Teachers— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear and grammatical. Start with a direct topic sentence naming the teacher, then give two brief supporting details (how they helped and when). Use linking words (for example, 'because' or 'when') and avoid repetition and filler. Keep it under five sentences.

Example: Yes. My favourite teacher is my college tutor, Mr. Lee. He supported me when I felt discouraged and gave practical advice that helped me continue my studies. Because of his encouragement, I regained my confidence and still remember him fondly.

Suggestion: Answer directly (yes/no) and explain with one or two clear reasons using linking words (e.g., 'but', 'because', 'so'). Correct grammar for general statements (plural/singular) and avoid trailing incomplete clauses.

Example: I sometimes teach friends and family, but I would not want to be a professional teacher. Teaching is very demanding because teachers are responsible for both students' learning and well-being, and I don't feel ready for that level of responsibility.

Suggestion: Give a concise answer with clear grammar and a specific example of what you remember. Use linking words like 'because' and avoid hesitations. Mention when and how the teacher helped in one or two sentences.

Example: Yes. I still remember a college teacher who motivated me during difficult times. He encouraged me when I felt like giving up and offered both emotional support and practical advice.

Suggestion: Answer directly and politely (e.g., 'No, not really'), then give a brief reason. Use natural phrasing and avoid repetition. One or two sentences are enough.

Example: No, I'm not in touch with them. It's been many years and I can’t really remember most of my primary school teachers.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence describing the main benefit (e.g., 'He improved my confidence'). Then give two specific examples of how (personalized feedback, pointing out mistakes) using linking words ('for example', 'also'). Avoid fillers and incomplete phrases.

Example: He helped me most by boosting my confidence. For example, he gave me personalized feedback on my assignments, pointed out my mistakes clearly, and suggested concrete ways to improve my study habits.

× Yes, I have a lot of faith from a teacher but I prefer one on my college.

✓ Yes, I have a lot of respect for a teacher, but I prefer the one from my college.

The preposition 'from' is acceptable for origin but 'faith from a teacher' is unnatural; 'respect for' or 'faith in' are typical collocations. 'on my college' is incorrect; use 'from my college' to indicate association. Also use the definite article 'the' before 'one' when specifying a particular teacher.

× It's helped me and give me support when I feel upset.

✓ He has helped me and given me support when I felt upset.

The subject is a teacher (he), so verb forms must match. 'It's helped' (it has) is incorrect; use 'He has helped' for present perfect. 'give' should be in past participle 'given' to follow 'has'. Maintain consistent tense: present perfect for actions with present relevance.

× I and and I can cannot continue my study.

✓ I felt I could not continue my studies.

Sentence has repetition and incorrect modal ordering 'can cannot'. Use a past modal 'could not' to express inability in the past and plural 'studies' for general study activities. Also order 'I felt I could not...' improves clarity.

× I cannot forget him.

✓ I cannot forget him.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable; no correction needed. It correctly uses pronoun and modal verb. Included for completeness.

× Yes, I often teach friend and my family what I know, but I don't think I would become professional teacher because it is a very difficult job.

✓ Yes, I often teach friends and my family what I know, but I don't think I would become a professional teacher because it is a very difficult job.

'Friend' should be plural 'friends' when speaking generally. Missing article 'a' before 'professional teacher' is required. Verb forms are otherwise fine.

× Teacher have a lot of responsibility for their student for learning and well-being and I worry I'm not be.

✓ Teachers have a lot of responsibility for their students' learning and well-being, and I worry I would not be able to do that.

Use plural 'Teachers' with plural verb 'have' for general statement. 'student' should be plural possessive 'students' learning. 'I worry I'm not be' is ungrammatical; use 'I worry I would not be able to do that' to express inability in the future/conditional sense.

× Yes, I have one I remember here because this motivate me when I feel upset and I cannot continue smile.

✓ Yes, I have one I remember from college because he motivated me when I felt upset and could not keep smiling.

Use 'from college' to show association. 'This motivate me' should be 'he motivated me' with past tense. 'I cannot continue smile' is incorrect; use 'could not keep smiling' or 'could not continue to smile' to express inability to smile.

× Uh, college, he motivates me and give me support.

✓ At college, he motivated me and gave me support.

For past events use past tense: 'motivated' and 'gave'. 'At college' is the correct prepositional phrase. 'Give' must be past 'gave' to match 'motivated'.

× Absolutely no, because it's a long time.

✓ Absolutely not, because it's been a long time.

'Absolutely no' is incorrect in this context; use 'absolutely not' to negate. Also 'it's a long time' is unnatural; 'it's been a long time' (present perfect) expresses elapsed time.

× I cannot actually, I cannot remember any one of them.

✓ I actually cannot; I cannot remember any of them.

Word order and punctuation improve clarity. Use 'any of them' rather than 'any one of them' for general recollection. 'Actually' should be placed after the subject or at clause start.

× Actually, he helped me a lot in the side of my confidence.

✓ Actually, he helped me a lot with my confidence.

'In the side of my confidence' is an incorrect prepositional phrase. Use 'with my confidence' or 'in terms of my confidence' to indicate area of help.

× Uh, uh, give me personalized feedback and improving my study.

✓ He gave me personalized feedback and helped improve my studies.

Maintain past tense: 'gave' not 'give'. 'Improving' alone is a participle; combine with 'helped' to form a correct clause 'helped improve my studies'. Use plural 'studies' for general academic work.

× Uh, give me a point around my mistake and give me idea.

✓ He pointed out my mistakes and gave me ideas.

Use past tense verbs 'pointed out' and 'gave' to match the past context. 'A point around my mistake' is unnatural; 'pointed out my mistakes' is idiomatic. 'Give me idea' needs plural 'ideas' or 'an idea' and past tense.
