Teachers— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and clear: start with a direct topic sentence naming the teacher and the reason, then add one or two specific supporting details. Correct grammar (tenses, articles) and avoid repetition. Use linking words (for example, because and also) to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes. My favourite teacher was my Kannada teacher from first to seventh grade because she made learning fun and inspired many students. For example, she used storytelling and class activities that helped me speak confidently in public.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer first, then support with clear reason(s). Remove hesitations (uh) and repeated phrases. Use linking words like because or however to make the response coherent. Provide a short specific example of the area you want to explore.

Ejemplo: No, I don't. Because both of my parents are teachers and many relatives work in education, I prefer to explore a different field, such as software development, which I find more interesting.

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly and give a focused specific memory. Avoid unnecessary fillers. Use linking words to show cause and effect (for example, because, so) and include one clear result.

Ejemplo: Yes. I remember my mother because she prepared mock exam papers for me when I was young, so I practised regularly and this helped me overcome my exam anxiety.

Sugerencia: Start with a concise direct answer, then give brief supporting detail about why (e.g., distance or busy life) and what would happen if you met them. Remove fillers and avoid repeating words.

Ejemplo: Not really. I don't meet them often because I live far away, but if I see them I would recognise them and speak to them warmly.

Sugerencia: Give a direct topic sentence stating the main way the teacher helped (e.g., building confidence). Then provide one clear specific example, using linking words (for example, for instance) and correct tense. Remove hesitations and vague phrases like 'output'.

Ejemplo: My favourite teacher helped me build confidence. For instance, during my first seminar she gave encouraging feedback after a poor performance, and that support motivated me to improve and speak better in later presentations.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear direct answer (e.g., you can't choose) and then give two contrasting, specific reasons using linking words like because and whereas. Avoid repetition and fillers; correct grammar and vocabulary (e.g., 'influential', 'good grades').

Ejemplo: I can't choose because both influenced me differently: my primary teachers taught me the fundamentals of reading and writing, whereas my high school teachers developed my critical thinking, which helped me get good grades in difficult subjects.

× Yes, I do have a favorite teacher in all phases of my studies during my primary school that is from Stan first standard to 7th standard.

✓ Yes, I have a favorite teacher from my primary school, who taught me from first to seventh standard.

The original sentence is awkward and contains redundancy ('do have', 'in all phases of my studies during my primary school', 'Stan first standard'). This is a sentence structure error. Simplify and reorder the sentence to clearly state the idea: use 'I have' instead of 'I do have' for natural present possession, remove redundant phrases, and use a relative clause 'who taught me from first to seventh standard' for clarification.

× I had AI had one teacher who was teaching Kannada and she was my favorite because she has inspired many students being.

✓ I had one teacher who taught Kannada, and she was my favorite because she inspired many students.

The original sentence has repetition ('I had AI had'), incorrect tense mix ('was teaching' with 'has inspired'), and an incorrect ending 'being'. This is a sentence structure error. Use simple past 'taught' to match 'I had', and simple past 'inspired' to keep tense consistent. Remove extraneous word 'being'.

× That's a good question but uh I do not wish to be a teacher because my both the my both the parents are teacher and if we come if we see my family background, most of them are teachers.

✓ That's a good question, but I do not wish to be a teacher because both my parents are teachers, and many members of my family are teachers as well.

This sentence contains repetition ('my both the my both the'), incorrect noun forms ('parents are teacher'), and awkward phrasing ('if we come if we see my family background'). It's a sentence structure error. Remove repetitions, use plural 'teachers', and rephrase 'many members of my family' for clarity.

× So I wanted to explore some other domain which I feel interesting.

✓ So I want to explore some other field that I find interesting.

The original mixes past 'wanted' with present context and uses incorrect adjective construction 'which I feel interesting.' This is a sentence structure error. Use present tense 'want' to match the stated preference, and use 'find interesting' or 'that I find interesting' for correct adjective use.

