Work— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct small grammatical errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Fix quantifier and article mistakes (e.g., say “about a year” or “for several years”). Use linking words like “and” or “also” only when necessary.

Ejemplo: I work as a civil engineer. I have been in the field for about a year, focusing on infrastructure and underground projects, and I also take short courses to keep my skills up to date.

Sugerencia: Give a direct, grammatical answer with specific location and role details. Use one clear topic sentence about location, then one supporting detail about the type of project or your responsibilities. Avoid repetition and check subject-verb agreement.

Ejemplo: I work in the city centre on a large infrastructure project. I’m part of the team responsible for designing and overseeing underground works, and I enjoy meeting new colleagues every day.

Sugerencia: Correct grammar and choose accurate vocabulary (e.g., “offers,” “training and mentoring programs,” “colleagues” not “colleges”). Give one clear reason and a brief specific example using a linking phrase like “for example.”

Ejemplo: Yes, it’s a good place to work because the company offers a supportive environment and clear opportunities for growth. For example, they run regular training and mentoring programs, and managers give constructive feedback.

Sugerencia: Provide a fluent, grammatically correct response with coherent linking. State your opinion then give one or two specific reasons. Use correct nouns (e.g., “colleagues”) and simple linking words like “because” and “for example.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I like working there because the office is bright, well organized and has a collaborative atmosphere. For example, colleagues are supportive and there is a flexible break area that helps me stay motivated.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with a clear plan and realistic timeline, correct vocabulary (e.g., “be on my own” or “run my own business”), and give one or two specific steps you will take. Use linking words such as “because” or “so” appropriately.

Ejemplo: I don’t want to stay in the same position; I plan to keep learning and gain more experience. I hope to start my own engineering consultancy next year, so I am taking business courses and saving capital to prepare.

× I am currently working as a professional.

✓ I am currently working as a professional.

No change needed; sentence correctly uses present continuous to describe current employment.

× I have been in the civil engineering field for about a years now, specifically focusing on infrastructure projects and underground works.

✓ I have been in the civil engineering field for about a year now, specifically focusing on infrastructure projects and underground work.

'a years' is incorrect because 'a' requires a singular noun; use 'a year'. 'works' after 'underground' is better as uncountable 'work' when referring to the type of activity; use 'work' for general activities.

× The place where I is my job is located in the center of the city is as a is a larger project about infrastructure and underground works.

✓ The place where I work is located in the center of the city and is a large infrastructure and underground works project.

Multiple structural problems: 'where I is my job' is wrong word order and verb form; use 'where I work'. Duplicate 'is a is a' should be condensed. 'larger' should be 'large' to describe the project. Reordered clauses to create a clear subject-verb-object structure.

× I enjoy every day and discover new friends and get improving every day.

✓ I enjoy each day, meet new people, and improve every day.

Awkward verbs and repetition: 'enjoy every day' is acceptable but 'discover new friends' is not natural—use 'meet new people'. 'get improving' is incorrect; use 'improve'. Combine actions with parallel structure and remove redundancy.

× I think this is a good place to work because the company is offered a support environment and clear opportunity for professional growth, such as a regular training and mentoring programs.

✓ I think this is a good place to work because the company offers a supportive environment and clear opportunities for professional growth, such as regular training and mentoring programs.

'is offered' uses passive incorrectly; active 'offers' fits here. 'support' should be adjective 'supportive'. 'a regular training and mentoring programs' mixes singular article with plural noun; remove 'a' and pluralize 'opportunities' to match 'programs'.

× For example, colleges offer the collaborative projects and managers provide constructive feedback.

✓ For example, colleagues offer collaborative projects and managers provide constructive feedback.

'colleges' (educational institutions) is the wrong word; intended word is 'colleagues' (co-workers). Also 'the collaborative projects' can be simplified to 'collaborative projects' unless specific projects are meant.

× Would you like the place where you work?

✓ Do you like the place where you work?

Interviewer intended present preference; 'Would you like' asks about desire rather than opinion. 'Do you like' is the correct simple present form to ask if the student likes their workplace.

× Yes, I do like the place where I work because it's bright, well organized, tidy and Foster and collaborate.

✓ Yes, I like the place where I work because it's bright, well organized, tidy, and fosters collaboration.

'Foster and collaborate' is incorrect form and capitalization: 'Foster' should be verb 'fosters' to agree with singular subject 'it' and should take object 'collaboration'. Use parallel adjective list and correct verb form.

× Collaborative atmosphere that makes a daily task enjoyable.

✓ It has a collaborative atmosphere that makes daily tasks enjoyable.

Sentence fragment missing subject and verb. Add 'It has' and pluralize 'task' to 'tasks' for general meaning.

× For example, having and supporting college and flexible breaks area helps me stay motivated and productive.

✓ For example, having supportive colleagues and a flexible break area helps me stay motivated and productive.

'having and supporting college' is ungrammatical: intended 'supportive colleagues'. 'breaks area' should be 'break area' or 'break room'; add article 'a' before it. Ensure subject-verb agreement: 'having ... helps' is fine.

× I don't want to get stuck at the job I am working now.

✓ I don't want to get stuck in the job I am doing now.

Use 'in the job' idiomatically rather than 'at the job'. 'I am working now' is awkward; 'I am doing now' or 'I have now' reads better. Either 'in the job I'm in now' or 'in the job I'm doing now' are acceptable.

× I am still young so I want to learn as much I can.

✓ I am still young, so I want to learn as much as I can.

Missing 'as' in comparative phrase. Add comma before conjunction for clarity.

× Moreover, I would like to be on my own bus, so I am planning to run my own business next year.

✓ Moreover, I would like to be on my own, so I am planning to run my own business next year.

'be on my own bus' is incorrect phrase; likely intended 'be on my own' (independent) or 'run my own business'. Remove 'bus' and keep 'run my own business'. Sentence otherwise uses future plan appropriately.
