【答案】

1. like改为as

as 作为连词可以用在形容词前，和动词regard或describe搭配，表示“看作，描述成”。

2. what改为how

这里要表达的是“怎样想”，而不是“想什么”，联系前一句“how things are done around here”也可以帮助发现错误。

3. wide改为broad

wide和broad容易错用。表示宽度时既可用broad，wide，wide更常用，如：a wide river；a broad river。但是表示具体的物件时只用wide，如 a wide bed，一般不说 a broad bed。 表示生理，概念或范围时，要用broad，如：a broad smile、broad shoulders、a broad meaning。

4. include改为includes

include的主语是主句主语corporate culture，所以应该是第三人称的单数形式。

5. 去掉to

address解释为“对某人说话”时是及物动词，无需加介词。

6. after改为until

根据上下文的逻辑，文章是说，只有当求职者真正在公司工作了几个月后，才能了解它的文化。

7. 去掉the

前文没有提及，这里research是类指，而非特指。

8. on改为in

这里的介词并不是和动词spend搭配，而是和名词词组work environment一起作状语。

9. 去掉for

fit作为动词时，如果是及物动词，可以说fit something/somewhere。如果作为形容词，可以说 be fit for something，但是没有fit for 的用法。

10. voice前面a

have a voice in something 的意思是“有权利对某事发表看法”。这个词组中的不定冠词不能省略。
