Teachers— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Improve grammar and clarity, keep answers concise (max 4–5 sentences), and use clearer linking words. Correct sentence structure (e.g., “She is super funny and never lets lessons become awkward or too serious”). Replace unclear phrases (“taught at this length from them”) with precise descriptions and avoid fragmented sentences. Add one specific example and use a linking word to connect ideas.

Exemplo: My favorite teacher is my high-school English teacher who taught online. She was very funny and never let lessons become awkward or too serious. For example, she used clips from the TV show Friends to teach vocabulary and grammar, which made learning feel natural. As a result, I enjoyed class and remembered words more easily.

Sugestão: Work on grammar, coherence and removing unclear phrases (e.g., “because of my health” is irrelevant). Use linking words (however, for example) to contrast benefits and concerns. Fix sentence fragments and subject-verb agreement, and be specific about concerns (e.g., lack of patience dealing with distractions). Keep within 4–5 sentences.

Exemplo: I'm not sure. On the one hand, I enjoy helping others learn and it would be rewarding to see a student finally understand a difficult topic. However, I worry I might not have the patience for classroom disruptions or repetitive explanations. Therefore, I am considering part-time teaching rather than a full-time career.

Sugestão: Improve accuracy and phrasing (e.g., “go on to do something amazing”). Combine sentences to be concise and use a linking word to show the effect of the teacher’s words. Use correct verb tenses and singular/plural agreement.

Exemplo: Yes, I remember many teachers, especially my primary school math teacher. She was very supportive and once told me she believed I would go on to do something amazing. That encouragement mattered a lot when I was a child, and I am still grateful for her confidence in me.

Sugestão: Focus on grammar, word choice and coherence. Use correct past tense (“after I got into university”) and clearer phrases (“moving to another city made it difficult to keep in touch”). Remove fragmented questions and use linking words (so, therefore). Keep to 3–4 sentences and give a specific plan if mentioning reconnecting.

Exemplo: Unfortunately, no. After I got into university I moved to another city, so it became difficult to keep in touch. I am not usually someone who reconnects with old teachers, but I think I will send them messages this Thanksgiving or on Teacher's Day.

Sugestão: This answer is clear and well-structured; to improve further, use precise linking words (for example, then, as a result) and avoid slight tense inconsistencies. Keep it concise and ensure each sentence flows logically. You could add a specific example of a topic you later shared to show long-term impact.

Exemplo: When I was young I was afraid to share my thoughts. Once a teacher couldn't explain a question, so I explained my idea to her and she repeated it to the class and praised me. As a result, my confidence grew and I gradually became more willing to speak up in future lessons.

Sugestão: Correct small grammar errors (“worked very closely”), maintain concise structure, and add a linking phrase to explain cause and effect (e.g., because, therefore). Provide one concrete example of how teachers helped (extra classes, feedback) to make it more specific.

Exemplo: No, I preferred my high-school teachers. Because the college entrance exam in China is extremely competitive, we worked very closely for long hours. They gave extra classes and frequent feedback, which pushed us and helped many students get into better universities.

× She is the Super funny person and never let it cause awkward or serious.

✓ She is a super funny person and never lets things become awkward or serious.

Incorrect capitalization and article: 'Super' should be lowercase and 'person' needs the article 'a'. Subject-verb agreement requires 'lets' for 'she'. The phrase 'let it cause awkward or serious' is ungrammatical; 'lets things become awkward or serious' is natural. Suggest practicing article use with professions/roles and subject-verb agreement in present simple.

× She used to show the clips of the TV show such as friends in the class and taught at this length from them instead of asking.

✓ She used to show clips of TV shows such as Friends in class and teach from them instead of just asking us to memorize vocabulary lists.

Awkward verb forms and word order: 'taught at this length from them' is incorrect. Use base verb 'teach' after 'used to' and correct object phrases: 'clips of TV shows such as Friends' and 'teach from them'. Also 'Friends' is a title and should be capitalized. Suggest studying 'used to' + base verb and noun phrase order.

× Bring us to memorize the vocabulary list only.

✓ instead of just asking us to memorize vocabulary lists.

Sentence fragment and incorrect verb form 'Bring us to'—context requires 'asking us to'. 'Vocabulary list' should be plural or unspecified 'vocabulary lists' or 'a vocabulary list'. Use 'just' for emphasis. Suggest reviewing verb patterns: 'ask someone to do something' and quantifier/number agreement for countable nouns.

× So that made her lessons much more enjoyable and helped me learn more naturally.

✓ That made her lessons much more enjoyable and helped me learn more naturally.

Sentence beginning with 'So that' is redundant; use 'That' to refer to previous idea. Tense 'made' and 'helped' are correct past; only wording simplified. Suggest focusing on cohesive devices and concise sentence starts.

× I'm not completely sure to be honest.

✓ I'm not completely sure, to be honest.

Missing comma for interjection 'to be honest' but grammar type listed as tense—main issue is punctuation and natural phrasing; however tense 'I'm not completely sure' is present and fine. Suggestion: use commas for parenthetical phrases.

× I like the part where teachers can help students grow and learn something new.

✓ I like that teachers can help students grow and learn new things.

'The part where' is awkward; use 'that' or 'the idea that'. 'Something new' is vague; 'new things' is more natural. Suggest practicing noun phrase choices and pronoun/reference clarity.

