I do not know where could I find a good job Commented [U1]: Change in tense does not fix the
problem. The grammar problem was not fixed.
I think that in this case we should use “could” because it expresses possibility, while “will”
expresses definiteness.
The use of the present continuous sounds awkward in this situation. I think that the simple
present with a future meaning is more suitable. I also think that in this situation the
collocation “native’s countries” may sound strange so I would change it by “homeland” or
“country of origin” Commented [U2]: No serious problem with the use of
present continue; why ‘native’s “ sounds strange to
you?
3. Students are offered different Master’s programs that you can choose
Students are offered different Master’s programs that they can choose Commented [U3]: OK, + a preposition is usually used
after the verb ‘choose’
The reader is addressed in this sentence and the use of “You” does not sound formal while
discussing something. So I would replace it by the correspondent pronoun. If the writer is
using the British spelling, he or she had to write “programmes” rather than “programs”. Commented [U4]: What makes you think so?
4. Even though when people have a Master’s degree, they may not find a good job
Even if someone has a Master’s degree, he or she may not find a good job
In this sentence I consider to sound more natural the use of “Even if” rather than “even
though” because of the meaning that we want the reader to infer. I have also omitted “when”
because it is a collocation brought from Spanish and in English it does not sounds natural
when we put it after “Even though”. I have replaced “people” by “someone” because the
agreement with the following subject is easier made. Commented [U5]: Can you tell the difference:
-even though
-even if
5. I was advised of doing this Master’s degree to improve -even when
?
There are two wrong collocations. The first one “Advised of” should be replaced by “advise
to + verb” or “advise on something”. I think that the second collocation, “do a Master’s Commented [U6]: OK
degree”, should be replaced by “take a Master’s degree·. In addition to this I think that after Commented [U7]: did you check this collocation?
the verb “improve”, something should be added because it is a transitive verb. Commented [U8]: OK
