Pontuação: 84.0Sugestão: 문장 구조를 조금 더 다양하게 하고 연결어를 사용해 문장들 간의 흐름을 더 자연스럽게 만드세요. 현재 답변은 명확하지만 간결성을 유지하면서 구체적 예시나 결과(예: 성적 향상 또는 특정 경험)를 하나 추가하면 더 설득력 있어집니다. 또한 ‘maths’와 ‘math’ 중 한 표현으로 일관성을 유지하세요.
Exemplo: Yes, I do. My favourite teacher was my middle school math teacher because she explained difficult concepts very clearly. For example, she used everyday examples to illustrate algebra, which helped me understand and improved my grades. As a result, I became more confident and began enjoying the subject.
Do you want to be a teacher in the future?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: 간단명료하지만 이유를 한두 문장으로 더 구체화하세요. 관심 분야를 언급한 뒤 그 이유(예: 성격, 기술, 흥미)를 덧붙이면 답변이 풍부해집니다. 또한 ‘just like’ 대신 ‘such as’ 같은 표현을 사용하면 더 자연스럽습니다.
Exemplo: Not really. I have a lot of respect for teachers, but I'm more interested in other fields such as advertising and planning because I enjoy creative problem-solving and working on campaigns. I also like collaborating with teams to develop ideas.
Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?
Pontuação: 88.0Sugestão: 좋은 답변이지만 한두 문장으로 그 교사가 만든 자료가 어떻게 도움이 되었는지 구체적으로 설명하세요(예: 활동, 시각 자료, 스토리텔링). 연결어를 넣어 이유-결과를 명확히 하면 더 완성도 있는 답변이 됩니다.
Exemplo: Yes, I still remember my middle school history teacher. He was passionate and even made his own materials, such as timelines and interactive quizzes, to help us understand events. Because of these materials, I found the lessons much more engaging and memorable.
Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?
Pontuação: 72.0Sugestão: ‘Umm’ 같은 비언어적 표현은 시험에서 줄이세요. 대신 간결한 Topic sentence를 사용한 뒤 이유를 덧붙이세요. 연락을 잃게 된 구체적 이유(예: 이사, 바쁜 생활)나 가끔 생각나는 방식(예: 사진, 추억)을 하나 추가하면 답변이 더 풍부해집니다.
Exemplo: No, I'm not, because it's been quite a long time and we've naturally lost touch after moving to different places. However, I still remember them fondly and sometimes look at old photos or recall memorable lessons.
In what way has your favourite teacher helped you?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: 문법과 단어 선택을 정확히 하세요(예: ‘helps’→‘helped’, ‘in mass’는 의미가 불분명함). 과거 상황이므로 과거 시제를 사용하고, 구체적 결과(예: 성적 향상, 특정 과제 성공)를 덧붙이세요. 연결어를 사용해 원인과 결과를 명확히 표현하면 좋습니다.
Exemplo: She helped me build confidence in math by patiently explaining each topic until I understood it. As a result, my test scores improved and I felt more willing to tackle difficult problems.
× My favorite teacher was my middle school math teacher.
✓ My favorite teacher is my middle school math teacher.
The student speaks about a continuing preference (favorite teacher) so present tense 'is' should be used instead of past 'was'. Suggestion: Use present tense for ongoing states or preferences (I am, he is).
× I wasn't very good at maths, but she explained things in a really clear and simple way which helped me stay motivated.
✓ I wasn't very good at math, but she explained things in a really clear and simple way that helped me stay motivated.
'Maths' is British plural form; if using American English use 'math'. Also 'which' is used for non-restrictive clauses and often requires a comma; 'that' is more natural for a defining clause here. Suggestion: Choose consistent variety (British/US) and use 'that' for essential clauses.
× Not really, I respect teachers a lot but I'm more interested in other fields, just like advertising or planning.
✓ Not really, I respect teachers a lot but I'm more interested in other fields, such as advertising or planning.
'Just like' is informal and can imply similarity rather than examples; 'such as' is better for listing examples. Tense is fine. Suggestion: Use 'such as' when giving examples.
× Yes, I still remember my middle school history teacher.
✓ Yes, I still remember my middle school history teacher.
Sentence is grammatically correct. No tense change needed because remembering a past person uses present simple correctly to indicate current memory.
× He was really passionate about history and he even created his own materials to help us understand the subject better.
✓ He was really passionate about history and he even created his own materials to help us understand the subject better.
Sentence is grammatically correct. Past tense 'was' and 'created' are appropriate because the teacher's actions occurred in the past.
× Umm, no I'm not. It's been a quite a long time so we naturally lost contact, but I still remember them.
✓ Umm, no I'm not. It's been quite a long time so we naturally lost contact, but I still remember them.
Minor article order issue 'a quite a long time' should be 'quite a long time' (removed 'a'). Tense usage is appropriate: present perfect 'it's been' and simple past 'lost' are correct. Suggestion: Remove the extra 'a' for natural phrasing.
× She really helps me build confidence in mass.
✓ She really helped me build confidence in math.
There are multiple issues: 'helps' vs 'helped' — the teacher is in the past so past tense 'helped' fits; 'mass' is a wrong word here, likely intended 'math'; 'in' collocation is better as 'in math' or 'with math' and 'build confidence' requires correct tense agreement. Suggestion: Use past tense for past teacher actions and correct the noun to 'math'.
× She always explained things patiently until I understood, which made me feel more confident about learning math.
✓ She always explained things patiently until I understood, which made me feel more confident about learning math.
Sentence is correct: past habitual 'always explained' aligns with 'until I understood' and the result clause 'which made me feel' is appropriately past. No change needed.
