Hi, I am an English teacher, I have been using these lessons to teach my intermedia, and upper students to help them with their job interviews abroad. thanks to oxford online English.
I have been learning English for 7 years but the skill of my speaking is never improved because I don't have chances to talk to someone in English and now it's more difficult to do it than before during the quarantine but those people who are listening to your lessons are very lucky because the technology has already helped us to solve the problem. By the way I wish everything must return to normal as soon as possible!
No u English so good
we may practice
Thanks for your invitation but i don't know how to answer your questions in Spanish. Emm maybe i can try🙂

Hi Rashmi. Thanks for watching and sharing your response. Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...from Uttrakhand but was born and brought up in Delhi,' not, '...from uttrakhand but born n bought up in Delhi'.
2) '...whenever I get time,' not, 'I got'.
3) 'It's one of the beset places in India...' not, 'It's one of the best place in India...'
Hope this is useful for you!
I have always been a researcher one day even i was a little. My favourite subject throughout the University was pharmacology. But now I am applying for clinical pharmacy and pharmacology because i would like to go aboard for higher studies. I think this subject would be best for me to complete my dream.
Thanks for sharing, Kaniz. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) It is better to say something like, 'I have always been a researcher, even when I was little,' not, 'I have always been a researcher one day even i was a little.'
2) It's not necessary to capitalize 'university' unless you are talking about a specific university's name.
3) 'Always capitalize 'I' in a sentence: '...because I would like to...'
Hope this helps you!
I appreciate you as a useful lesson🙏

I am glad I could practice my language skills because of you. I appreciate you all. I would like to try to approach this question. Here is my answer!
Hi! I am Nang Shwe Li Tun, 23 years old. I am from Taunggyi, a small city in Myanmar. My parents moved a lot of cities for their jobs while I was young, so I got amazing childhood by travelling. Now, I am waiting for my graduation result from West Yangon Technological University to be an electric engineer but it is not quite simple especially during these current situations in Myanmar. Even though I am not graduated yet, I started working for a local ISP company as a NOC engineer. I hope I could achieve my dreams after these crises.
We're glad you enjoyed the lesson! Thanks for sharing your response. Here are some tips:
1) 'I am Nang Shwe Li Tun and am 23 years old,' is a bit better than, 'I am Nang Shwe Li Tun, 23 years old.'
2) '...so I had an amazing childhood travelling around,' not, '...so I got amazing childhood by travelling.'
3) 'I hope I can achieve my dreams...' not, 'could.'
Hope this helps you!
Hlo sir.
I'm Dolly. I'm 18 years old. I'm currently living in an apartment with my parents. As for as my qualifications is concerned.
I have 12th passed. I'm pursuing graduation.
I have seven mamber in my family. I'm middle one. My father is a teacher and mom is homemaker. I like dancing and read books.
My strongest point is that I can learn from my atmosphere and my weakest point is that I can believe in people so easily.
Great answer! Here are some corrections for you:
1) 'As far as my qualifications are concerned, I have...' not, 'As for as my qualifications is concerned. I have...'.
2) 'I have passed 12th grade,' not, 'I have 12th passed'.
3) 'I have seven members in my family,' not, 'I have seven mamber in my family'.

My name is Arzun Arif and I'm originally from Bulgaria, but I've been living here in England for 1 year now.
I'm currently unemployed because the agency I was working for went out of business last month due to the COVID-19 crisis. Given the fact I am already a qualified teacher and I've worked as a teacher, I've decided to start teaching again. After several applications, screening tests and interviews with school directors, I've been selected for a role in a high school in Bourgas (a large city on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast).
I have a starting position in September.
Hi Arzun, thanks for sharing! You wrote an excellent response. Here is a correction for you:

My name's Thao Vy. I'm 28 years old. I'm originally from Vietnam. Currently, I'm living in Binh Chanh which is a suburban area of Ho Chi Minh City. I work as an English teacher at a foreign language center near my house. Teaching is my passion and I've been doing it for more than three years now. I'm interested in doing continuing professional development courses for teachers on FutureLearn. I'm thinking of taking a Master's course in TESOL because I want to develop my teaching skills and teach English at universities.
Glad you liked it, Vy Ngo! You wrote a fantastic response here. There is one recommendation for you:
- It's not necessary to capitalize 'master's' unless you are using it in the full name of the degree: '...thinking of getting a Master's in TESOL'.
Hope this helps you!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Thanks for your recommendation! 🙂
