Do you work or study?

Comments

    1. Your answer is quite good, but there’s a minor error that needs correction. Here’s your corrected sentence: “I’m afraid my student days are behind me. Now, I’ve been working in sales in the tech industry for the past 6 years.”

      So the two issues were:
      1. Use the correct preposition. It should be ‘in the tech industry’ instead of ‘at tech industry’.
      2. When describing actions that started in the past and are still going on now, we usually use the present perfect continuous tense: ‘I’ve been working’ instead of ‘I’m working… for past 6 years’.

  1. I’m afraid my students’ days are behind me. Currently, I’m unemployed, but I used to work as an English tutor. I’m preparing for my IELTS test, so perhaps being an IELTS instructor is on the horizon.

    1. Your answer is almost perfect! However, there’s one small grammatical error. Here’s the corrected version:

      “I’m afraid my student days are behind me. Currently, I’m unemployed, but I used to work as an English tutor. I’m preparing for my IELTS test, so perhaps becoming an IELTS instructor is on the horizon.”

      Mistake:

      1. You should use “student” instead of “students'” since you’re talking about your own past days as a student.

      Well done, and keep practicing!

  2. Well I used to work in a pharmaceutical industry as a production officer but I recently stepped down from my role to focus better on my future goals as I am looking forward to pursue masters from overseas.

    1. Your response is mostly correct, but there is a slight issue with the phrasing. Your revised answer could be: “Well, I used to work in the pharmaceutical industry as a production officer, but I recently stepped down from my role to focus more on my future goals. Right now, I am planning to pursue a master’s degree overseas.”

      Mistake:
      1. You said “pursue masters”, but the correct phrase is “pursue a master’s degree”.
      2. You’ve used the term “pharmaceutical industry” and not “a pharmaceutical industry”.
      3. The phrase “focus better on my future goals” sounds a bit awkward. It would be more natural to say “focus more on my future goals”.

      Keep up the good work!

    1. Your answer is almost perfect, but it could use a slight tweak for clarity and correctness: “I’m currently unemployed, but I used to work as a potter and ceramic artist for my own business.”

      Remember, when referring to business ownership, we usually say “my own business” rather than just “my own”. Keep practicing, you’re doing great!

  3. I am a planning engineer in a construction company. I have been working here for the better part of two years. I have plans to move to another company for the foreseeable future.

    1. Your answer is almost perfect. There is just a small grammatical mistake in the last sentence. Here’s the corrected version: “I am a planning engineer in a construction company. I have been working here for the better part of two years. I plan to move to another company in the foreseeable future.”

      Just remember that when you’re talking about plans, you should use ‘plan’ instead of ‘have plans’. It’s a small nuance, but it will make your English sound more natural. Keep up the good work!

  4. I’m a stay-at-home parent and I study English. I’ve been doing this for the last two years, but prior to that I used to work in education, teaching Spanish literature in a secondary school.

    1. Your response is almost perfect. Just a small correction:

      “At the moment, I work in a care home as a carer. But in the future, I plan to work as a nurse once I pass my IELTS exam.”

      You used the word “career” instead of “carer”. A career refers to a person’s occupational journey, while a carer is a person who takes care of others, especially because of their age or illness. Also, adding ‘plan to’ makes it sound more certain of your future goals. Keep practicing.

  5. Well, a bit of both actually. I am a university professor. These days I am working for Majmaah university in KSA. I have been working since 2014. I can do some of my work remotely or online. It’s really handy. it’s dead easy to study IELTS in my spare time. So, it’s great l love it.

    1. Your answer is quite good, but there are a couple of small changes I’d suggest. Here’s the revised answer:

      “Well, a bit of both actually. I’m a university professor currently working for Majmaah University in KSA. I’ve been working there since 2014 and I can do some of my work remotely or online, which is really handy. As a result, it’s dead easy for me to study IELTS in my spare time. So, it’s great – I love it.”

