My English
I've been studying English since I was six years old because I love it. Admittedly, it was a compulsory subject at school, but I've always been interested in it, especially when I started to use it at work. However, I never studied at an English institute until seven years ago, more or less. I sat a test, and was placed in the middle of the program, so that was cool. My English wasn't as bad as I'd imagined, after all.
I worked for a multi-national company and used some English, which mostly consisted of writing email, checking web sites and taking phone calls; but not everyday.
Now I'm going to work in an office again, as Assistant Manager. However, I've not spoken English for three years, so I'll need to improve my writing, sentence structure and speaking skills.
When I wrote this text, I didn't cheat, by using a dictionary or the internet to check my English.
See you guys!
I have been studying English since I was six years old because I love it. Okay, it is a mandatory subject in my school, but I have always been interested in it, especially when I started to work and use it, but I did not study in an English institute until about seven years ago, more or less. I took a test, and I was placed in the middle of the program, so it was cool to know that My English wasn't so bad after all.
I had worked for a multi-national company, and did speak some English there, but the most experience I had using English consisted of writing email, checking web sites, and taking phone calls. But this was not everyday.
Now I'm going to work as an office assistant again, but I have not spoken English for three years, so I think I need to improve in writing complete sentences and speaking.
When I wrote these words I didn't use a dictionary or the internet to check my English. I did not cheat.
Jessica: practice spelling single-digit numerals. When you describe an event that happened in the past that continues into another action, such as "I worked at a company and spoke English there..." you were right to use the past perfect tense instead of the simple past tense, but when we use the past perfect, we should continue the follow-on action in the same sentence. See the edits I made. Remember that a complete sentence can not be a dependant clause such as: "No cheating." Consider placing commas before the words: [and], [but], and [so]. Very good writing, Jessica.
