A: There is no difference, they mean the exact same thing.

A: There's not really any difference in the two on their own, however I would say that contextually the two are used differently.

"Where are you working these days" would probably be used to ask "at what company are you currently working at?"

Where have you been working these days would be used to ask "at what location (as in geographical location) have you been working at recently?"

Sorry if this explanation is too complicated, but if you took their literal meaning on their own, they could be both be used to ask the same question (either company or location). However what I have put in the above two paragraphs explains how they are used and why they have different nuances.

A: "on the days" implies you are talking about specific (often non-consecutive) days.

Examples:
• "On the days that I have soccer practice..."
• "On the days that I come home early from work..."

—

"in the days" implies that you are talking about a specific era or continuous period of time.

Examples:
• "In the days leading up to the tournament..." (on also acceptable)
• "(Back) in the days before the internet was commonplace..."

A: “A couple” and “a few” both mean a small number.

“A couple” means 2. But it is also commonly used to mean “about 2” (could be 3 or 4, for example)

“A few” is generally at least 3.

You can often use them interchangeably:
“I’ll be back in a couple of minutes” ≈ “I’ll be back in a few minutes”

If someone asks you specifically for a number and you reply “a couple”, it‘s more likely to be interpreted as “two”:
Person A - “How many cookies do you want?”
Person B - “A couple, please” = wants 2 cookies (it would be clearer to just say “two” though)
Person C - “I’ll take a few” = wants some unspecified small number of cookies

A: "To" is more casual than "until." In conversation, you might use "to." In writing or formal settings, you would use "until."

A: “These days, since the global era of coronavirus has begun, online shopping is safer and more comfortable.”

A: Compared to "in these days", "nowadays" sounds a lot more natural. And you could continue the sentence with "that globally the corona virus has expanded, online shoppinh is more comfortable and safer"

A: It all sounds natural until the last line. I can assume you mean “over 10 hours a day”, but you should say. 10 hours a week? Per month? Per year?

A: I'd say there's only a few words that are unnecessary. But other than that, it's great!

A: × 1. I requested a five days off from work.
✓ 1. I requested five days off from work.

× 2. I requested a 2 weeks leave from work.

No 2. You can also say, “I requested 2 weeks off from work.”

× My dog has got sick but she has also got better.
✓ My dog had gotten sick.

× But now, we're starting to feel relieved because our dog is becoming fine.
✓ But now, we're starting to feel relieved because our dog is getting better.

Good job! It was grammatically correct, but a little unnatural in some parts.

I shortened the second sentence to remove the information that was repeated in the fourth sentence, which makes it sound more natural overall.

And I am glad to hear that your dog is starting to feel better!
