Today I had an English interview for QuestDB. I am comfortable with reading English articles, listening people speaking english.
But it's not easy for me to express, especially talking.
The interview is a disaster, I think I made tons of grammar mistakes, failing to express my ideas. So it ends quickly.

问题

  1. "people speaking english"应改为"people speaking English"。
  2. "But it's not easy for me to express, especially talking"应改为"But it's not easy for me to express myself, especially when speaking".
  3. "So it ends quickly"应改为"So it ended quickly"。

Today I had an English interview for QuestDB. I feel confident in my ability to read English articles and understand spoken English. However, expressing myself, especially in conversation, is challenging for me. Unfortunately, the interview did not go well. I believe I made numerous grammar mistakes and struggled to articulate my ideas effectively, resulting in a quick conclusion.

I still remember when I took my cat to home from hangzhou last year, he was cautious and dare not to leave me.
When I was working in front of the desk, he would just lie near me on the desk.

I still remember when I brought my cat home from Hangzhou last year. He was very cautious and didn't dare to leave my side. Whenever I was working at my desk, he would simply lie down nearby.

I was not allergic to my cat in the first 4 years.
But one day, suddenly, I started to feel itchy in my nose and started sneezying.
Sometimes, the synptoms may become even more severe and I can be tearing up.

问题

  • "allergic to my cat" 可以改为 "allergic to cats"
  • "sneezying" 应该是 "sneezing"
  • "synptoms" 应该是 "symptoms"
  • "tearing up" 可以使用更具体的表达方式
