Work— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Good clear response with relevant details and a topic sentence. To improve, shorten slightly to avoid redundancy and add a concise linking phrase to show duration and role (e.g., “for the past two years”). Use one sentence for role and one for specifics.

Ví dụ: I have been working as a mathematics teacher at a secondary school in Thailand for the past two years. I currently teach students in grades 7 to 9.

Gợi ý: Direct and simple answer with location details. To improve, combine the ideas into one fluent sentence and add a brief reason or impression to make it more informative (use a linking word like “and” or “which”).

Ví dụ: I work at a large public high school in Thailand, which is located next to an elementary school and a temple.

Gợi ý: The answer is relevant but too long, repetitive and slightly unclear. Improve by stating a clear topic sentence (Yes/No or partly), then give one or two specific reasons with concise linking words. Avoid repeating "weekends."

Ví dụ: It’s a mixed experience: the school is rewarding, but it can be tiring because I sometimes have to work weekends for events such as English, math and science camps.

Gợi ý: Positive answer with good reasons, but somewhat wordy and repetitive about commuting. Improve by giving one clear topic sentence and one concise supporting detail using a linking word like “because” or “so.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I like working there because the commute is very convenient: the school is on a main road, so I can get off public transport nearby and walk to work.

Gợi ý: Answer conveys intent but is repetitive and has grammatical errors. Improve by giving a clear topic sentence and one or two specific goals, using linking words (e.g., “but” or “and”) and correct tense and phrasing.

Ví dụ: I don’t have definite career plans yet because I’m concentrating on gaining experience at my current school, but I would like to develop teaching and classroom-management skills that will help me later.

× I have been working as a mathematics teacher in a secondary school in Thailand for two years now.

✓ I have worked as a mathematics teacher at a secondary school in Thailand for two years.

The original uses present perfect continuous which is acceptable, but 'have worked' is more natural for duration with 'for two years' in this context; also use of article and preposition: 'at a secondary school' is the usual collocation. Suggestion: use 'have worked' or 'have been working' consistently and 'at' with 'school'.

× I'm currently teaching mathematics for grade 7 to grade 9.

✓ I'm currently teaching mathematics to grades 7 to 9.

Use 'to' with a range of grades and plural 'grades'. Also 'grades 7 to 9' is the correct phrase. Suggestion: say 'to grades 7 to 9' or 'for grades 7–9'.

× I work in a big public high school in Thailand.

✓ I work at a large public high school in Thailand.

Both 'in' and 'at' can be used, but 'at a ... high school' is more natural when referring to place of employment. Also 'large' is a more natural collocation than 'big' in formal responses. Suggestion: use 'at' and 'large' for a smoother phrasing.

× It's near an elementary school and a temple.

✓ It's near an elementary school and a temple.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. (Kept for completeness.)

× When it comes to work, it's really tiring because there are sometimes that I need to work on the weekends because there are some camps such as English camp, math camp, science camp and other extracurricular activities that are held on the weekends so.

✓ When it comes to work, it's really tiring because sometimes I need to work on the weekends for camps such as English camp, math camp, science camp and other extracurricular activities that are held on weekends.

Original has redundant and awkward phrasing: 'there are sometimes that I need' is incorrect; place adverb 'sometimes' before the verb. Remove repeated 'because' and redundant 'there are'. Also avoid ending with 'so'. Suggestion: streamline sentences, place adverbs properly, and avoid repetition.

× Yes, I like the place where I work because it's pretty convenient to commute from my apartment going there.

✓ Yes, I like the place where I work because it's quite convenient to commute from my apartment to there.

Original mixes 'from my apartment going there' which is ungrammatical. Use the preposition 'to' after 'from ... to ...' or rephrase 'to commute to work from my apartment'. Also 'quite' is preferable to 'pretty' in formal speech. Suggestion: say 'to commute to work from my apartment' for clarity.

× It's also along the road so when I ride the public transportation and drop off nearby, I can just walk across and it's my workplace.

✓ It's also along the road, so when I take public transportation and get off nearby, I can just walk across to my workplace.

Use 'take public transportation' rather than 'ride', and 'get off' instead of 'drop off' (which is passive). Add 'to' before 'my workplace'. Punctuation and clause connection improved. Suggestion: use correct verbs for using transport and include 'to' for destination.

× I haven't thought about any future work plans yet because right now I'm focused on working gaining experience in my current company.

✓ I haven't thought about any future work plans yet because right now I'm focused on gaining work experience in my current school.

'Working gaining experience' is ungrammatical; use 'focused on gaining experience'. Also 'company' is odd for a school—use 'school' or 'institution'. Suggestion: use the gerund after 'focused on' and choose the correct noun for workplace.

× I also would like I also like to work on my skills that I can I might need in the future.

✓ I would also like to work on the skills I might need in the future.

Original repeats phrases and misorders modals. Remove duplication, place 'also' appropriately, and use 'the skills I might need' without extra 'I can'. Suggestion: simplify and avoid repeating the same clause; keep modal position natural ('might' before verb phrase).
