Teachers— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more direct and natural. Start with a concise topic sentence, correct grammar (avoid double "and"), and add one specific detail to explain why you like him. Use a linking word for coherence.

例: Yes. My favorite teacher is my university professional instructor. He is kind and has a great sense of humour, so his lectures are engaging and easy to understand.

提案: Clarify your idea and fix grammar. Say why you want to teach (who and how). Use one linking word to expand the answer and keep it within 2–3 sentences.

例: Yes, I would like to be a teacher in the future because I enjoy sharing my knowledge with students. For example, I like explaining concepts clearly and helping others solve problems.

提案: Make the supporting detail more specific and use natural phrasing (e.g., "gave me confidence"). Use a linking word to connect the reason to the topic sentence.

例: Yes, I remember my high school teacher. He was kind and responsible, and because of him I gained confidence in both my studies and social life.

提案: Answer directly and improve grammar and clarity. Use one clear sentence stating whether you are in touch, then explain briefly why you cannot remember them.

例: No, I'm not in touch with them. I can't remember my primary school teachers well because I was very young at the time.

提案: Be specific about how he helped you and avoid vague phrases like "and so forth." Use linking words to structure your points and give concrete examples of help.

例: He helped me by explaining difficult professional concepts clearly and by encouraging me to join clubs, which improved my social skills and confidence.

× He is a very kind and and humorous.

✓ He is very kind and humorous.

The sentence uses 'a' before two adjectives; 'kind' and 'humorous' are predicative adjectives linked by 'and' and do not need the article 'a' before them. Also there is a duplicated 'and'. Remove the article and extra 'and' to form a correct adjective coordination: 'He is very kind and humorous.' Suggestion: Use 'very' before the adjective phrase and coordinate adjectives without an article.

× Yes, of course, because I really like to teach each other, use my knowledge.

✓ Yes, of course, because I really like to teach others and use my knowledge.

The student used 'teach each other' incorrectly. 'Each other' implies mutual action between two or more people, which doesn't fit 'I like to teach'. The correct object is 'others'. Also coordinate verbs should be connected with 'and' to match parallel structure: 'teach others and use my knowledge.' Suggestion: Use 'teach others' when the speaker teaches other people; keep verbs parallel with 'and'.

× He gave me a power for my study and social life.

✓ He gave me strength for my studies and social life.

'A power' is unnatural here; the intended meaning is likely 'courage' or 'strength'. Use 'strength' (uncountable) and pluralize 'study' to 'studies' when referring to general academic work. 'For my studies and social life' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: Choose the appropriate noun (strength, confidence, or support) and use 'studies' for academic activities.

× I was very young when I in the primary school.

✓ I was very young when I was in primary school.

The sentence omits the verb 'was' after 'I' and uses the article 'the' unnecessarily with 'primary school' in general reference. Add the past-tense verb 'was' and remove 'the' to say 'in primary school'. Suggestion: Ensure the verb is present for the clause ('I was') and drop 'the' when speaking about school in general.

× he very liked me.

✓ he liked me very much.

'Very' cannot directly modify the past tense verb 'liked' in this context; use the adverbial phrase 'very much' after the verb. Also capitalize 'He' at sentence start. Correct: 'He liked me very much.' Suggestion: Place 'very much' after verbs to intensify liking or similar verbs.

× He gave me a lot of knowledge, such as professional and social life and so forth.

✓ He gave me a lot of knowledge about professional and social life, and so forth.

The phrase 'knowledge, such as professional and social life' is awkward; 'knowledge about' is the correct prepositional phrase. Also specify the areas and keep parallel structure: 'knowledge about professional and social life.' Suggestion: Use 'knowledge about' when specifying the subject matter and keep items coordinated with 'and'.
