Teacher— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant and clear but a bit wordy and repetitive. Start with one concise topic sentence, avoid repeating ideas (e.g., 'motivate' and 'encourage' are similar), and add one specific example to make it more vivid. Keep it within 3–4 sentences and use a linking phrase to show cause and effect.

Ejemplo: My favourite teacher was my junior high English teacher because he motivated students to participate actively. For example, he used games and group activities to make lessons fun, so I started paying more attention in class and my grades improved by the end of the year.

Sugerencia: Good direct response but some grammar is awkward and phrasing is unclear ('not still in touch' and 'record my good old days'). Use a clear topic sentence, correct tense and phrasing, and add a brief reason or future plan. Use a linking word to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: No, I am not in touch with my primary school teacher because my family moved to another prefecture when I started junior high. However, I would like to visit him one day to thank him and reminisce about the lessons that helped me.

Sugerencia: The answer addresses the question but lacks clarity and precise linkage between English teacher and improvement in mathematics; also some tense and time-word choices are imprecise ('first entered the high school' after junior high). Begin with a clear statement of how he helped, then give a specific example and use linking words to show progression.

Ejemplo: He helped me improve academically by explaining difficult concepts clearly and giving targeted practice. For instance, he arranged extra tutoring sessions for me in mathematics, and as a result I improved my scores and passed the entrance exam.

Sugerencia: Strong, personal answer with good reasoning. To improve, make the response more concise and avoid repeating 'I' too often; link your current experience more directly to future goals and give one specific teaching quality you want to develop.

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to become a teacher because I already enjoy coaching as an assistant Capoeira instructor. Watching students improve has inspired me to develop my lesson-planning and communication skills so I can teach full-time in the future.

× Yes, I have a favorite teacher from my junior high school.

✓ Yes, I have a favorite teacher from my junior high school.

No change needed; sentence is correct. (Listed to show no article error.)

× He was my English teacher who was good at motivating students and encouraging them.

✓ He was my English teacher who was good at motivating and encouraging students.

The original sentence repeats two verbs with separate objects; combine them with 'and' and place the object 'students' after both verbs for natural phrasing. Also keeps correct pronoun usage.

× That is why I could concentrate all my work and in the end, I could improve my academic performances.

✓ That is why I could concentrate on all my work and, in the end, I was able to improve my academic performance.

Use the preposition 'on' with 'concentrate'. 'Could' to express past ability is acceptable but 'was able to' is more natural here. 'Academic performance' is uncountable; use singular. Add commas for clarity.

× No, unfortunately I am not still in touch with my primary school teacher because I moved to other prefecture when I entered the junior high school.

✓ No, unfortunately I am not still in touch with my primary school teacher because I moved to another prefecture when I entered junior high school.

Use 'another' with 'prefecture'. Omit 'the' before 'junior high school' in this general reference. 'Still' placement is awkward; better: 'I am not still in touch' -> 'I am no longer in touch' (alternative).

× If I have chance, I'd like to visit him and record my good old days with him.

✓ If I have the chance, I'd like to visit him and record my good old days with him.

Insert the definite article 'the' in the phrase 'have the chance'. 'Record my good old days with him' is slightly odd but grammatically acceptable; consider 'reminisce about the good old days with him' for natural expression.

× My favorite teacher helped me in terms of improving my academic performances.

✓ My favorite teacher helped me improve my academic performance.

Use the bare infinitive 'improve' after 'help' (helped me improve). 'Academic performance' is uncountable; use singular. 'In terms of' is wordy and unnecessary.

× When I first entered the high school, I was not good at mathematics, but in the final years of my school days, I got better at it and I successfully passed the entrance exam.

✓ When I first entered high school, I was not good at mathematics, but in the final years of my school days I got better at it and successfully passed the entrance exam.

Omit 'the' before 'high school' for general reference. Remove the second comma before 'I got better' for smoother flow. 'Successfully' placement is fine; keep past tense consistently.

× Yes, I'd like to become a teacher in the future.

✓ Yes, I'd like to become a teacher in the future.

Sentence is correct; expresses future desire with 'would like'. No change needed.

× I am currently an assistant instructor of Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, and I enjoy my students improving their skills and I feel really excited about that.

✓ I am currently an assistant instructor of Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, and I enjoy seeing my students improve their skills; I feel really excited about that.

Use 'enjoy seeing my students improve' rather than 'enjoy my students improving' for natural phrasing. Use semicolon or conjunction to avoid run-on sentence. Use bare infinitive 'improve' after 'seeing' construction.

× That is why I hope to become an official teacher.

✓ That is why I hope to become an official teacher.

Sentence is correct; 'hope to become' appropriately expresses future intention. No change needed.
