× He always make the classes fun and at ease and almost every student likes her courses because his interest.
✓ He always makes the classes fun and at ease and almost every student likes his courses because of his interest.
The verb 'make' should be in the third person singular form 'makes' to agree with the singular subject 'He'. Also, 'her courses' is incorrect as the teacher is male, so it should be 'his courses'. Additionally, 'because his interest' is incomplete and should be 'because of his interest' to correctly use the preposition.
× He always make the classes fun and at ease and almost every student likes her courses because his interest.
✓ He always makes the classes fun and at ease and almost every student likes his courses because of his interest.
The pronoun 'her' is incorrect when referring to a male teacher; it should be 'his' to match the gender of the subject.
× He always make the classes fun and at ease and almost every student likes her courses because his interest.
✓ He always makes the classes fun and at ease and almost every student likes his courses because of his interest.
The phrase 'because his interest' lacks the necessary preposition 'of' to form the correct expression 'because of his interest'.
× Uh, it's a very pity I never touch with my primary school teacher because I moved to another city and it's far away from my, uh, primary school, so I didn't have got any opportunities to, umm, contact with my primary school teacher.
✓ Uh, it's a pity I never got in touch with my primary school teacher because I moved to another city and it's far away from my primary school, so I didn't have any opportunities to contact my primary school teacher.
The phrase 'touch with' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'get in touch with'. Also, 'contact with' should be 'contact' without 'with'. Additionally, 'didn't have got' is incorrect; it should be 'didn't have'. The word 'very' before 'pity' is unnecessary.
× Uh, it's a very pity I never touch with my primary school teacher because I moved to another city and it's far away from my, uh, primary school, so I didn't have got any opportunities to, umm, contact with my primary school teacher.
✓ Uh, it's a pity I never got in touch with my primary school teacher because I moved to another city and it's far away from my primary school, so I didn't have any opportunities to contact my primary school teacher.
The verb 'touch' should be in past tense 'got in touch' to match the past context. Also, 'didn't have got' is incorrect; 'didn't have' is the correct past negative form.
× But I hope in the future I can have a chance to visit them because I'm appreciable for their.
✓ But I hope in the future I can have a chance to visit them because I'm appreciative of them.
The word 'appreciable' is incorrect here; the correct adjective is 'appreciative'. Also, 'for their' is incomplete and should be 'of them' to correctly express gratitude towards people.
× But I hope in the future I can have a chance to visit them because I'm appreciable for their.
✓ But I hope in the future I can have a chance to visit them because I'm appreciative of them.
'Appreciable' means 'large enough to be noticed' and is not used to express gratitude. The correct word is 'appreciative'.
× But I hope in the future I can have a chance to visit them because I'm appreciable for their.
✓ But I hope in the future I can have a chance to visit them because I'm appreciative of them.
The preposition 'for' is incorrect here; the correct preposition to express gratitude is 'of'.
× Uh, my favorite teacher gave me a, a praise, uh, because of my little progress, it make me, uh, impressive.
✓ Uh, my favorite teacher gave me praise because of my little progress; it made me feel impressed.
'A praise' is incorrect because 'praise' is an uncountable noun and does not take an article. Also, 'make' should be in past tense 'made' to agree with the past context. 'Impressive' is an adjective meaning 'causing admiration' but here the correct word is 'impressed' to describe the student's feeling.
× Uh, my favorite teacher gave me a, a praise, uh, because of my little progress, it make me, uh, impressive.
✓ Uh, my favorite teacher gave me praise because of my little progress; it made me feel impressed.
The verb 'make' should be in past tense 'made' to match the past action described.
× Uh, my favorite teacher gave me a, a praise, uh, because of my little progress, it make me, uh, impressive.
✓ Uh, my favorite teacher gave me praise because of my little progress; it made me feel impressed.
'Impressive' describes something that causes admiration, but here the student is describing their own feeling, so 'impressed' is the correct adjective.
× You know, I'm not the top student, but one day I, uh, have some progress in our Rd. test.
✓ You know, I'm not the top student, but one day I made some progress in our Rd. test.
The verb 'have' should be in past tense 'made' to indicate completed progress in the past.
× He appraised me.
✓ He praised me.
The verb 'appraised' is incorrect in this context; the correct verb is 'praised' to indicate giving positive feedback. 'Appraised' usually refers to evaluating value, not giving praise.
× To be honest, I don't want to be a teacher in the future because I know I lack patience and I really know it's a tough task to manage all kinds of children, uh, in in order.
✓ To be honest, I don't want to be a teacher in the future because I know I lack patience and I really know it's a tough task to manage all kinds of children in order.
The phrase 'in in order' contains a repeated preposition 'in'. Removing the extra 'in' corrects the sentence. Also, 'in order' is correctly used here to mean 'organized' or 'disciplined'.
× It's a very, uh, struggled for me.
✓ It's very difficult for me.
'Struggled' is the past tense of the verb 'struggle' and cannot be used as an adjective. The correct adjective to express difficulty is 'difficult'.
