I would like to talk about my old manager, Aziza, who I work withLỗi thì: phải là “worked with” for about two years at my first job after university.

She was a very goodLặp lại tính từ cơ bản; hạn chế điểm Lexical Resource manager and also a very kind person. She never made me feel stupid when I ask a question, even if I ask same question two times. She was very down-to-earth too — for someone quite senior, she sitLỗi thì: phải là “sat” with junior staff at lunch instead of eating alone, which is a small thing but it say a lot about her, you know.

Band 7

I’d like to talk about my former manager, Aziza, who I worked under for around two years at my first job after university. I got to know her well because she was responsible for training new staff, so I saw her almost daily, especially during the first few months when I genuinely had no idea what I was doing. What stood out about her wasn’t one dramatic thing, but a pattern — she never made me feel stupid for asking a question, even the same one twice, and despite being fairly senior, she was remarkably down-to-earth, often sitting with junior staffsDanh từ không đếm được thêm đuôi số nhiều at lunch rather than eating separately. There was one moment I still remember clearlyDiscourse marker tự nhiên, mở đầu phần kể: I made an error on a client report, expecting to be reprimanded — or, well, at least told off firmlyTự sửa lời tự nhiên giữa câu — but instead she sat with me calmly, helped me correct it, and simply said mistakes are how people actually learn the job.

I’d like to talk about my former manager, Aziza, under whom I workedMệnh đề quan hệ đặt lên đầu, cấu trúc tinh tế for roughly two years in my first job after university. I came to know her well because she was responsible for training new staff, so I saw her almost daily, particularly during those early months when I genuinely hadn’t a clueCách diễn đạt mang tính thành ngữ, tự nhiên what I was doing. What struck me about her wasn’t any single dramatic gesture but a consistent pattern of behaviourDiscourse marker tự nhiên, giúp sắp xếp phần kể — she never once made me feel foolish for asking a question, even the same one twice, and despite her seniority, she remained strikingly unpretentious, often sitting with junior staff at lunch instead of eating separately. Having made an error on a client report and bracing myself for a reprimand, I instead found her sitting calmly beside meMệnh đề phân từ mở đầu một câu phức, helping me put it right, and simply remarking that mistakes are how people genuinely learn a job. What inspired me most was that rare combination of patience and consistently high standards — she never let expectations slip, yet she never penalised honest effort eitherCấu trúc song song cân đối, đối lập chính xác.
