Teachers— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and fix tense and article errors (e.g., “an art teacher,” “I wasn’t very good at drawing”).

예시: My favourite teacher was my high school art teacher. Although I wasn’t very good at drawing or other art subjects, she was patient and always explained techniques step by step, so I gradually improved. Because she never gave up on me and encouraged me, she became my favourite teacher.

제안: Give a clear topic sentence and one or two specific reasons with correct grammar. Use linking words to connect ideas and be careful with article and word forms (e.g., “become a good teacher,” “teaching is a job that”).

예시: Yes, I would like to be a teacher in the future. I want to become a good teacher like her because teaching is a job that can help students build a bright future, and I enjoy explaining ideas and supporting young people to grow.

제안: Be more specific and avoid vague or incorrect expressions. Start with a short topic sentence, then give concrete examples (e.g., too much homework, dull lessons). Correct grammar and word choice (e.g., “gave me a bad impression,” “he usually gave us a lot of homework”).

예시: Yes, I still remember my high school English teacher, but I didn’t like his lessons. He often gave us a lot of homework and his classes were quite lecture-based, so they felt boring; as a result, I had a negative impression of his teaching style.

제안: Answer directly and clearly, then give one brief reason. Fix tense and word choice (e.g., “I’m not still in touch” → “I’m not in touch anymore,” “I didn’t have social media or a phone”). Avoid contradictory phrases like “kind of possible.”

예시: No, I’m not in touch with my primary school teachers anymore. I didn’t have a phone or social media when I was young, so I never got their contact details.

제안: Start with a clear topic sentence describing one main way she helped you, then provide a specific example. Use past tense for past events and correct verb forms (e.g., “helped me with my assignments,” “she explained the context clearly”). Avoid filler phrases and rhetorical questions.

예시: She helped me a lot with my assignments. For example, when I didn’t understand the task or its context, she patiently explained the instructions and demonstrated techniques, which made it much easier for me to complete the work.

× I was not really good at at like drawing or like singing any art subject, but she was still teaching me a lot of stuff even I don't really understand.

✓ I was not really good at drawing or singing any art subject, but she still taught me a lot of things even when I didn't really understand.

Misuse of continuous/present participle forms and tense consistency. 'Teaching me' in this context should be simple past 'taught me' to match 'was' and the past timeframe. 'Even I don't really understand' is present tense and missing a subordinating word; change to 'even when I didn't really understand' for past time reference. Also remove duplicate 'at' and extra fillers 'like' to make the sentence grammatical and natural. Suggestion: Use simple past for completed past actions and ensure subordinate clauses use the same time reference.

× She never gives up with me.

✓ She never gave up on me.

Wrong quantifier/preposition and tense. The idiomatic phrase is 'give up on someone.' In a past narrative, use simple past 'gave.' Replace 'with' by 'on.' Suggestion: Learn common phrasal verbs and their correct prepositions, and keep tense consistent in narratives.

× So she's my favorite teacher.

✓ So she was my favorite teacher.

Tense inconsistency rather than plurality: the context describes past high school; maintain past tense 'was.' If kept as present 'is' it suggests she is still the favorite now; given preceding sentences are past, change to 'was.' Suggestion: Keep verb tenses consistent when describing past experiences.

× My dream is become a good teacher like her because I think teachers a job who can really help students to build a bright future.

✓ My dream is to become a good teacher like her because I think teaching is a job that can really help students build a bright future.

Missing 'to' before infinitive 'become;' 'teachers a job who' is ungrammatical — use 'teaching is a job that' (noun form) or 'teachers are people who.' Also remove the extra 'to' before 'build.' Suggestion: Use the infinitive form 'to become' and transform nouns/clauses correctly: 'teaching is a job that...' or 'teachers are people who...'. Keep subject-verb agreement ('teachers are').

× So I'd like to be one of the amazing teacher as well.

✓ So I'd like to be one of the amazing teachers as well.

Count noun error: 'one of the' must be followed by a plural noun ('teachers'). Also 'amazing' is an adjective modifying 'teachers,' which should be plural. Suggestion: After 'one of the' always use a plural noun.

