Sentences 163: Good Thing, bender, Familiarity

After years of chopping and changing, my sister is finally onto a good thing with her new job.

During myWhen I was a studiesent, I really wentused to go on a benders – but now I drink alcohol maybe once a month.

'during my studies' is not natural English. You could say 'during my student days' / 'to go on a bender' means on one occasion. To show you mean you did it regularly, you can use ' I used to' or 'I often went' and the plural means a general habit.

He has worked for the management of this NGO for five years already and eventuallynd now familiarity breedshas bred contempt.

'already' is unnecessary and also implies five year is not a long time. 'eventually' is OK if you changed the tense to past. 'He worked for the management of this NGO for five years and eventually familiarity bred contempt.' Present perfect is a present tense and he still works there now.

He' does not havinge a good opinion off anyone he has worked with.

present continuous is not used with verbs of opinion or feeling

You use high level English. My corrections are of difficult grammar points.
