Winning the Contract Despite Challenges
What I Said:
My wife is sick because she spent all of her power this week for the case. This time we won the contract. Although we didn’t get much money from this contract — maybe can’t cover the efforts for preparation, but it is still a good process.
ChatGPT’s Revision:
My wife is sick because she gave all her energy this week to the case. This time, we won the contract. Although we didn’t make much money from it — maybe not even enough to cover the preparation efforts — it’s still progress and a step forward.
Fixes and Explanations:
-
“she spent all of her power this week for the case” → “she gave all her energy this week to the case”
“Gave all her energy” is more natural than “spent all of her power,” which sounds awkward in English.
-
“This time we won the contract”
This part is good, so no changes were needed.
-
“Although we didn’t get much money from this contract” → “Although we didn’t make much money from it”
“Make much money” is more conversational than “get much money.” Simplified “this contract” to “it” for better flow.
-
“maybe can’t cover the efforts for preparation” → “maybe not even enough to cover the preparation efforts”
Rephrased for better grammar and smoother phrasing.
-
“but it is still a good process” → “it’s still progress and a step forward”
“Progress and a step forward” feels more positive and impactful than “a good process.”
