Teachers— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and complete: start with a clear topic sentence naming the teacher, then give one or two specific examples of how she helped, using linking words (for example, because, so, therefore) and avoid fillers (umm, uh). Keep it within 3–4 sentences and correct grammar (e.g., “she supported me,” not “supported to me”).

Example: My favourite teacher was my high-school English teacher because she supported me during a difficult time at home. For example, she gave me extra time on assignments and re-explained lessons when I missed school. Because of her support, I caught up with my classmates and felt more confident.

Suggestion: Open with a clear topic sentence stating your current role, then give specific details about what you teach and why it's meaningful. Use linking words to organize information (for example, additionally, because). Reduce hesitation and finish your sentence with a clear point about teaching methods or motivation.

Example: I am already a teacher; I work as a special educator in Lebanon. I teach English, science and math, and also Arabic, but I adapt my lessons because my students have different learning needs. For example, I use visual aids and hands-on activities to help them understand concepts more easily.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence naming the teacher and why he is memorable, then give one specific example of his support. Avoid repetition and hesitations. Use linking words like because or for example to connect the reason and the example.

Example: Yes, I still remember my high-school teacher very well because he supported me during a difficult period. For example, he stayed after class to explain lessons I had missed and encouraged me when I felt discouraged, which helped me improve my grades.

Suggestion: Answer directly and grammatically: start by saying you are not in touch with primary teachers but you are with high-school teachers. Then give a concise reason and one specific detail about how you keep in touch. Use correct verb forms and fewer hesitations.

Example: I am not really in touch with my primary-school teachers, but I do keep in contact with my high-school teacher because we now work at the same school. For instance, we meet daily at staff meetings and discuss students and lessons together.

Suggestion: Give a clear opening sentence describing one or two concrete ways she helped, then provide a brief example of the outcome. Remove fillers and be grammatically correct (e.g., “accepted my late assignments,” “re-explained lessons”). Use linking words like for example or as a result.

Example: She helped me by accepting my late assignments and re-explaining lessons I missed. For example, when I was absent for several weeks, she spent extra time after class to review the material, so I could catch up with the rest of the class.

Suggestion: Start with a clear stance (both are good) then explain briefly why you remember high-school teachers more, with one specific reason and example. Use correct grammar (e.g., “we were,” “teachers”) and limit to 2–3 sentences. Avoid filler words.

Example: I appreciate both my primary and high-school teachers, but I remember my high-school teachers more because we developed closer relationships. For example, they often discussed life and future plans with us, which made our connection stronger.

× Yes, I have a favorite teacher from high school, umm, she tried to help me all the time because I had some uh, issues in my study in my family, sorry.

✓ Yes, I have a favorite teacher from high school; she tried to help me all the time because I had some issues with my studies and with my family.

Use 'with' to indicate the object of issues: 'issues with my studies' and 'issues with my family'. Use plural 'studies' to refer to schoolwork. Also replace the comma splice with a semicolon or split into two sentences for clarity.

× So she, she stayed, uh, supported to me all the time.

✓ So she stayed with me and supported me all the time.

'Supported to me' is incorrect. Use the verb 'support' with an object: 'supported me'. If intending continual presence, say 'stayed with me'. Ensure correct object pronoun and word order.

× I'm actually a teacher.

✓ I am actually a teacher.

Contraction 'I'm' is acceptable in speech; no grammatical error. Correction provides full form for formality but either is correct. No tense change needed.

× So I work with students, uh, with special needs, with the same, uh, subject as teaching them the English, science, math, uh, in Lebanon, for sure the Arabic, but in different ways because they have, uh.

✓ So I work with students with special needs, teaching them subjects such as English, science, and math; in Lebanon we also teach Arabic, but in different ways depending on their needs.

Use 'students with special needs' (preposition placement). 'Such as' introduces examples. Use plural 'subjects' and correct article use. Clarify 'depending on their needs' rather than an unfinished clause.

× Yes, of course, he's my teacher from the high school, the one I remember, umm, I remember him a lot because as I, as I said before, he supported me.

✓ Yes, of course; he was my teacher in high school, the one I remember. I remember him a lot because, as I said before, he supported me.

Use past tense 'was' for a teacher from high school. 'From the high school' is unnatural; use 'in high school'. Punctuation and repetition cleaned for clarity.

× He was so kind and umm and helped me a lot in my situation that I had in my high school.

✓ He was so kind and helped me a lot with the situation I had in high school.

Use past tense 'was' and 'helped'. Use 'with the situation' rather than 'in my situation', and omit 'my' before 'high school' for natural phrasing.

× Actually, not exactly the primary school teachers, but the high school teachers because we was today a colleague in the same school.

✓ Actually, not exactly the primary school teachers, but the high school teachers because we were colleagues at the same school.

Subject-verb agreement: 'we' requires 'were' not 'was'. Use plural 'colleagues'. Use 'at the same school' or 'in the same school' for location consistency.

× So I work as a special educator in school and he work as a sociological teacher and high school.

✓ I work as a special educator at a school and he works as a sociology teacher in high school.

Match subject-verb agreement: 'he works'. Use 'sociology teacher' (subject name), not 'sociological teacher'. Use 'at a school' or 'in a school' and 'in high school' for natural preposition.

× So we're now colleague and we're in touch all the time.

✓ So we are now colleagues and we are in touch all the time.

Use plural 'colleagues' to agree with 'we'. 'We're' contraction is fine but must match noun number.

× Uh yes, my teacher, uh, gave me a lot of support, kind of, uh, accept my delay in uh, in assignments and re explain some stuff while I was absent from school for uh, uh, specific time.

✓ Yes, my teacher gave me a lot of support, accepting my delays in assignments and re-explaining some material while I was absent from school for a specific period of time.

Use 'accepting' as -ing form to describe concurrent action. Use plural 'delays' and 'assignments'. 'Re-explaining' is correct hyphenated gerund here. 'Specific period of time' is the natural phrase.

× Uh, actually both are excellent and extraordinary for me during my life, but The thing is when we was in high school, we can have that kind of friendship a little bit with our, uh, uh, teachers.

✓ Actually both have been excellent and extraordinary to me, but the thing is, when we were in high school, we could develop a bit of friendship with our teachers.

Use past tense 'were' not 'was'. Use modal past 'could' for ability in past. 'Have been' fits life experience. Rephrase 'a little bit' to 'a bit' for naturalness.

× So I can remember them more than our, than my primary school.

✓ So I can remember them more than my primary school teachers.

Compare people to people: 'remember them more than my primary school teachers'. Original compared 'them' to 'my primary school' (a school), which is an incorrect comparison object.
