Teachers— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be clearer and more concise. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid unclear phrases and filler words (uh, um). Use correct grammar (e.g., “encouraging”), and explain why you liked him with a concrete example.

Ejemplo: Yes. My favorite teacher was my college English teacher because he explained difficult ideas clearly and encouraged every student to speak. For example, he organized weekly translation workshops where he gave detailed feedback, which made the lessons interesting and helped me improve quickly.

Sugerencia: Give a direct clear statement about your current role and motivations. Use linking words to structure reasons (e.g., because, so). Correct grammar (e.g., “I have been a teacher for two years,” “my subject is physics,” “explain difficult topics”). Replace fillers with precise vocabulary and provide a short example of what you do.

Ejemplo: Yes. I am already a teacher — I have been teaching physics for two years because I enjoy science and explaining complex ideas. For example, I use demonstrations and simple analogies to make hard concepts like electricity easier for students to understand.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence naming the memorable teacher, then give specific reasons and one concrete memory. Avoid confusing metaphors unless explained (e.g., “like a second parent”). Use correct tense and reduce repetition and fillers.

Ejemplo: Yes, I still remember my English teacher from college because he supported us beyond lessons. For instance, he stayed after class to help students with personal projects and gave advice like a second parent, which made him unforgettable.

Sugerencia: Answer directly (Yes/No) and correct grammar (e.g., “I haven't kept in touch”). Give a short reason and a specific detail about what you remember. Use linking words (however, because) to make it coherent.

Ejemplo: No, I haven't kept in touch with my primary school teacher since graduation, but I remember her well. Her name was Ian and she gave me a strong foundation in maths and reading, which helped me in later studies before my family moved and we lost contact.

Sugerencia: Be specific about the type of help and give a concrete example or result. Use clear language (e.g., “believed in me,” “gave me confidence during difficult times”). Avoid vague phrases and finish the thought; use linking words like therefore or as a result.

Ejemplo: He helped me most by believing in my potential, which increased my confidence. For example, when I struggled with speaking, he encouraged me to present in class and, as a result, I became more confident and improved my grades.

Sugerencia: Make a clear comparison and state a preference directly. Use coherent linking words (however, but) and correct unclear or incorrect phrases (e.g., "I started on lithium" is incorrect). Provide specific reasons why you prefer primary teachers, with one brief example.

Ejemplo: I would say I prefer my primary school teachers slightly more because they built my basic skills and were very caring. However, I also respect my high school teachers for their subject knowledge; for example, my primary teacher helped me develop study habits that still help me today.

× Yes, I do. I have my favorite teacher from college.

✓ Yes, I do. I have a favorite teacher from college.

The phrase 'my favorite teacher' is acceptable but 'I have my favorite teacher' is awkward; native speakers say 'I have a favorite teacher' to introduce someone. Use the indefinite article 'a' because you are introducing one among many, not a uniquely owned item.

× He was my English teacher.

✓ He was my English teacher.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed.

× He was very explicit and then encouraged in us.

✓ He was very clear and encouraged us.

'Explicit' is not the best word for teaching style; 'clear' fits better. 'Encouraged in us' is ungrammatical: the verb 'encourage' takes a direct object (encourage someone) and optionally a preposition 'in' for qualities (encourage confidence in us). The intended meaning is 'encouraged us', so remove 'in'.

× So as a translator, he was it was the our main subject and that we liked uh, because of him this lesson.

✓ As an English teacher, he made the subject our main focus, and we liked the lessons because of him.

The original sentence has multiple structural problems and mixed phrases. 'As a translator' is likely wrong context; 'As an English teacher' fits. Remove redundant words 'it was the our', correct noun phrase 'main subject' to 'main focus' or 'main subject', and reorder to 'we liked the lessons because of him' for clarity.

× Yes, I want actually, I'm a teacher.

✓ Yes, actually I want to be a teacher.

The student intended to express a future desire. 'I'm a teacher' contradicts the question about future aspiration. Use 'want to be' to express desire to become a teacher. Place adverb 'actually' before the main clause for natural order.

× Actually, it has been two years, uh, since I started work as a teacher, but the, my subject is a physics.

✓ Actually, it has been two years since I started working as a teacher, and my subject is physics.

Use the present perfect 'has been' with 'since' correctly; 'started work' is better as 'started working'. Remove unnecessary article 'a' before 'physics' because subjects are uncountable and do not take 'a'. Fix conjunction to 'and' for clarity.

