Unemployment: day 44
Today I signed a contract about JOCV training. It was done by an electric contract. An e-contract company sent e-mail to me, and I followed the instructions. The procedure will be finished for about one week, so I will be able to download the contract as a PDF file.

IELTS Improvement Points
Collocation:
sign a contract
→ The correct collocation. “Sign a construction” is incorrect because construction means “building works.”
completed in about a week
→ A natural way to describe when a process will finish. More formal and precise than “finished for about one week.”
follow the instructions
→ Standard collocation, frequently used in academic, workplace, and exam contexts.
Template:
After which, [subject + verb] …
→ A cohesive device to connect sentences formally. Example: The application will be processed within ten days, after which you will receive confirmation.
[Something] was processed by [system/organisation].
→ Useful passive form to describe official or digital procedures in IELTS Writing Task 1 and Task 2.
Vocabulary:
contract
→ Correct word for an agreement. More precise than construction in this context.
procedure
→ Appropriate formal word to describe a series of official steps.
electronic system / e-service company
→ Natural way to describe digital platforms instead of “electric construction.”