      1. Rather than “I am a university professor.”, I would say “I’m a university professor” since it sounds more natural when speaking.
      2. When mentioning the university, don’t forget the “University” part after Majmaah.
      3. The way you express your feeling towards studying IELTS could be improved, I’ve corrected it in the revised answer. Also, watch out for the space before punctuation. You shouldn’t have a space before the hyphen (-) when you write “It’s great – I love it”.

      Keep practicing and improving. Overall, you’re doing well!

  6. Actually, I am a homemaker. However, before I started taking care of my family I was a senior banker. I am seeking new job opportunities and learning english while jog hunting.

    1. Here’s a corrected version of your answer: “Actually, I’m a homemaker. However, before I started taking care of my family, I was a senior banker. Currently, I’m seeking new job opportunities and learning English whilst job hunting.”

      Here are a few areas you could improve:
      1. Remember to capitalize ‘English’ as it is a proper noun.
      2. Be careful with spelling. By ‘jog hunting’ I think you likely meant ‘job hunting’.
      3. Using the word ‘currently’ instead of ‘I am’ could help your sentences flow a bit more naturally.

      Keep practicing, and you will continue to improve!

  7. I am currently unemployed however used to work as caregiver for disabled client , I decided to leave my job so can focus on going back to school to have better career opportunities in the future.

    1. Your answer: “I am currently unemployed, however, I used to work as a caregiver for a disabled client. I decided to leave my job so I can focus on going back to school to have better career opportunities in the future.”

      I’ve corrected your response to: “I am currently unemployed, however, I used to work as a caregiver for a disabled client. I decided to leave my job so I could focus on going back to school and have better career opportunities in the future.”

      Here are the errors I noticed:
      1. You should say “a disabled client” instead of “disabled client”.
      2. Use the past tense “could” instead of “can” since you are speaking about a decision that was made in the past.
      3. I added “and” before “have better career opportunities”, which makes your sentence sound more fluent. Remember when you’re saying two related things you did, you often connect them with “and”. For example, “I left my job and went back to school.”

  8. I’m currently a high school student. I’m going to have a University Entrance Examination next year. Then, I’ll enter university’s life. I tend to study in Economics. I’ll join some part-time jobs in coffee shops to earn more pocket money.

    1. Thank you for your response. Here’s a corrected version:

      “I’m currently a high school student preparing for my University Entrance Examination next year. After that, I’ll transition into university life with a focus on studying Economics. I also plan to take up some part-time jobs in coffee shops to earn some extra pocket money.”

      I noticed three areas for improvement:

      1) “I’m going to have a University Entrance Examination next year.” You can rephrase this to make it sound better; ‘prepare’ makes more sense in this context.
      2) “Then, I’ll enter university’s life.” Instead, it’s better to say “transition into university life.”
      3) “I tend to study in Economics.” Here, you meant to say that you intend to study Economics.

      Keep practicing and you’ll continue to get better. Great job!

    1. Your answer is quite good. There’s just one minor correction to make it even better.

      The corrected version: “Actually, I’m working as a kitchen hand in a Japanese restaurant and also studying business leadership.”

      Mistake:
      1. When talking about your job, you should use “a” before “Japanese restaurant” unless you’ve already mentioned which Japanese restaurant you’re working at.
      2. We use “studying” before the subject or field of study. It should be “studying business leadership” instead of “study about business leadership”.

      Keep practicing, you’re doing great!

  9. Well, I’ve just graduated with a bachelor degree in Business Administration. However, I’ve worked as an English instructor for the better part of 2 years. I’ve been learning IELTS and HSK in order to be an English and Chinese instructor in the foreseeable future.

  10. I work in education. I have been working as a social science teacher in a public school in Delhi for almost three years.I really enjoy teaching students and facilitating them.

    1. Your answer is almost perfect. There is only a small mistake at the end of your response.
      Corrected version: "I work in education. I've been working as a social science teacher in a public school in Delhi for almost three years. I really enjoy teaching students and facilitating their learning."

      Remember, 'facilitating' needs an object to complete the meaning. In your context, you were talking about facilitating their learning process, but make sure to mention it explicitly for clarity. Great job though! Keep practicing.