× I like the science, so that's why I chose the physics.

✓ I like science, so that's why I chose physics.

Do not use the definite article 'the' before uncountable subjects like 'science' and 'physics'. Articles are unnecessary here.

× Uh, I want to, uh, start educate the students and make them hard thing clear.

✓ I want to start educating the students and make difficult concepts clear to them.

After 'start' use the -ing form 'educating'. 'Make them hard thing clear' is ungrammatical; use 'make difficult concepts clear to them' or 'clarify difficult things for them'. This corrects verb form and word order.

× Actually, I remember my many teachers by the most memorable one loved 1 is my English teacher.

✓ Actually, I remember many teachers, but the most memorable one is my English teacher.

Fix word order and remove extraneous words like 'by' and 'loved 1'. Use 'many teachers' (not 'my many teachers') and connect clauses with 'but'.

× I, as I said before, uh, he is not. He was not only my teacher, he was our mother.

✓ As I said before, he was not only my teacher; he was like a father to us.

'He is not' is incorrect in context; use past 'was' for someone remembered. 'He was our mother' is culturally and grammatically odd—likely intended 'like a father to us' or 'like a parent to us'. Use 'like a father' or 'like a parent'.

× I haven't keep in touch with my primary school teacher after the graduation, but I remember her.

✓ I haven't kept in touch with my primary school teacher since graduation, but I remember her.

Use present perfect 'haven't kept' (past participle 'kept') after 'haven't'. Use 'since graduation' rather than 'after the graduation' for natural phrasing. 'The' before 'graduation' is unnecessary in general statements.

× Actually her name is Ian.

✓ Actually, her name is Aylin.

Unclear whether name was intended; 'Ian' is typically a male name in English. If the student's teacher is female, likely name is 'Aylin' or similar. If 'Ian' is correct, no grammar error, but include comma after 'Actually' for natural speech punctuation. If name is unknown, no change.

× She's very experienced and they gave me strong foundation of the mass and reading.

✓ She's very experienced and she gave me a strong foundation in math and reading.

Pronoun agreement: 'they' should be 'she' to match 'she's'. Use 'a strong foundation in' not 'of the mass'. 'Mass' likely intended 'math'. Use 'in' after 'foundation'.

× Unfortunately I moved another seat and we lost contact.

✓ Unfortunately I moved to another town/area and we lost contact.

'Moved another seat' is incorrect; people 'move seats' but moving schools or locations fits context of losing contact. If they changed seats in class, say 'I moved to another seat' but that wouldn't usually end contact. Choose 'moved to another town' if intended; use 'to' after 'moved'.

× Actually, he, he helped me in many ways, but the most, uh, touchable one, uh, that I still remember.

✓ Actually, he helped me in many ways, but the most memorable one is the one I still remember.

'Touchable' is wrong; 'memorable' fits. Simplify redundant words and use clear clause 'the most memorable one is the one I still remember'.

× He believed in me more than I did and it gives me power.

✓ He believed in me more than I believed in myself, and that gave me strength.

Clarify comparison by specifying 'believed in myself' and match past tense 'believed' with 'gave' rather than 'gives'. 'Power' is acceptable but 'strength' is more natural.

× It gave me power to move the support in hard time.

✓ It gave me the strength to get through difficult times.

Original phrase is unclear. Use idiomatic expression 'get through difficult times' or 'cope in hard times' and 'gave me the strength' for clarity.

× 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?

This question sentence is correct; no change needed.

× Actually, I'll I can say that I like almost my old teachers from the main subjects because I started on lithium.

✓ Actually, I can say that I like almost all my old teachers from the main subjects because I started in a competitive environment.

Remove extraneous 'I'll', change 'almost my old teachers' to 'almost all my old teachers'. 'Started on lithium' is nonsense—likely meant 'started in a competitive environment' or 'at a competitive school'. Adjust to logical phrase.

× There was a stuff very competitive.

✓ It was a very competitive environment.

'Stuff' is incorrect; use 'environment' or 'school' and correct word order to 'a very competitive environment'.

× So I like and appreciate or respect all my teachers, but as as my first teacher, the closest one is my primary teacher.

✓ So I like, appreciate, and respect all my teachers, but the closest to me is my primary school teacher, who was like my first teacher.

Remove repeated 'as', use parallel verbs 'like, appreciate, and respect'. Clarify comparison 'the closest to me' and specify 'primary school teacher' for clarity. Ensure logical ordering.