× I remember my English teacher from my high school because to be honest I didn't really like him.

✓ I remember my English teacher from high school, but to be honest I didn't really like him.

Awkward connector and punctuation: 'because' suggests cause but the intended contrast is better expressed with 'but.' Also 'my high school' is acceptable but 'high school' is more natural. Ensure conjunction fits the intended meaning. Suggestion: Choose conjunctions that reflect intended relation (contrast vs reason).

× He was not one of the strict teachers and he usually gives us a lot of homework or assignments to do.

✓ He was not one of the strict teachers and he usually gave us a lot of homework or assignments to do.

Tense inconsistency: narrative is in past ('was'), so 'gives' should be past 'gave.' Suggestion: Maintain past tense throughout descriptions of past people or events.

× And then additionally his class was not like that fun, it was kind of boring.

✓ Additionally, his class was not very fun; it was kind of boring.

Awkward adverbial phrase 'not like that fun' is nonstandard. Use 'not very fun' or 'not that fun.' Also combine clauses with proper punctuation. Suggestion: Use standard adverbial modifiers ('not that fun' or 'not very fun') and proper sentence punctuation.

× So he gives me a bad reputations.

✓ So he gave me a bad reputation.

Number and tense errors: 'reputations' should be singular 'reputation' and 'gives' should be past 'gave' to match narrative tense. Suggestion: Ensure noun number matches context and keep tense consistent.

× Umm, not still contacting with my primary school teachers.

✓ Umm, I'm not still in contact with my primary school teachers.

Missing auxiliary verb and wrong preposition. Use 'I'm not still in contact with' or better 'I'm not still in touch with.' 'Contacting with' is incorrect. Suggestion: Use correct expressions: 'in touch with' or 'in contact with' and include appropriate auxiliary verbs for present continuous or present perfect contexts.

× I feel like because I was so young and then I didn't have any social media.

✓ I think it's because I was so young and I didn't have any social media accounts.

'I feel like because' is awkward; use 'I think it's because.' Also add 'accounts' after 'social media' for naturalness. Suggestion: Use clear causal connectors ('I think it's because') and include necessary nouns for completeness.

× Also I didn't have my phone as well.

✓ Also, I didn't have a phone either.

Use of 'my phone' implies ownership which may be fine, but natural phrasing is 'a phone.' 'As well' at end is awkward; use 'either.' Suggestion: Use 'a phone' unless emphasizing ownership, and use 'either' for negative addition.

× So it was kind of possible for me to have a contact number with my primary school teachers.

✓ So it wasn't really possible for me to have contact numbers for my primary school teachers.

Meaning reversed: original 'kind of possible' conflicts with context; should be 'wasn't really possible.' Also 'a contact number with' is wrong—use 'contact numbers for.' Suggestion: Ensure sentence polarity matches intended meaning and use correct noun phrases ('contact number for someone').

× My favorite teacher, she helps me with doing my assignment because usually in my high school I get lots of assignments to do and then I quite don't get it.

✓ My favorite teacher helped me with my assignments because in high school I usually got lots of assignments and I often didn't understand them.

Tense and gerund issues: mixing present 'helps' with past context. Use past 'helped.' 'Helps me with doing my assignment' is awkward; use 'helped me with my assignments.' 'I quite don't get it' is incorrect—use 'I often didn't understand them.' Suggestion: Use correct noun forms ('assignments') and consistent past tense when describing past experiences. Avoid 'quite' with negative present; use adverbs like 'often'.

× What's the context mean?

✓ What does the context mean?

Incorrect word order for forming a question. Use auxiliary 'does' for present simple third person and base verb 'mean.' Suggestion: For present simple questions, use 'do/does' + subject + base verb.

× But she never gives up with me and then she usually teach me everything really kindly so I can understand easily.

✓ But she never gave up on me and she usually taught me everything very kindly so I could understand easily.

Phrasal verb 'give up on' requires 'on' and past tense 'gave.' 'Teach' should be past 'taught' to match narrative. 'Really kindly' is awkward; 'very kindly' is more natural. Change 'can' to past 'could.' Suggestion: Use correct phrasal verbs, keep tense consistent, and choose natural adverb combinations.