  11. Yes, I’m currently working as a freelance English teacher. I mostly teach online and spend a lot of time in my study room preparing lessons and giving classes. It’s flexible, and I enjoy being able to manage my own schedule.

  12. I work in education. I’m an English teacher by profession. I’ve been working in Saudi Arabia for nearly 15 years now. I am really passionate about my job. Over the years, it has given me the chance to grow both personally and professionally. I am really happy to help students to develop their language skills and build their confidence.

  13. Right now, I’m a stay-at-home parent. However, before I become a full time mother taking care of a newborn baby, I used to work as a nurse in an aesthetic clinic.

  14. I work as a fitness trainer at the gym with adult people, and at the same time, I am stay-at-home mom to take care of my family as a part-time job.

    1. Your answer is good, but there’s a slight mismatch in verb tenses. Here’s a corrected version:

      “I work as a fitness trainer at the gym with adults, and at the same time, I’m a stay-at-home mom taking care of my family as a part-time job.”

      Remember:
      1. It’s better to say ‘adults’ instead of ‘adult people’.
      2. Use similar tense consistency throughout the sentence. Using ‘I am’ and ‘taking’ in the second part of your sentence aligns with ‘I work’ in the first part.
      3. It’s great that you used ‘part-time job’ to express not only do you take care of your family but you also value this time and treat it as an important job. Keep up the excellent work!

  15. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. However, before I started taking care of my daughter full-time, I used to work in the healthcare sector as a physiotherapist.

  16. I am afraid my student days are behind me. It has been approximately 20 tears since I graduated from State Tax University, which is one of the biggest and well-equipped universities in Ukraine. Currently I work as the head of the office at the ministry of taxes. I have been working at this ministry for about 15 years. Simultaneously, I am running my own business.

    1. Your response is mostly fine, however, there is a typo that you should correct. Here’s the improved version:

      “I’m afraid my student days are behind me. It’s been approximately 20 years since I graduated from State Tax University, which is one of the biggest and well-equipped universities in Ukraine. Currently, I work as the head of the office at the Ministry of Taxes. I’ve been working at this ministry for about 15 years. Simultaneously, I’m running my own business.”

      Just remember to double check your typing to avoid misspelling words like “years”. Great job overall!

  17. I am afraid my student days are behind me. I am currently working as a sale admin in a jewelry company, and I am highly in charge of taking responsibility for selecting and judging new styles for the company as well as meeting the demands from my customers. In addition, I wear many hats at the same time like organizing campaigns related to jewelry promotions.

    1. Your answer is quite good and clear, but there are some minor errors. Here’s the corrected version:

      “I’m afraid my student days are behind me. I currently work as a sales admin in a jewelry company where I am primarily responsible for selecting and evaluating new styles for the company, as well as meeting customer demands. I also wear many hats, like organizing campaigns related to jewelry promotions.”

      1. Use “sales admin” instead of “sale admin”.
      2. Use “primarily responsible for” instead of “highly in charge of”. The former is more accurate in this context.
      3. Use “evaluating” instead of “judging”, as it’s more appropriate in a professional setting.

      Great job, keep practicing!

  18. I actually do both. I work part-time as a cleaner at Brisbane Airport, and I’m also pursuing an advanced diploma in IT at Albright Institute here in the city.

    1. Thanks for your answer. Here are the corrected sentences:

      “I work as an English teacher at a primary school. Before that, I worked at a kindergarten.”

      Remember to start a new sentence with a capital letter, and your spelling of “kindergarten” was slightly off. It’s great that you were able to concisely provide relevant information in response to the question though. Keep practicing!

  19. I have just finished my English teaching and about to get its major degree. Because of my passion for teaching kids with higher skill level, I tend to learn more about Master Degree in TESOL.

    1. Your response is good overall but there’s some confusion in your sentence structure. Here’s a corrected version of your response: “I have just finished my studies in English teaching and am about to receive my degree. Because of my passion for teaching kids at a higher skill level, I plan to pursue a Master’s Degree in TESOL.”

