I spoke to a trainee who explained about the culture of the firm. This was very insightful.What is actually unclear here is what THIS is. Is it the open day? Is it the conversation with the trainee?I attended an open day with Joe Bloggs LLP. I spoke to a trainee who explained about the culture of the firm. This conversation was very insightful.Just one extra word makes it much clearer and precise. So be mindful of using "This" and check whether there is any ambiguity in your sentence if you are using it on its own.</blockquote>
