答案及解析:
1.like改為as
as 作為連詞可以用在形容詞前，和動(dòng)詞regard或describe搭配，表示“看作，描述成”。
2.what改為how
這里要表達(dá)的是“怎樣想”，而不是“想什么”，聯(lián)系前一句“how things are done around here”也可以幫助發(fā)現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤。
3.wide改為broad
wide和broad容易錯(cuò)用。表示寬度時(shí)既可用broad，wide，wide更常用，如：a wide river;a broad river。但是表示具體的物件時(shí)只用wide，如 a wide bed，一般不說 a broad bed。 表示生理，概念或范圍時(shí)，要用broad，如：a broad smile、broad shoulders、a broad meaning。
4.include 改為includes
include 的主語是主句主語 corporate culture，所以應(yīng)該是第三人稱的單數(shù)形式。
5.去掉to
address解釋為“對某人說話”時(shí)是及物動(dòng)詞，無需加介詞。
6.after改為until
根據(jù)上下文的邏輯，文章是說，只有當(dāng)求職者真正在公司工作了幾個(gè)月后，才能了解它的文化。
7.去掉the
前文沒有提及，這里research是類指，而非特指。
8.on改為in
這里的介詞并不是和動(dòng)詞spend搭配，而是和名詞詞組work environment一起作狀語。
9.去掉for
fit作為動(dòng)詞時(shí)，如果是及物動(dòng)詞，可以說fit something/somewhere。如果作為形容詞，可以說 be fit for something，但是沒有fit for 的用法。
10.voice前面a
have a voice in something 的意思是“有權(quán)利對某事發(fā)表看法”。這個(gè)詞組中的不定冠詞不能省略。
