Do you want to be a teacher in the future?

× Yes exactly, when I was a high school student my math teacher was very friendly and easy going so at that time I always enjoyed uh taking her lessons and had a good grades.
✓ Yes, exactly. When I was a high school student, my math teacher was very friendly and easy-going, so at that time I always enjoyed taking her lessons and had good grades.
Errors: 'easy going' should be hyphenated as 'easy-going' when used as a compound adjective; 'uh' is a filler and removed for formality; 'had a good grades' mixes singular article with plural noun. Use 'had good grades' or 'had a good grade' depending on meaning. Also add commas to separate clauses. Suggestion: Remove fillers, hyphenate compound adjectives, and match articles with noun number.
× No, also, I don't remember the last time we met, so if the opportunity present itself, I would like to show my gratitude to her in person because she actually, uh, made a big influence to my life.
✓ No, I don't remember the last time we met, so if the opportunity presents itself, I would like to show my gratitude to her in person because she actually made a big influence on my life.
Errors: 'also' is redundant; 'if the opportunity present itself' uses wrong verb form after conditional — it should be 'presents' (third person singular) or 'were to present itself' for subjunctive; 'uh' filler removed; 'made a big influence to my life' uses incorrect preposition — use 'influence on my life'. Suggestion: Use correct verb agreement with 'opportunity' and correct preposition 'on'.

✓ Well, let's take my high school math teacher as an example, because she always incorporated some funny games into her lessons so I could easily understand the core concepts of the lesson.
Errors: Tense inconsistency — 'incorporated' (past) should align with result clause in past: 'I could' instead of 'I can'. 'Lesson' should be plural 'lessons' if referring to repeated classes; 'core concept' likely plural 'core concepts'. Remove filler 'umm'. Suggestion: Keep past tense consistent and match singular/plural forms.

✓ Being a teacher used to be my dream job. However, I feel that in modern society being a teacher may not be as respected as I expected, so in the future I may not become a teacher and will choose another career path.
Errors: Tense and modality problems — 'felt' past contradicts 'used to be' but the speaker refers to current opinion, so 'feel' fits; 'cannot be respectful' is incorrect collocation — use 'may not be as respected' (adjective 'respected' not 'respectful'); 'may not be a teacher' awkward — use 'may not become a teacher'. Suggestion: Use appropriate adjective 'respected', maintain consistent tense for current opinions, and use 'become' for future career changes.
