Teachers— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Give a brief topic sentence that directly answers and then add one or two specific reasons or a short description to make it more natural and informative. Use linking words like 'because' or 'who' to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I have a favorite teacher because she made lessons interesting and cared about each student. For example, she used real-life stories and group activities that helped me understand difficult topics better.

Sugerencia: Keep the clear topic sentence but make the wording more natural and concise. Give one specific reason and an example of how you would inspire others. Avoid vague phrases like 'is really inspiring me.'

Ejemplo: Yes, I would like to be a teacher in the future because I enjoy helping others learn. For instance, I would use creative examples and hands-on activities to make lessons engaging and boost students' confidence.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence and then give specific details about what the teacher did. Use linking words (e.g., 'for example', 'she would') and avoid repeating the same phrase. Be natural and concise.

Ejemplo: Yes, I remember a teacher from secondary school who supported me a lot. For example, she stayed after class to explain grammar, gave extra reading lists, and encouraged me to practice speaking in class.

Sugerencia: Provide a direct short sentence and a brief reason or context to sound natural. If you are not in touch, say why (e.g., moved away, lost contact) and add a linking word like 'because' to make it coherent.

Ejemplo: No, I'm not still in touch with my primary school teachers because I moved cities after school and we lost contact. However, I sometimes think about their lessons and advice.

Sugerencia: Organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and then list specific ways she helped using linking words (e.g., 'for example', 'such as'). Use correct grammar for lists and avoid filler words like 'uh'. Be specific about what resources or methods helped you.

Ejemplo: She helped me in many practical ways. For example, she recommended useful websites for reading, suggested books appropriate for my level, and gave extra worksheets to practice grammar and vocabulary.

× Yes, I want to be a teacher in the future because I like to teach people and being a teacher is really inspiring me.

✓ Yes, I want to be a teacher in the future because I like to teach people and being a teacher really inspires me.

The phrase 'being a teacher is really inspiring me' incorrectly uses the progressive form 'inspiring me' where a general truth or permanent state is intended. Use the simple present 'inspires' for habitual or general facts. Also, 'being a teacher really inspires me' is more natural and concise. Suggestion: Use simple present after verbs of feeling or general statements (X inspires me), and avoid progressive where not describing a current ongoing action.

× Yes, I still remember a teacher from my secondary school because she's always helped me to study, she always helped me to improve my English and more.

✓ Yes, I still remember a teacher from my secondary school because she always helped me study; she always helped me improve my English and more.

The sentence mixes tenses and uses 'she's always helped' (contraction of 'she has') with past simple 'helped', causing inconsistency. Also 'helped me to study' is acceptable but 'helped me study' is more natural. Use past simple consistently for events in the past: 'she always helped me'. Combine clauses with a semicolon or conjunction to avoid run-on. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent (past simple) and remove unnecessary 'to' after 'helped'. Additional note: If the teacher's help extended into the present, use present perfect consistently (e.g., 'she has always helped me').

× Not.

✓ No, I'm not.

The student answered 'Not.' which is incomplete and lacks a verb, making it a sentence fragment. The question 'Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?' expects a yes/no response with an auxiliary verb: 'No, I'm not' or 'No, I'm not in touch with them.' Suggestion: Provide a complete short answer including the auxiliary verb or a full sentence.

× She always helped me to uh, find some website can help me to read, some book that can help me and more worksheet to improve my English.

✓ She always helped me find websites that could help me read, books that could help me, and more worksheets to improve my English.

Multiple problems: 'find some website' should be plural 'websites' (singular/plural issue) and needs 'that could help me' to introduce relative clause; 'can help me to read' mixes modal and infinitive awkwardly; 'some book' should be plural or parallel; 'more worksheet' should be plural 'worksheets'. The main error type here is incorrect use of prepositions and sentence structure leading to missing relative pronouns and wrong number forms. Suggestions: Use plural nouns when appropriate, include relative clauses ('websites that could help me read'), and use parallel structure in lists. Also remove unnecessary 'to' after 'help' and avoid filler 'uh'.
