Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× No, I find it difficult to study science especially at school because I'm not interested in focusing on pursue only one correct answer in exams.

No, I find it difficult to study science especially at school because I'm not interested in focusing on pursuing only one correct answer in exams.

The verb 'focus' should be followed by the gerund form 'pursuing' rather than the base form 'pursue' after the preposition 'on'. This is because after prepositions, verbs must be in the '-ing' form.

Singular and plural issue

× Yes, I have to use much scientific knowledge because I'm a journalist specializing in environmental issues and climate change.

Yes, I have to use a lot of scientific knowledge because I'm a journalist specialising in environmental issues and climate change.

The quantifier 'much' is generally used with uncountable nouns in negative sentences or questions. Here, 'a lot of' is more appropriate in affirmative sentences to express a large amount of uncountable noun 'scientific knowledge'. Also, 'specializing' is corrected to British English spelling 'specialising' to match the context.

Singular and plural issue

× As such topics are very complicated.

As such topics are very complicated.

This sentence is a fragment and lacks a main verb, but it does not contain a singular/plural error. No correction needed here for singular/plural issue.

Singular and plural issue

× I have to read many scientific reports to write a great articles, so it requires a lot.

I have to read many scientific reports to write great articles, so it requires a lot.

The phrase 'a great articles' is incorrect because 'articles' is plural and should not be preceded by the singular article 'a'. The correct form is 'great articles' without 'a'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× I would like to gain a lot of information about space explorations because many entrepreneurs are investing heavily on this field and therefore the topic is very inspiring and interesting.

I would like to gain a lot of information about space explorations because many entrepreneurs are investing heavily in this field and therefore the topic is very inspiring and interesting.

The correct preposition to use with 'investing' is 'in', not 'on'. The phrase should be 'investing heavily in this field'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× For example, I'm very interested in topics about the extraterrestrial life, which is very inspiring.

For example, I'm very interested in topics about extraterrestrial life, which is very inspiring.

The definite article 'the' before 'extraterrestrial life' is unnecessary because 'extraterrestrial life' is a general concept here. Removing 'the' makes the sentence more natural.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Yes, I think it is essential for all children to learn science, especially in elementary schools.

Yes, I think it is essential for all children to learn science, especially in primary schools.

In British English, 'primary schools' is the more common term instead of 'elementary schools'. Also, no article is needed before 'elementary schools' or 'primary schools' when speaking generally.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× This is because the speed of technological advancements is very rapid, and daily life is deeply related to science, so children should get the fundamental knowledge.

This is because the speed of technological advancements is very rapid, and daily life is deeply related to science, so children should get fundamental knowledge.

The definite article 'the' before 'fundamental knowledge' is unnecessary because 'fundamental knowledge' is an uncountable noun used in a general sense here.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× Yes, I prefer watching BBC science documentaries because I can gain a lot of knowledge about how to explain complicated science topics more clearly, especially for young children.

Yes, I prefer watching BBC science documentaries because I can gain a lot of knowledge about how to explain complicated science topics more clearly, especially to young children.

The preposition 'for' is less appropriate here; 'especially to young children' is better to indicate the audience for the explanation.

Incorrect use of the definite article

× As a journalist, I have to improve my explanation skill and watching documentaries is very effective.

As a journalist, I have to improve my explanation skills and watching documentaries is very effective.

The noun 'skill' should be plural 'skills' because it refers to the general ability to explain, which usually involves multiple skills.
