Teacher— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and reduce hesitations. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason and a short example. Avoid repeating similar words ("funny" and "humorous").

Exemplo: My favourite teacher is my high-school math teacher. He was very rigorous in explaining concepts, which helped me understand difficult topics, but he also used humour in class to keep students engaged — for example, he used real-life puzzles to make lessons memorable.

Sugestão: Give a direct answer first and then briefly explain with a specific reason and timeframe. Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas and avoid vague phrases like "preoccupied with their work."

Exemplo: No, I'm not. I haven't kept in touch since I started secondary school because I'm very busy with my studies and my primary teacher has also retired, so we lost regular contact.

Sugestão: Organize your answer: start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific examples of how the teacher helped (methods, materials, or outcomes). Remove fillers ("umm, uh") and correct grammar ("it taught me" → "he taught me").

Exemplo: He helped me improve my problem-solving skills by teaching clear step-by-step methods and giving practical exam-style questions. For example, he showed how to break complex problems into smaller parts and gave timed mock tests that improved my speed and accuracy.

Sugestão: Provide a clear, grammatical response: state your decision, give reasons, and contrast with the idea of teaching. Avoid repetition and fix grammar ("I want to be a computer" is incorrect). Use linking words like "however" or "because."

Exemplo: No, I probably won't become a teacher. Although I admire teachers and enjoy interacting with students, I'm more interested in technology; I plan to pursue a career in computer science because I enjoy programming and building software.

× He is always rigorous, umm, and sometimes funny and humorous.

✓ He is always strict and sometimes funny.

The student used 'rigorous' which is acceptable but 'rigorous' is more formal and uncommon to describe a teacher's personality in this context; 'strict' is a more natural adjective. Also 'funny and humorous' is redundant; choose one. Improve by using a single, appropriate adjective and avoiding redundancy.

× Actually, I'm not in touch with my primary school teacher now because I'm busy with my study and I think my primary school teachers are also preoccupied with their work.

✓ Actually, I'm not in touch with my primary school teachers now because I'm busy with my studies and I think my primary school teachers are also preoccupied with their work.

There is inconsistency between singular and plural: the sentence begins 'my primary school teacher' (singular) then later uses 'teachers' (plural). Also 'my study' should be 'my studies' for general academic work. Fix by making noun number consistent and using the plural 'studies' when talking about ongoing schooling.

× Umm, my math teacher helped me in improving my math skills and it taught me, uh, he taught me many, umm, practical skills to using math exams and.

✓ My math teacher helped me improve my math skills and taught me many practical skills for using math in exams.

The original sentence has redundant subjects ('it taught me, he taught me') and incorrect phrasing ('practical skills to using math exams'). Remove redundancy, use the correct verb pattern 'helped me improve' (not 'helped me in improving') and use the preposition 'for' with 'using math in exams.' This clarifies meaning and corrects verb and preposition use.

× No, probably not, although teachers are.

✓ No, probably not, although being a teacher can be enjoyable.

The fragment 'although teachers are' is incomplete and lacks a clear pronoun or predicate. Replace with a full clause that expresses the intended meaning, e.g., 'being a teacher can be enjoyable.' This fixes the sentence fragment and clarifies the comparison.

× I think being teachers are fun and it will be great to interact with students every day.

✓ I think being a teacher is fun and it would be great to interact with students every day.

Subject-verb agreement and article issues: 'being teachers are' is incorrect. Use the gerund phrase 'being a teacher' as a singular concept, so pair with 'is.' Also 'will' to 'would' is more tentative when expressing hypothetical future career preference. Fix article by adding 'a.'

× But I'm more a tech tech person.

✓ But I'm more of a tech person.

Redundancy ('tech tech') and incorrect noun phrase. Use 'more of a' to indicate preference and avoid repeating 'tech.'

× I want to be a a computer.

✓ I want to work in computer science / I want to be a computer scientist.

'I want to be a computer' is illogical because a person cannot be a computer. Provide appropriate professions or fields such as 'computer scientist' or 'work in computer science.' Also remove duplicate article 'a a.'