      Points to be improved:
      1. Use “receive” instead of “get” for a degree
      2. “I plan to” is more suitable than “I tend to” when talking about future actions
      3. Don’t forget to use an apostrophe when abbreviating “Master’s Degree”!

  20. I worked as a Speech and Language Therapist at Nuffield school for the deaf and blind, Kaithady, Jaffna, Srilanka. But I resigned from the position after my marriage.

    1. Your answer is pretty good and clear. However, the verb tenses should be improved for clarity.

      Corrected version: “I used to work as a Speech and Language Therapist at Nuffield School for the Deaf and Blind in Kaithady, Jaffna, Srilanka. However, I quit the job after getting married.”

      1. When referring to things in the past that are no longer true, it’s more accurate to use “used to” instead of just past simple.
      2. As a rule of thumb, prepositions should be followed by a noun. So, “after my marriage” should be revised to “after getting married.”

      Keep up the good work!

    1. Your answer is clear and natural sounding, so well done on that! However, remember to maintain a positive attitude as an English speaker. Instead of focusing on the negativity around math, you could say something like, “I work as a teacher, specifically a math teacher. I know math can be challenging, but I really enjoy helping my students understand it.” This way, you steer the conversation in a more positive direction while also giving a bit more detail about what you do. Here are a few minor corrections as well:

      “I work as a teacher, actually a math teacher. Oh, please don’t say you hate math, because everywhere I go, I always find someone saying that.”

      In your sentence, the comma after “everywhere I go” was missing.

    1. Your answer is almost perfect, just one small mistake:

      Corrected version: “I work as a primary teacher at a reputable school. I have been working here for 5 years.”

      The word should be “primary” instead of “preprimamary”.

      Keep up the good work!

    1. Your response is correct. You’ve answered the question “Do you work or study?” perfectly. There are no errors, and the details you’ve included about your work are clear and easily understood. Good job! Keep up the excellent work!

    1. Your answer is great, and I don’t see any mistakes! You delivered your response clearly and presented your past experience and present situation well. Good job! Keep going with your practice and you’ll do just fine in your IELTS exam. You might want to check out englishprotips.com for more helpful tips.

  21. I used to work as an emergency doctor in Istanbul but I’ve recently quit from this job. Now I study English and work as an occupational physician in a company for part-time.

        1. Hi there! You’re doing well but here’s how you might revise your response:

          “Yes, I do. I currently work as a mason, and I’m also studying for high school at the moment.”

          1. Using “Absolutely” to start the sentence is a bit strange in this context. Instead, you can just begin with “Yes, I do”.
          2. “While” isn’t the best choice here. It is used to show two events happening at the same time and is typically used with continuous actions. In your case, it’s better to use “and” because you are simply listing two different activities that you do.
          3. Your use of the phrase “for high school right now” sounds a bit off. It’s more natural to say “I’m also studying in high school at the moment”.

          Keep practicing!

            1. It seems like there’s a bit of a mix-up in your response. Your revised answer could be: “I think you may have confused my statement when I typed it.”

              Here are the three main mistakes in your initial response:

              1. Word order: You should say “I think” not “Think you”.

              2. Missing words: “may have” was missing from your sentence.

              3. Verb tense: Instead of “typing”, you should use “typed”.

              With these in mind, you should now be able to answer the question “Do you work or study?” properly. For example: “I currently work” or “I am currently studying”.

    1. Your answer is good, although it needs a slight modification to be perfect. Here’s the corrected version:

      “I have just graduated with a diploma in Early Childhood Education & Care.”

      This minor correction can make a big difference and ensure that your answer is grammatically accurate. Good job and keep practicing!

    1. Thanks for your submission. Good job expressing your current employment status and your previous work, but there is a small grammatical error in your answer. Here’s a corrected version of it:

      You must use “as” after “work” when you are mentioning the job title that you used to do. Keep practicing!

        1. I study Accounting, currently in my second year. But I also work part-time as a private tutor for high school students.

          1. “working” should be changed to “work”.
