Accreditation Challenges: Asking for Help
What I Said:
I started working on the accreditation for our company. There was four need me to enroll them. I was gonna do from ITSM. And I thought it can be finished soon but a half of day later, I found I was too naive. It was not easy to maintain, need spend lots of days for each one. So I asked Yien to help me maintain them together.
ChatGPT’s Revision:
I started working on the accreditation for our company. There were four I needed to enroll in, and I planned to start with ITSM. I thought it would be quick, but after half a day, I realized I was too naive. Maintaining them isn’t easy—it’ll take several days for each. So, I asked Yien to help me handle them together.”
Fixes and Explanations:
-
“There was four need me to enroll them” → “There were four I needed to enroll in”
Adjusted subject-verb agreement (“was” → “were”) and clarified “need me to enroll them” to “I needed to enroll in.”
-
“I was gonna do from ITSM” → “I planned to start with ITSM”
“Planned to start with” is clearer and smoother than “gonna do from.”
-
“I thought it can be finished soon but a half of day later” → “I thought it would be quick, but after half a day”
Changed “can” to “would” for correct tense, and “a half of day later” to “after half a day” for natural phrasing.
-
“I found I was too naive”
Kept as is. It’s concise and conveys emotion well.
-
“It was not easy to maintain, need spend lots of days for each one” → “Maintaining them isn’t easy—it’ll take several days for each”
Simplified the sentence for smoother flow and clarity.
-
“So I asked Yien to help me maintain them together” → “So, I asked Yien to help me handle them together”
“Handle” fits better than “maintain” in this context.
