna' replaced with 'going to'. 'Scheduled third' unclear—interpreted as 'third-class'. 'Move as a manager in internal positions' rephrased to 'move into internal management positions'. Use 'then' to show sequence. Suggestion: Use 'going to' for planned future and clear nouns for certifications and positions.
× First I need to get some kind of certification and everything after that I will be able to get that one.
✓ First I need to get some certification, and after that I will be able to obtain the position.
'Some kind of certification and everything' is vague; simplify to 'some certification'. 'Get that one' unclear; specify 'obtain the position'. Use present tense 'I need' for current requirement and future 'I will be able' for future ability. Suggestion: Be specific about the certification and the goal position.
