My Previous Job (1)
I (2) had been working worked in (*) a (3) teachers' union for (4) seven years but resigned (4) eight months ago.In my last job, I was responsible for environmental education training programs. I had planned some projects, organised talks by excellent presenters, then invited (*) the teachers' union members to join these activities. We had held night observation courses to watch owls, land crabs, fireflies and so on (5). I also attended meetings with environmentalists to advocate environmental protection on behalf of my organization. Such meetings included preserving a nature trail, discussing disposal of nuclear waste and the issue of air pollution.Hi Joy,
I have some suggestions for your writing:
(1) There are different style of capitalising titles. In general, we capitalise the first letter of each word, with the exception of articles (e.g. a, an, the), prepositions (e.g. of, on, for) and coordinating conjunctions (e.g. and, but).
(2) You are referring to an action that started in the past, took place for a period of time, and ended in the past. To express this meaning, we can use the past perfect continuous tense (i.e had been working).
(3) The union belongs to the teachers. Therefore, it is a teachers' union.
(4) This is more of a guideline than a rule: for small numbers, we express them using words.
Look at this example: There are four possible answers for these ten multiple-choice questions. (correct) / There are 4 possible answers for these 10 multiple-choice questions. (the sentence can still be understood, but it distracts the reader with a mixture of words and numbers.)
(5) You are already using "so on" to indicate an non-exhaustive list. Therefore, you do not need "...".
(*) When we introduce a noun for the first time to our reader, we use the indefinite article "a". When we describe the noun again, we use the definite article "the" because the reader already has a common understanding of what we are exactly talking about.
Example:
We are proud to announce the arrival of a new software. The software will revolutionise the way we...
I hope this helps you.
