Teachers— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be careful with accuracy and minor grammar mistakes, and avoid small unclear phrases. Use a clear topic sentence, then one or two specific supporting details joined with linking words. Correct slips like “stayed off the class” to “stayed after class,” and reduce repetition of ideas about patience by giving one concise example.

Example: My favorite teacher was my high school English teacher because she was very patient and explained difficult grammar clearly. For example, she stayed after class to help me revise an essay, which improved my vocabulary and overall writing score.

Suggestion: Good direct answer and clear reasons. To improve, add a linking phrase to connect reasons and a brief specific example of the skills you enjoy using in IT. Keep it concise and natural (no repeated “I think/ I plan”).

Example: No, I don't want to be a teacher. I prefer working with computers because I enjoy programming and problem-solving; for example, I’ve built small web apps that sharpened my logical thinking, so I plan to study computer science instead.

Suggestion: Answer repeats earlier content and contains unclear or incorrect phrases (“made class,” tense errors). Provide a clear topic sentence, use correct tenses, and avoid filler phrases like “That's interesting.” Give one precise example with correct grammar and a linking word to show result.

Example: Yes, I still remember my high school English teacher because she helped me improve my speaking skills. For example, she often asked us to give short presentations and then gave constructive feedback, which made me more confident in class.

Suggestion: Clear and natural answer with relevant details. To improve slightly, remove fillers (“Umm, well”), correct small phrasing (“send a message on holidays” → “exchange messages on holidays”), and add a linking word to connect ideas smoothly.

Example: No, I'm not in regular contact with my primary school teachers because we moved to a different city when I was young. However, I sometimes see one of them at school reunions, and we exchange messages on holidays.

Suggestion: Good structure and specific example. Fix minor errors (double “in,” tense consistency: “because of that I felt more confident and got a much better grade”), and use linking words to connect cause and result clearly. Keep it concise—avoid repeating the same idea twice.

Example: She helped me by explaining difficult topics simply and giving extra practice. For example, before an important test she stayed after class to review my mistakes, so I felt more confident and achieved a much better grade.

Suggestion: Clear comparison and specific examples. Improve by tightening phrasing (remove filler “Well, I think”), use one linking word for contrast (e.g., “whereas”), and ensure sentences remain concise and coherent.

Example: I prefer my primary school teachers because they were kind and made lessons fun with games and stories, so I felt happy at school, whereas my high school teachers were more serious and focused on exam preparation.

× She was very patient, explained things clearly so I understood difficult grammar better.

✓ She was very patient and explained things clearly, so I understood difficult grammar better.

This sentence is missing a coordinating conjunction between two independent clauses ('She was very patient' and 'explained things clearly'). Adding 'and' joins the clauses correctly. Also adding a comma before 'so' clarifies the cause-effect relationship. Suggestion: connect related independent clauses with appropriate conjunctions and punctuation.

× For example, she stayed off the class once to help me with an essay, and that really improved my writing.

✓ For example, she stayed after class once to help me with an essay, and that really improved my writing.

The phrase 'stayed off the class' is incorrect; the correct prepositional phrase is 'stayed after class' meaning she remained following class. This is a preposition error (use of wrong preposition) causing an unidiomatic verb phrase. Suggestion: use common collocations like 'stay after class' for the intended meaning.

× I don't want to be a teacher in the future.

✓ I don't want to be a teacher in the future.

No correction needed; sentence is grammatically acceptable. (Included to show it matches allowed types but requires no change.)

× She was very patient and made class.

✓ She was very patient and led the class.

The original 'made class' is ungrammatical and unclear. The intended meaning is likely that she conducted or led the class, so 'led the class' or 'taught the class' is appropriate. Suggestion: use verbs that collocate with 'class' such as 'lead', 'teach', or 'run'.

× For example, she often asks us to do short presentations and gave kind feedback, so I become more confident in the class.

✓ For example, she often asked us to do short presentations and gave kind feedback, so I became more confident in the class.

Mixed tenses are used incorrectly: 'often asks' (present) with 'gave' (past) and 'become' (present). Because the context describes past actions by a past teacher, all verbs should be in the past tense: 'often asked', 'gave', and 'became'. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent within the same time frame.

× We moved to a different city when I was young so I lost touch with most of them.

✓ We moved to a different city when I was young, so I lost touch with most of them.

Main issue is missing comma before coordinating conjunction 'so' joining independent clauses. Also preposition use is correct. Added comma improves clarity. Suggestion: punctuate independent clauses properly.

× But I do sometimes see one teacher at school reunions and we send a message on holidays.

✓ But I do sometimes see one teacher at school reunions and we send messages on holidays.

'Send a message' suggests a single message; the meaning likely intends repeated greetings on holidays, so plural 'messages' fits better. Also 'on holidays' is acceptable. Suggestion: match singular/plural with habitual actions.

× Well, my favorite teacher helped me a lot by explaining difficult topics in in a simple way.

✓ Well, my favorite teacher helped me a lot by explaining difficult topics in a simple way.

There is a duplicated preposition 'in in' which is a typographical/word repetition error. Remove the extra 'in'. Also 'in a simple way' is acceptable; could be made more natural as 'simply'. Suggestion: proofread to remove repeated words.

× For example, before an important test she stayed after class to go over my mistakes and because of that I feel more confident and got a much better grade.

✓ For example, before an important test she stayed after class to go over my mistakes, and because of that I felt more confident and got a much better grade.

This sentence mixes past ('stayed', 'got') with present ('I feel'). The events occurred in the past, so 'I felt' should be used to maintain tense consistency. Also add a comma before 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: keep past events in past tense throughout.

× Do you like your primary school teachers more than your high school teachers?

✓ Do you like your primary school teachers more than your high school teachers?

No correction needed; the question is grammatical. (Included to indicate it's acceptable.)

× They were very kind and patient, and they made lessons fun with games and stories, so I felt happy at school.

✓ They were very kind and patient, and they made lessons fun with games and stories, so I felt happy at school.

No correction needed; subject-verb agreement and structure are correct. (Included to show conformity.)

× For example, my first grade teacher always helped me when I was shy and that made a big difference, but my high school teachers were more serious and helped me prepare for exams.

✓ For example, my first-grade teacher always helped me when I was shy, and that made a big difference, but my high-school teachers were more serious and helped me prepare for exams.

Hyphenation of compound adjectives before nouns ('first-grade', 'high-school') is recommended in formal writing, though not strictly a grammar error. Added a comma before 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: use hyphens for compound modifiers to improve clarity.
