Who is your boss? What is he like?

My boss is a woman about 10 years older than me. She is very good at English and easy to talk to about the work, so I'm really glad she was my boss. I hear that there are bosses who don't hide their bad mood or sarcastic bosses, but she is not.

自然な表現

My boss is a woman about 10 years older than me. She is very good at English and easy to talk to about  work, so I'm happy she is my boss. I hear that there are bosses who don't hide their bad moods or sarcastic bosses, but she is not.

1. The definite article is redundant here.
2. This is a better word choice
3. Use the present tense here.
4. Use the plural form when you are referring to more than one thing.
I'm really happy for you. You are right. Good natured bosses are rare, especially those who can really lead and manage people. How long have you been working for her?

I've been working for her for 5 years. As far as I can remember, I've never seen her angry or bellowing. There are a few of her subordinates, including me, but I've never heard of anyone complaining about her.

1. This is better word phrasing.
That's a very positive sign. What have you learned from her in terms of your work and her leadership?

She is a person who can express her opinion clearly and change her opinion flexibly as needed. She is also good at English and has a lot of knowledge, and she is still studying. I would like to emulate these her attitudes towards the work.

3 and 5. This is a better word choice
So her leadership style is approachable and flexible. Can you also describe her appearance? Is she tall? Is she stylish?

She is not tall. She is petite and has a rather cute impression. Also, she is a person who often laughs.

1. This is just an additional expression.
These are very good attributes in a boss. What have you learned from her in terms of fashion and style?

It is a difficult question. As a research and development group, I wear work clothes during work. Therefore, I am free to wear plain clothes, so I commute to work in my favorite clothes.