× For example, I think it's really rewarding when someone fully understand a topic they used to struggle with or becomes more confident because of my health.

✓ For example, I think it's really rewarding when someone fully understands a topic they used to struggle with or becomes more confident because of their progress.

Subject-verb agreement: 'someone' requires 'understands'. Also 'because of my health' is illogical in context; likely meant 'their progress' or 'their learning'. Suggest reviewing subject-verb agreement with indefinite pronouns and ensuring pronoun reference consistency.

× But at the same time I don't know if I'm patient enough to be a teacher full time.

✓ But at the same time, I don't know if I'm patient enough to be a full-time teacher.

Placement of 'full time' is awkward; use hyphenated 'full-time' before a noun. Added comma for clarity. Suggest studying compound adjectives.

× Like teachers have to deal with students repeating the same. Mistakes or not paying attention sometimes and I think that could be exhausting.

✓ For example, teachers have to deal with students repeating the same mistakes or not paying attention sometimes, and I think that could be exhausting.

Fragmented sentence: 'Like teachers...' is informal and splits 'same mistakes' across sentences. Merge clauses, correct word order and punctuation. Suggest practicing complex sentence formation and avoiding sentence fragments.

× Actually, one of them that I still remember is my math teacher at primary school.

✓ Actually, one of them whom I still remember is my math teacher from primary school.

Relative clause: use 'whom' or rephrase as 'one I still remember'. Also 'from primary school' is more natural. Suggest reviewing relative pronouns and reducing formality choices.

× She was really supportive and I remember one time she told me she believed that I would go up doing something amazing.

✓ She was really supportive and I remember one time she told me she believed that I would end up doing something amazing.

Incorrect verb phrase 'go up doing' should be 'end up doing'. Preposition/verb choice fixed. Suggest studying common verb phrases like 'end up doing'.

× I feel like when you are a kid, words like that matters a lot and I am really grateful that she could say that.

✓ I feel like when you are a kid, words like that matter a lot, and I am really grateful that she said that.

Subject-verb agreement: 'words' require 'matter'. 'Could say' is odd in past memory; 'said' is appropriate. Suggest reviewing agreement rules and tense consistency in reported memories.

× Unfortunately no, because after I get into the university I moved to another city which permitted me from getting touch with my teachers.

✓ Unfortunately no, because after I got into university I moved to another city, which prevented me from keeping in touch with my teachers.

Tense: 'get' should be past 'got'. Preposition and verb choice: 'prevented me from keeping in touch' is correct; 'permitted me from getting touch' is incorrect. Suggest practicing past time sequencing and verbs 'prevent' vs 'permit'.

× And maybe I'm not a person who like to get touch with the previous teachers much but you remind me of.

✓ And maybe I'm not the kind of person who likes to keep in touch with former teachers, but you reminded me of that.

Agreement: 'who likes' not 'like'. Use 'keep in touch' and 'former teachers' for naturalness. 'You remind me of' needs object 'that' or past 'reminded'. Suggest reviewing relative clause agreement and phrasal verbs.

× Connecting with them? Maybe I should send them some messages in this year's Thanksgiving Day or Teaching Festival.

✓ Connecting with them? Maybe I should send them some messages on Thanksgiving this year or on Teachers' Day.

Prepositions and event names: use 'on Thanksgiving' or 'on Thanksgiving Day' and 'Teachers' Day' (or 'the Teaching Festival' if cultural). Also possessive 'Teachers' Day' and plural possessive punctuation. Suggest studying prepositions for days and event names.

× When I was young, I didn't like sharing my thoughts because I was afraid of being wrong.

✓ When I was young, I didn't like sharing my thoughts because I was afraid of being wrong.

Sentence is correct; included to show no change. 'Being' gerund is correct after 'afraid of'. Suggestion: continue using gerunds after prepositions.

× Once, after a teacher couldn't explain a question clearly in class, I went to her and explained my idea.

✓ Once, after a teacher couldn't explain a question clearly in class, I went to her and explained my idea.

Sentence is correct; past tense usage appropriate.

× She repeated my idea to the class and praised me, which really boosted my confidence.

✓ She repeated my idea to the class and praised me, which really boosted my confidence.

Correct past tense; no change needed.

× From that time, I gradually became more willing to share my opinions in class.

✓ From that time, I gradually became more willing to share my opinions in class.

Sentence is fine; past progressive idea correctly expressed.

× No. Perhaps I liked my high school teachers more because the college entrance examination in China is extremely competitive.

✓ No. Perhaps I liked my high school teachers more because the college entrance examination in China is extremely competitive.

Sentence is acceptable; comparative 'more' used correctly.

× My high school teachers and I worked every closely for long hours.

✓ My high school teachers and I worked very closely for long hours.

Adverb choice: 'every closely' is incorrect; use 'very closely'. Suggest practicing common adverbs of degree.

× They guided and pushed us hard, which created a strong, respectful relationship and helped many students get into better universities.

✓ They guided and pushed us hard, which created strong, respectful relationships and helped many students get into better universities.

Singular/plural mismatch: 'a strong, respectful relationship' implies one relationship between many people; 'relationships' better reflects multiple student-teacher bonds. Suggest ensuring noun number matches context.
