Teachers— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Good direct response with specific detail and example. To improve, make sentences more concise and correct small grammar points (e.g. “teaching style” singular or “styles” consistently) and avoid minor redundancy. Use a linking phrase to connect the reason and the example (for instance, “so” or “for example”) and keep the answer to 2–3 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes. My high‑school mathematics teacher is my favourite because his unorthodox teaching style made lessons engaging, so we learned through hands‑on activities rather than rote memorisation. This approach made difficult topics much more enjoyable and easier to understand.

Sugestão: You answer the question directly and give reasons, but some phrasing is a little repetitive (e.g. “motivate them and encourage them”) and there are minor grammar issues (“in their study” → “in their studies”). Try to use one clear linking word (e.g. “because” / “so”) and provide one concise specific example. Keep it to about 2–3 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes. I want to be a teacher because I enjoy helping students improve and reach their goals; for example, I would explain maths using simple, practical examples so learners gain confidence and perform better in their studies.

Sugestão: The idea is good, but there are grammatical errors and inconsistent pronouns (“she” then “he”), and awkward phrases (“passionate into her teaching”). Revise to correct pronouns, use natural phrasing (e.g. “passionate about teaching”), and add a linking phrase to show how her passion affected you. Keep it concise and specific about one example of how she made the subject relatable.

Exemplo: Yes. My unforgettable teacher was my high‑school chemistry teacher because she was passionate about teaching and used real‑world examples to make difficult concepts relatable, which helped me understand and remember the material better.

Sugestão: You answered directly and gave reasons, but the response is a bit long and ends awkwardly (“helped a lot of students like”). Remove filler phrases (“to be honest”), correct the incomplete ending, and use linking words (e.g. “however”) properly. Aim for 2–3 clear sentences with a complete final thought.

Exemplo: No, I’m not in touch with them; I moved abroad decades ago, so it’s difficult to contact them. However, my parents tell me they are well and that they continue to support many former pupils in the local community.

Sugestão: Your answer explains impact and gives an example, but it contains grammar issues and unclear phrasing (“I once treated this subject”). Be concise: state the effect, explain briefly how (use linking word “by” or “which”), and provide a clear result. Keep to 2–3 sentences and ensure pronouns match gender used earlier (teacher was male in first answer).

Exemplo: He boosted my confidence in maths by breaking complex problems into simple steps and giving clear, guided practice. As a result, I understood the concepts better and can now solve problems I used to find intimidating.

× My mathematics teacher in high school remains my favorite teacher because of his unorthodox and engaging teaching styles.

✓ My mathematics teacher in high school remains my favourite teacher because of his unorthodox and engaging teaching style.

Use 'favourite' for Australian English spelling. 'Teaching styles' implies multiple distinct styles but the context suits the singular collective noun 'teaching style'. Using 'style' is more natural and concise.

× For example, he makes mathematics fun by letting us do some math activities instead of letting us memorize formulas.

✓ For example, he made mathematics fun by having us do some math activities instead of making us memorise formulas.

The question asks about a past teacher (high school), so past tense is required. Replace 'letting us' with 'having us' or 'making us' for natural phrasing. Use Australian spelling 'memorise'.

× Yes, I would like to be a teacher because I want to help students improve themselves and become a mentor to achieve their dreams.

✓ Yes, I would like to be a teacher because I want to help students improve themselves and become mentors so they can achieve their dreams.

Maintain grammatical agreement and clarity: 'become a mentor to achieve their dreams' incorrectly suggests the mentor achieves dreams. Make subject plural 'mentors' and link purpose with 'so they can' to show students achieve their dreams.

× For instance, I could help them understand mathematics in simple ways and also motivate them and encourage them to do their best in their study.

✓ For instance, I could help them understand mathematics in simple ways and also motivate and encourage them to do their best in their studies.

Avoid repeating 'them' unnecessarily; combine verbs with one object: 'motivate and encourage them'. Use plural noun 'studies' for natural collocation.

× She was so passionate into her teaching that he let us appreciate the very hard subject by making real world examples and making it relatable.

✓ She was so passionate about her teaching that she helped us appreciate a very difficult subject by using real-world examples and making it relatable.

Use 'passionate about' not 'passionate into'. Pronoun inconsistency: 'he' should be 'she'. 'Very hard' is better as 'very difficult'. Use 'using real-world examples' and hyphenate 'real-world' in Australian English.

× Well, to be honest, I haven't seen them for a long time because it was decades ago and I moved abroad so it's difficult to contact them.

✓ Well, to be honest, I haven't seen them for a long time because it was decades ago and I moved abroad, so it's difficult to contact them.

Comma needed before 'so' to join clauses. Sentence is otherwise acceptable; no pronoun error here but punctuation improves clarity.

× However, I've heard from my parents who are living in the same place as them that they are doing well in their lives and also they have helped a lot of students like.

✓ However, I've heard from my parents, who live in the same place as them, that they are doing well and have helped a lot of students.

'Who are living' is more naturally 'who live'. Remove redundant 'in their lives'. Trailing 'like' is incorrect and removed. Add commas to set off the non-restrictive clause.

× My favorite teacher significantly boosted my confidence in solving mathematics problems.

✓ My favourite teacher significantly boosted my confidence in solving mathematics problems.

Use Australian spelling 'favourite'. The rest of the sentence is fine and correctly in past tense because the teacher's actions occurred in the past.

× For example, in high school, I once treated this subject, but my math teacher encouraged me to do it by making it simpler, so I was able to follow her instructions and understand the concepts clearly.

✓ For example, in high school, I once struggled with this subject, but my maths teacher encouraged me by making it simpler, so I was able to follow her instructions and understand the concepts clearly.

'Treated this subject' is incorrect; likely intended 'struggled with this subject'. Use 'maths' in Australian English. Remove redundant 'to do it' after 'encouraged me'.

× Now I can solve it.

✓ Now I can solve the problems.

Replace vague 'it' with 'the problems' to refer back to 'mathematics problems' and maintain present ability. This improves clarity and cohesion.
