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.
Your response is excellent with no grammatical errors. It’s clear and concise. You’re doing great work! Continue answering this way and you’ll do well. Keep practicing and keep up the good work!
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.
You nailed this answer! You've given a concise response explaining where you work, what you do, for how long, and how much you enjoy it. I can't see any mistakes in your answer. Keep it up!
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.
Your answer seems really good and I can't see any mistakes in it. Remember to continue elaborating on your answers like you did here, as it helps to showcase your English skills. Keep practicing!
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.
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.
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.
Your answer is excellent, and I can't see any mistakes. You have clarified your academic status and further given some detail about your work experience and future goals, which is impressive. Good job! Keep practicing like this.
actually, I am working as a kitchen hand in the Japanese restaurant and also study about business leadership
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!
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.
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!
