Do you have a favourite teacher?

I have one favorite professor at university. She teaches English phonetics, and I admire her so much because she uses a variety of teaching methods, for example, phonetic transcriptions and interactive pronunciation drills or tweet styles, which make difficult concepts much easier to understand and remember.

Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Thí sinh
I used to want to be a teacher in the future when I was a kid, but now I don't know. I can admit this idea because I love teaching people English or Italian, but at the same time it requires so much energy and so much time and so much skills that I don't know if I'm sufficient enough.
Do you have a favourite teacher?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: Ответ в целом хороший: присутствует тема и поддерживающие детали. Однако есть незначительные ошибки лексики и стиля (например, «tweet styles» — неясно; лучше «short exercises»), некоторое избыточное перечисление и длинное предложение. Стоит разбить на 2-3 коротких предложения, уточнить термины и использовать связки (for example, for instance, which helps). Также следует избегать чрезмерного повторения («so much» дважды).
Ví dụ: I have one favourite professor at university who teaches English phonetics. I admire her because she uses a variety of methods, for example phonetic transcriptions and interactive pronunciation drills. These techniques help make difficult concepts much easier to understand and remember.
Are you still in touch with your primary school teacher?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Ответ понятен, но содержит ошибки в согласовании местоимений и артиклях, повторяющиеся и нечеткие фразы («I know nothing about your life actually» — неверно адресовано; «one of my favorite teacher» — согласование). Нужно более кратко и связно выразить мысль, убрать лишние фразы и исправить грамматику. Используйте связки: unfortunately, however, because.
Ví dụ: Unfortunately, I'm not in touch with my primary school teacher anymore. She moved to Moscow while I live in Saint Petersburg, so we lost contact. I wish we could keep in touch because she was one of my favourite teachers.
In what way did your favourite teacher help you?
Điểm: 70.0Gợi ý: Ответ содержит нужную информацию и эмоции, но есть говорящие вставки («uh») и повторы («so much»). Формулировки можно сделать более точными и краткими; лучше дать конкретный пример помощи (например, объясняла структуру эссе, давала обратную связь). Используйте связки: for example, by, therefore.
Ví dụ: My favourite teacher taught literature and helped me prepare for my final exams by explaining essay structure and giving detailed feedback on my drafts. She also encouraged me a lot, which boosted my confidence and improved my writing.
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Ответ выражает сомнение, но содержит повторы («so much») и неуклюжие выражения («sufficient enough» — тавтология). Нужно сделать ответ более структурированным: кратко сказать о прошлом желании, затем объяснить текущее положение с конкретными причинами и завершить заключением. Используйте более точную лексику (adequate, require, demanding).
Ví dụ: I wanted to be a teacher when I was a child, but now I'm not sure. I enjoy teaching languages like English and Italian, however the profession is demanding and requires a lot of time and energy. Therefore I would consider it only if I had enough practical experience and training.
× I have one favorite professor at university.
✓ I have a favorite professor at the university.
The article 'the' is required before 'university' when referring to a specific institution in this context. Use 'the university' to indicate the particular place where the student studies. Suggestion: say 'at the university' or specify the university name.
× She teaches English phonetics, and I admire her so much because she uses a variety of teaching methods, for example, phonetic transcriptions and interactive pronunciation drills or tweet styles, which make difficult concepts much easier to understand and remember.
✓ She teaches English phonetics, and I admire her so much because she uses a variety of teaching methods, for example phonetic transcriptions, interactive pronunciation drills and tweet-style exercises, which make difficult concepts much easier to understand and remember.
List items should be separated by commas and coordinated with 'and' for the final item; 'or' was incorrect in this context. 'Tweet styles' is unclear; 'tweet-style exercises' or 'tweet-sized activities' is a clearer noun phrase. Suggestion: use consistent list punctuation and choose clear compound nouns.
× All I know is that she has moved to another city, to Moscow, and currently I'm living at Saint Petersburg.
✓ All I know is that she has moved to another city, to Moscow, and currently I'm living in Saint Petersburg.
English uses 'in' for cities and towns, not 'at'. Use 'in Saint Petersburg'. Also keep parallel preposition use: 'moved to Moscow' is correct, 'living in Saint Petersburg' is correct.
× And I know nothing about your life actually, but I wish I could communicate with her because she was one of my favorite teacher so.
✓ And I actually know nothing about her life, but I wish I could communicate with her because she was one of my favorite teachers.
The original used 'your' incorrectly; the speaker should refer to 'her' (the teacher). Also 'favorite teacher' needs plural 'teachers' after 'one of my'. Remove the stray 'so' and place 'actually' earlier for natural word order. Suggestion: ensure pronouns refer to the correct person and match noun number.
× My only favorite teacher was uh, a school teacher that was teaching us literature and she helped me so much with my final exams when I had to finish my school.
✓ My favorite teacher was a school teacher who taught us literature, and she helped me a lot with my final exams when I finished school.
Use 'who taught' instead of 'that was teaching' for people; 'a lot' is more natural than 'so much' in this context; 'when I finished school' is a better tense and phrasing than 'when I had to finish my school'. Suggestion: use 'who' for people and prefer concise verb forms.
× And also she motivated me so much and she really helped me to boost my self-esteem.
✓ She also motivated me a lot and really helped boost my self-esteem.
Avoid starting sentences with 'And also'; combine ideas for concision. 'Helped boost' is more natural than 'helped me to boost'. Use 'a lot' instead of 'so much' for formality. Suggestion: streamline sentences and use natural collocations.
× I used to want to be a teacher in the future when I was a kid, but now I don't know.
✓ I used to want to be a teacher when I was a kid, but now I don't know if I do.
'Used to' correctly indicates a past habit; 'in the future' is unnecessary and conflicts with 'when I was a kid'. Change to 'when I was a kid'. Add 'if I do' to complete the idea in present. Suggestion: avoid mixing past habitual phrase with future time expressions.
× I can admit this idea because I love teaching people English or Italian, but at the same time it requires so much energy and so much time and so much skills that I don't know if I'm sufficient enough.
✓ I can consider this idea because I love teaching people English or Italian, but at the same time it requires a lot of energy, time and skill, so I'm not sure I'm good enough.
'Admit this idea' is awkward; use 'consider' or 'accept'. Use 'a lot of' for uncountable nouns; 'skills' should be singular 'skill' when speaking generally, or use 'skills' with 'many' and list specific skills. 'Sufficient enough' is redundant; use 'good enough' or 'sufficient'. Suggestion: choose natural verbs, avoid redundant adjectives, and use correct quantifier forms.