× Yes, both my parents are teachers.

✓ Yes, both my parents are teachers.

This sentence is grammatically correct. Present third person plural 'parents are' matches. No change required.

× I still remember my mother used to prepare question papers, uh, during my school days.

✓ I still remember that my mother used to prepare question papers during my school days.

The original is mostly correct but missing a subordinating conjunction; this is a verb + -ing/formal connector issue. Add 'that' to smoothly link the clauses. 'Used to prepare' correctly expresses habitual past action.

× So I used to answer that and go to exam.

✓ So I used to answer them and take the exams.

'Answer that' is unclear and 'go to exam' is unidiomatic. This is a sentence structure error. Use 'answer them' (referring to question papers) and the verb phrase 'take the exams' for correct collocation.

× So which helped me uh, in getting over uh, exam fear.

✓ This helped me overcome my fear of exams.

The original fragment begins with 'So which' and is an incomplete relative clause; it's a sentence structure error. Rephrase as a full sentence: 'This helped me overcome my fear of exams.' Use 'fear of exams' as the correct noun phrase and 'overcome' as the verb.

× Not really, umm, I didn't get a chance to meet them very often, but if I get a chance or if I see them every anywhere I can recognize them.

✓ Not really; I don't get a chance to meet them often, but if I see them anywhere I can recognize them.

The original mixes past and present ('didn't get' vs ongoing reality), has redundant phrases ('if I get a chance or if I see them every anywhere'), and awkward adverb placement. Use present tense 'don't get' for current situation, remove redundancy, and simplify to 'if I see them anywhere I can recognize them.'

× I and I can, umm, talk to them nicely.

✓ I can talk to them comfortably.

'I and I can' is a pronoun/repetition error and awkward. This fits incorrect use of pronouns. Simplify to 'I can talk to them comfortably' or 'I can speak with them politely.'

× They had, they have helped me in building the confidence.

✓ They have helped me build my confidence.

The original repeats tense ('They had, they have') and uses an awkward prepositional phrase 'in building the confidence.' This is a sentence structure error. Choose present perfect 'have helped' to indicate past actions with present relevance and use 'build my confidence' for natural phrasing.

× So during my MPA, there was one, uh, professor who encouraged me a lot and who helped me overcome the stage where during my first seminar, I didn't do that great.

✓ During my MPA, there was a professor who encouraged me a lot and helped me overcome the stage where, during my first seminar, I didn't do very well.

Tense use is acceptable but phrasing 'didn't do that great' is informal and ungrammatical. This is a past tense/register issue. Use 'didn't do very well' for correct and more formal expression.

× But, uh, her output and her reaction gave me the confidence that I can overcome it.

✓ Her feedback and reaction gave me the confidence that I could overcome it.

'Output' is an inappropriate word here; 'feedback' is correct. Also change 'can' to past-in-the-past 'could' to maintain sequence of tenses after 'gave me the confidence.' This is a sentence structure and tense consistency error.

× I can't really choose between them because both both are uh, inflation influential in different ways.

✓ I can't really choose between them because both are influential in different ways.

The original repeats 'both' and includes a garbled word 'inflation influential.' This is a sentence structure error. Remove repetition and use the correct adjective 'influential.'

× My primary school teacher gave me the basics in learning, which helped me later on, but my high school teacher helped me in critical thinking, which helped me uh, in getting a good grades in the UH, difficult.

✓ My primary school teachers gave me the basics of learning, which helped me later, while my high school teachers helped me develop critical thinking, which helped me get good grades in difficult subjects.

Multiple issues: singular/plural mismatch ('teacher' vs 'teachers'), awkward prepositions ('basics in learning'), repeated and ungrammatical phrasing ('in getting a good grades in the UH, difficult'). This is a sentence structure and pluralization error. Use plural 'teachers' if referring to more than one, 'basics of learning', 'develop critical thinking', and 'get good grades in difficult subjects' for clear, grammatical phrasing.
