Original
At this moment I am responding this questionnaire, there is not too much around me, I just finished the work, there are some people talking outside of my house, they are on the street, I can hear them but their voice is too low so I cannot understand what they are talking about. It seems that it is a woman and her son.
Now my cellphone is ringing, I check the number and I guess is the service provider "TELCEL" they called me yesterday afternoon to offer me a new plan, although it is not same number as yesterday it is pretty similar so I will not answer it.

Now, I am responding to this questionnaire. There is not too much going on around me. I just finished work. There are some people talking outside of my house. They are on the street. I can hear them, but their voices are too low, so I cannot understand what they are talking about. It seems that they are a woman and her son.
Now my cellphone is ringing. I checked the number, and I *guessed it was the service provider, Telcel. They called me yesterday afternoon to offer me a new plan. Although it is not the same number as yesterday, it is pretty similar, so I will not answer the call.
Well done.
Please use "now" instead of "at this moment".
Putting everything into the simple past in this sentence makes the most sense.

Please read this excerpt from an article that I found on a website called Mexico News Daily.
The government advises that the use of face masks shouldn’t be obligatory in open spaces where people can maintain a “healthy distance” from each other but recommends wearing one outdoors if social distancing isn’t possible. It offers the same advice for enclosed spaces.
The government also recommends the elimination of the use of tapetes sanitizantes – “sanitizing mats” -- placed at the entrance to shops, restaurants and other businesses – and filtros sanitarios--health checkpoints where people are screened for COVID, usually via temperature checks.
Based on this excerpt what questions do you have?

What is going on in this video?
The people that appear in the video are filming THE MAKING OF A video with another camera to disprove NASA in regards TO zero gravity. They are using green screen technology in that video. GREEN SCREEN TECHNOLOGY is the reason why the man is DRESSED in green elastic clothing. This technology allows THE VIDEO EDITOR to disappear everything that is covered with the color green. Since the man is covered with green elastic FABRIC, he will not appear in the video WHOSE PRODUCTION is being filmed with the other camera.

A personal goal that I have related to my profession is to get the CCNP Security certification. To get this certification, you need to pass 2 exams. One test is the core exam, and the other is the concentration exam. The core exam tests core security technologies. It is a general test about different security technologies. The concentration exam is FOCUSED ON one security technology. There are 6 concentration exams and you only need to pass one.
I have been studying to pass both exams FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. In August, I passed one concentration exam, so I only need to pass the core exam to get the certification. For the core exam, I am reading the official cert book and I am watching a video course that explain the topics.
