× I was international students in Canada a couple years ago.
✓ I was an international student in Canada a couple of years ago.
这里的主语是单数第一人称“I”,所以“students”应改为单数形式“student”。另外,“a couple years ago”应改为“a couple of years ago”,表示“几年前”。
× I'm a freelance.
✓ I'm a freelancer.
“freelance”是形容词或副词,表示自由职业的,名词形式应为“freelancer”。
× Oh, you're like, I work at home, which means I have a flexible time, but sometimes when I work with the, uh, foreigner and I have to get up very early or stay up very late because we have the time gap.
✓ Oh, I work at home, which means I have flexible time, but sometimes when I work with foreigners, I have to get up very early or stay up very late because we have a time difference.
“you're like”不合适,应去掉;“foreigner”应使用复数形式“foreigners”;“the time gap”应改为“a time difference”,更符合表达习惯。
× Yes, I have a great patient on my work.
✓ Yes, I have great patience in my work.
“patient”是“病人”,应使用“patience”表示“耐心”;“a great patient”错误,且“patience”不可数。
× All of my colleague they uh, same age of me, so they're very easy going.
✓ All of my colleagues are the same age as me, so they're very easy-going.
“colleague”应为复数“colleagues”;“they”与前面重复,应去掉;“same age of me”应改为“the same age as me”;“easy going”应连写为“easy-going”。
× I like my place where I work because it's based in my hometown, but I'm not your local to office because we usually work at home.
✓ I like the place where I work because it's based in my hometown, but I'm not a local to the office because we usually work at home.
“my place”改为“the place”更自然;“your local to office”错误,应为“a local to the office”。
× I think I need to improve my skill from my colleague who has a variety experience.
✓ I think I need to improve my skills from my colleagues who have a variety of experience.
“skill”应为复数“skills”;“colleague”应为复数“colleagues”;“a variety experience”应为“a variety of experience”。
