Teachers— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be careful with minor grammar (plural/singular) and try to vary linking words. Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences) and start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details with a linking word.

Example: Yes — my favourite teacher is Elena, who teaches English. She keeps us engaged by using group activities, which improved my speaking confidence. Also, she has a great sense of humor, so lessons are always lively and enjoyable.

Suggestion: Avoid redundancy and be careful with word choice (use 'resilience' correctly and watch article use). Combine related reasons into one coherent response using linking words like 'because' and 'also'.

Example: No, I don't want to be a teacher because it requires a lot of patience and responsibility, and I don't think my personality fits. Also, the job can be hectic and involves long hours, which I would find stressful.

Suggestion: Correct verb forms and avoid vague or repetitive phrasing. Be specific about what you learned and use linking words to connect ideas. Limit to 3–4 sentences and avoid unnecessary qualifiers like 'might be'.

Example: Yes, I remember my piano teacher, who taught me piano for two years and helped me improve my technique. She was strict but encouraging, which pushed me to practise more and achieve better results.

Suggestion: Use natural phrasing and correct grammar (e.g., 'many years ago', 'I moved'). Be concise and clearly contrast primary and later teachers using linking words like 'however' correctly. Give a short specific detail about how you keep in touch with current teachers.

Example: No, I'm not in touch with my primary school teachers because I moved many years ago and lost contact. However, I still keep in touch with my high school teachers and music tutors through social media and occasional messages.

Suggestion: Be precise and avoid awkward phrasing ('from the pre intermediate to advanced level' — use hyphens and articles). Give one specific example of how she helped (a method or activity) and use linking words to connect language and personal development points.

Example: My favourite teacher, Miss Elena, improved my English from pre-intermediate to advanced by focusing on speaking practice and targeted feedback. She also taught me patience and resilience by encouraging me to keep trying after mistakes.

Suggestion: Use the correct adjectives (e.g., 'professionalism', 'hardworking') and avoid listing similar qualities redundantly. Give a brief, specific reason why you prefer high school teachers (a teaching method or result).

Example: I'm not sure because I can't remember my primary school teachers well. However, I prefer my high school teachers because their clear explanations and regular feedback helped me understand difficult subjects better.

× Moreover, she's very funny and we share a similar sense of humor, so class are very lively and enjoyable.

✓ Moreover, she's very funny and we share a similar sense of humor, so the classes are very lively and enjoyable.

The noun 'class' in this context should be plural ('classes') because it refers to multiple lessons, and the definite article 'the' is needed before 'classes' to specify these particular classes. Use 'the classes' or 'our classes' for clarity.

× No, I don't think my personality suits this profession because being a teacher requires being patient, responsible and having a strong resilience.

✓ No, I don't think my personality suits this profession because being a teacher requires being patient, responsible and resilient.

Using 'having a strong resilience' is awkward. After a list of required qualities, use parallel adjectives: 'patient, responsible and resilient.' This keeps grammatical parallelism and correct adjective use.

× Despite this, teachers work long hours and receive a low income.

✓ Despite this, teachers work long hours and receive low incomes.

'Income' as a general countable noun referring to individual teachers should be plural ('low incomes') or use uncountable form without 'a' (e.g., 'receive low income' is less natural). Using plural clarifies that many teachers receive low incomes.

× She teach me how to play this musical instrument for two years and I'm really thankful for that.

✓ She taught me how to play this musical instrument for two years and I'm really thankful for that.

The action happened in the past, so the past tense verb 'taught' is required instead of present 'teach.' Use past simple for completed actions with a time period.

× Moreover, she is very demanding and resilient.

✓ Moreover, she was very demanding and resilient.

If referring to a past teacher ('from the past'), maintain past tense 'was.' If the teacher is still teaching, original might be acceptable; context indicates recalling a past teacher, so use past tense for consistency.

× No, I'm not in touch with my primary school teachers because it was long years ago and I changed my living place.

✓ No, I'm not in touch with my primary school teachers because it was many years ago and I changed my place of residence.

'Long years ago' is unnatural; use 'many years ago.' 'Changed my living place' is incorrect; use 'changed my place of residence' or 'moved' for natural expression.

× That's why it might be even harder to find their context.

✓ That's why it might be even harder to get in contact with them.

'Find their context' is incorrect. The intended meaning is contacting former teachers; use 'get in contact with them' or 'find them.' 'Contact' is the correct verb for reaching people.

× My favorite teacher, Miss Elena really improved my English skills and speaking, writing and reading abilities from the pre intermediate to advanced level.

✓ My favorite teacher, Miss Elena, really improved my English skills and my speaking, writing and reading abilities from the pre-intermediate to the advanced level.

Add commas around the name for apposition. Use 'my' before the list for parallelism. 'Pre intermediate' should be hyphenated as 'pre-intermediate,' and include 'the' before 'advanced level' for clarity.

× However, I really love my high school teachers for their professionality, patience, resilience and hard working abilities.

✓ However, I really admire my high school teachers for their professionalism, patience, resilience and hardworking abilities.

'Professionality' is not standard; use 'professionalism.' 'Hard working' should be 'hardworking' as a compound adjective; 'abilities' after 'hardworking' is awkward—consider 'work ethic' or 'hard work.' Use 'admire' or 'appreciate' instead of 'love' for appropriateness.

× They told me all the crucial material.

✓ They taught me all the crucial material.

'Told me' is less appropriate when referring to instruction; 'taught me' is the correct verb for describing teachers conveying course material. Use past tense 'taught' to match the past context.
