1. 5. Remove these words because they are redundant.
2. In English, we usually say "changed jobs" in the plural form when talking about moving from one company to another.
Also 2. Alternatively, you can also say: switched jobs

4. The correct pattern is "chance + to + base verb."
6. 9. Do not capitalize this word since it does not begin the sentence.

It’s great that your new job gives you more opportunities to use English. Having regular conversations with coworkers can help you improve naturally. What kind of English situation at work do you find the most challenging?

I work as a system engineer. So I have to explain some problems of functionality specifically. I always struggle to recall vocabulary regarding IT technology.

I work as a systems engineer, so I have to explain specific functional issues in detail. I always struggle to recall the right IT vocabulary during these explanations.

4. 5. These words make the sentence easier to understand.
6. Put this word here for fluency.
7. Add these words to complete the meaning.
Explaining technical IT issues clearly can be tough, especially when trying to find the exact terms under pressure. Practice with specific scenarios really helps. What specific IT terms or situations do you find most difficult to explain?

First, I don't know adequate words which describe the situation exactly in English.
Second, I don't have any skills to explain specifically. I am usually helped by the interpreter.
Even if I don't ask the interpreter, I am always helped by them.

自然な表現

First, I don't always know the right vocabulary to explain a situation clearly. Second, I struggle with explaining technical details smoothly. Because of this, I'm usually helped by an interpreter. Even if I don't ask them to, they actually support me automatically.

1. Add this word to complete the meaning.
2. 4. 5. 11. These words make the sentence easier to understand.
3. 8. Use "a/an" before singular and nonspecific nouns. 
6. Add these words for a smooth transition.
7. For consistency, contract these words as well.
9. Use the pronoun in place of the noun to avoid repetition.
10. The correct collocation is "ask someone to do something."

Relying on an interpreter is helpful, but wanting to communicate directly is a great goal! Practicing common technical terms will build your confidence. Would you like to practice explaining a simple system error or bug together right now?

Yes,please.
And also, I wanna be able to explain how to solve system errors. I had been learning about IT technology in Japanese. So I have to learn so much vocabulary regarding IT Technology in English.

Learning tech terms in English after studying them in Japanese is a huge step! Let us start simple. How would you explain a basic issue, like a server crashing or a database connection error, to a coworker without an interpreter?

Usually,troubleshooting is complicated.So, I try to explain background first.And then we discuss the reasons which were likely happened.
