Teachers— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Shorten and structure the reply: start with a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Reduce redundancy and avoid long strings of adjectives.

Example: Yes. My favorite teacher is Mr. Singh, my high-school economics tutor. He was very knowledgeable and patient, and he used real-world examples to make complicated ideas easy to understand.

Suggestion: Make the tense consistent and remove repetitions. Give one main reason and briefly expand with a linked detail. Avoid self-contradictory phrasing and grammatical errors.

Example: I used to want to be a teacher as a child, but I no longer do. Mainly, I think the job involves a lot of stress and lifelong learning, and I don't feel I have the patience required for teaching.

Suggestion: Clarify meaning and use correct word choices. Start with a topic sentence, then give two specific examples of how she influenced you, using linking words for coherence.

Example: Yes, I clearly remember my literature teacher, who helped shape my character. For example, she improved my writing by giving regular feedback, and she also shared real-life stories that taught me important values.

Suggestion: Organize answer into a direct statement and one supporting detail. Use correct expressions (e.g., "I have their Facebook accounts") and avoid awkward phrases like "in opposite."

Example: Not really. It's been about 15 years and although I have some of their Facebook accounts, we rarely communicate. My parents, however, still keep in touch with them.

Suggestion: Correct word choice and tighten sentences. Give one clear way he helped you and add a specific example of a teaching method he used, linking ideas with words like "for example" or "for instance."

Example: He helped me by using practical examples from the hospitality industry to explain economic concepts. For instance, he would use case studies of hotels to teach supply and demand, which made the lessons much easier to understand.

× I used to dream to be a teacher when I was small.

✓ I used to dream of being a teacher when I was small.

The verb phrase 'used to dream to' is incorrect. After 'dream' we usually use the preposition 'of' plus a gerund ('being') to express a past habitual desire. Use 'dream of doing' or 'dreamed of being' instead. Suggestion: say 'I used to dream of being a teacher.'

× However, when I grow up, I don't want to be a teacher in the future anymore because of the stress and pressure and the knowledge that you have to obtain in order to be a good teacher.

✓ However, when I grow up, I don't want to be a teacher anymore because of the stress, pressure, and the knowledge you have to obtain to be a good teacher.

This sentence mixes tenses and has awkward phrasing. 'When I grow up' is present-simple used for future reference and is acceptable, but 'in the future anymore' is redundant. Also 'the stress and pressure and the knowledge that you have to obtain' is wordy. Streamline by removing redundant words and using parallel structure. Suggestion: 'I don't want to be a teacher anymore because of the stress, pressure, and the knowledge you must acquire to be a good teacher.'

× And I don't think my I don't have enough characteristic to be a good teacher though.

✓ And I don't think I have enough characteristics to be a good teacher, though.

The sentence has a repeated fragment 'my I don't' and wrong singular noun 'characteristic' for personality traits. Use 'I have' not 'my I don't'. Use plural 'characteristics' or 'qualities'. Also place 'though' at the end for natural flow. Suggestion: 'I don't think I have enough qualities to be a good teacher.'

× I had a teacher that technically raised me to how to be a good person.

✓ I had a teacher who practically taught me how to be a good person.

Use 'who' for people instead of 'that'. 'Raised me to how to be' is ungrammatical; use 'taught me how to' or 'helped raise me to be' depending on meaning. 'Technically' is odd here; 'practically' or 'really' fits better. Suggestion: 'a teacher who taught me how to be a good person.'

× She's my literal literature teacher.

✓ She was my actual literature teacher.

Using 'literal' to describe a teacher is incorrect; 'actual' or simply 'my literature teacher' is appropriate. Also note tense: if referring to past, use 'was'. Suggestion: 'She was my literature teacher.'

× She's not only the one who practiced my writing skills a lot, making my handwriting better, but also a person who show me live experience.

✓ She not only helped me practice my writing skills a lot, improving my handwriting, but also showed me real-life experiences.

Parallel structure is needed: use 'not only... but also' with matching verb forms. 'Practiced my writing skills' is awkward; 'helped me practice' is clearer. 'Show me' should be past 'showed me.' 'Live experience' should be 'real-life experiences.' Also change 'making' to 'improving' for clarity. Suggestion: 'She not only helped me practice my writing skills, improving my handwriting, but also showed me real-life experiences.'

× Not really I think it's been almost 15 years already.

✓ Not really; I think it's been almost 15 years already.

Missing punctuation causes a run-on. Adding a semicolon or period clarifies separation. No preposition error actually, but punctuation improves readability. Suggestion: 'Not really. I think it's been almost 15 years.'

× I do have my primary school teachers Facebook account however we don't really talk much.

✓ I do have my primary school teacher's Facebook account; however, we don't really talk much.

Possessive apostrophe is required: 'teacher's Facebook account' for one teacher, or 'teachers' for multiple. Also add punctuation before 'however' and comma after it. Suggestion: 'I have my primary school teacher's Facebook account, but we don't talk much.'

× My parents in opposite do have contact and still talk with them and still friends with them however.

✓ My parents, on the other hand, do keep in contact with them and are still friends with them, however.

'In opposite' is incorrect; use 'on the other hand.' 'Do have contact' should be 'do keep in contact' or 'are in contact.' Also use 'are still friends with them.' Add commas for clarity and place 'however' appropriately. Suggestion: 'My parents, on the other hand, are still in contact with them and remain friends.'

× My favorite tour has a vast knowledge of economics and also hospitality industry and he was very patient with me when we first started learning economics.

✓ My favorite tutor has vast knowledge of economics and the hospitality industry, and he was very patient with me when we first started learning economics.

'Tour' should be 'tutor' (spelling error). 'A vast knowledge' can be 'vast knowledge' (no article). 'Hospitality industry' needs the definite article 'the.' Ensure subject nouns agree and add commas for readability. Suggestion: 'My favorite tutor has vast knowledge of economics and the hospitality industry.'

× He always showed me real life experience and how to complete the task in the most in the best way.

✓ He always showed me real-life examples and how to complete tasks in the best way.

Use 'real-life examples' instead of 'real life experience' here. 'The most in the best way' is redundant and ungrammatical; simplify to 'in the best way' or 'most efficiently.' Also make 'task' plural or generalize to 'tasks.' Suggestion: 'He always showed me real-life examples and how to complete tasks in the best way.'
