Professionele leerkrachtA question that seems simple—but reveals a lot about your English level:
👉 **“What do you do?”**
Many learners answer like this:
❌ “I am working in a company.”
❌ “I work at marketing.”
❌ “I do job of sales.”
❌ “I am doing a business.”
These sentences are understandable… but they don’t sound natural in real conversations.
Here’s how native speakers usually respond:
✅ “I work in marketing.”
✅ “I’m in sales.”
✅ “I run a small business.”
✅ “I work for a tech company.”
What’s the difference?
It’s not about difficult grammar—it’s about **natural phrasing and collocations**:
✔ We say “work in” (not *work at marketing*)
✔ We say “I’m in sales” (not *I do job of…*)
✔ We say “run a business” (not *doing a business*)
These small details are what make your English sound fluent instead of translated.
Now let’s practice 👇

Answer the question: “What do you do?”
Write your answer in 1–2 sentences. I’ll help you improve it so it sounds natural, clear, and confident.
✨ Fluency is not about using big words—it’s about using the *right* words in the right way.
