Teachers— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Keep answers concise and correct grammar (subject–verb agreement, singular/plural). Use one clear topic sentence then one or two supporting details with linking words. Avoid redundancy (e.g., multiple mentions of patience/encouragement) and correct word forms (help → helps; feedbacks → feedback).

Exemplo: I do. My favorite teacher is my chemistry teacher because he explains difficult formulas clearly. For example, he breaks problems into simple steps and gives precise feedback on my lab reports, which helped me improve and enjoy the subject more.

Sugestão: Good direct response and relevant reasons. Improve cohesion by using linking words (because, for instance) more smoothly and vary vocabulary (hectic → demanding). Avoid repeating negatives and tighten phrasing. Keep to two to three sentences max.

Exemplo: No, I don't. Teaching seems too demanding for me because of long school days and continual lesson planning; for instance, I don't think I have the stamina for that workload.

Sugestão: Strong answer: clear topic sentence and a specific supporting detail. To improve, add a brief concrete example to make it more vivid (a particular activity or moment) and ensure sentence variety.

Exemplo: Yes. I still remember my primary school teacher—she made lessons fun by using games and group reading, which helped me become much more confident in reading and speaking.

Sugestão: Answer is understandable but contains grammar errors and unclear phrasing. Use a clear topic sentence (No, I'm not) then give specific reason and correct structure for future intention. Replace unclear phrase “I do something that about a few teachers” with a clear statement. Keep to two sentences.

Exemplo: No, I'm not. Most of my family moved to another city after primary school, but I hope to contact a few teachers who inspired me one day to say thank you.

Sugestão: Good structure and specific details. Fix tense/consistency (was → is if still favorite; feel → felt) and avoid starting sentences with 'And'. Use a linking phrase to combine reasons for fluency.

Exemplo: My favorite teacher is my chemistry teacher. She helped me understand difficult formulas by breaking them down step by step and giving clear examples, and she encouraged me when I felt frustrated, which kept me motivated.

Sugestão: Clear comparison and specific supporting detail. Improve by briefly stating why primary teachers had an advantage (e.g., teaching style, close attention) and avoid ambiguity about subject (chemistry typically taught later). Keep concise.

Exemplo: Yes. I prefer my primary school teachers because they used hands-on methods—for example, my chemistry teacher used simple experiments to explain ideas, which made learning enjoyable and easier to understand.

× He's very patient and always help me when I don't understand the formulas, and he gives useful feedbacks on my chemistry paper.

✓ He's very patient and always helps me when I don't understand the formulas, and he gives useful feedback on my chemistry paper.

The verb after a third-person singular subject (he) must take the -s form: 'help' → 'helps'. Also, 'feedback' is an uncountable noun, so it should not take a plural 'feedbacks'; use 'feedback' instead. Suggestion: Remember to add -s for verbs with he/she/it and avoid pluralizing uncountable nouns.

× ...and he gives useful feedbacks on my chemistry paper.

✓ ...and he gives useful feedback on my chemistry paper.

'Feedback' is an uncountable noun and should not take a plural form or a count quantifier. Use 'feedback' without 's' or use a quantifier like 'some useful feedback'. Suggestion: Replace 'feedbacks' with 'feedback' or 'some useful feedback'.

× Because of his clear explanations and encouragement, I have improved a lot and enjoy the subject more.

✓ Because of his clear explanations and encouragement, I have improved a lot and enjoy the subject more.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses present perfect 'have improved' to describe change up to now and present simple 'enjoy' for a current state. Included only to confirm tense correctness.

× No, I don't want to be a teacher in the future because the job seems very hectic and I don't think I have enough stamina for it.

✓ No, I don't want to be a teacher in the future because the job seems very hectic and I don't think I have enough stamina for it.

Sentence is grammatically correct: present simple 'seems' describes general quality; 'don't want' expresses future intention. No change needed.

× For example, I don't want to handle long school days and constant lesson planning.

✓ For example, I don't want to handle long school days and constant lesson planning.

Sentence is correct; verb forms match context. No change needed.

× She was incredibly kind and encouraging, and she always made lessons fun, which helped me gain confidence in reading and speaking.

✓ She was incredibly kind and encouraging, and she always made lessons fun, which helped me gain confidence in reading and speaking.

This is correct use of past tense to describe a teacher from the past. No change needed.

× No, I am not still in touch with them because most of my family moved cities after primary school.

✓ No, I am not still in touch with them because most of my family moved to other cities after primary school.

The verb 'moved' needs a destination or modifier: 'moved cities' is informal and awkward. Use 'moved to other cities' or 'moved away' for clarity. Also 'am not still in touch' is acceptable but more natural as 'I'm not still in touch' or 'I'm not in touch'. Suggestion: Use 'moved to other cities' and consider 'I'm not in touch with them'.

× I do something that about a few teachers who inspired me and I would like to contact them one day to say thank you.

✓ I still keep in touch with a few teachers who inspired me, and I would like to contact them one day to say thank you.

Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear: 'I do something that about a few teachers' is nonsensical. Likely intended meaning is either 'I still think about a few teachers' or 'I keep in touch with a few teachers.' Correction uses a clear structure: subject + verb + object, and joins clauses with 'and'. Suggestion: Replace unclear fragment with 'I still think about a few teachers' or 'I keep in touch with a few teachers' depending on intended meaning.

× She helped me understand difficult formulas by breaking them down step by step and giving clear examples. And she always encouraged me when I feel frustrated, which motivated me to keep trying.

✓ She helped me understand difficult formulas by breaking them down step by step and giving clear examples. She also always encouraged me when I felt frustrated, which motivated me to keep trying.

When describing past events, verbs should be in past tense: 'feel' should be 'felt' to match 'helped' and 'encouraged.' Also avoid starting the second sentence with 'And' in formal speech; use 'She also' or combine sentences. Suggestion: Keep verb tenses consistent in a narrative about the past.

× Yes, I like my primary school teachers more, especially my chemistry teacher.

✓ Yes, I like my primary school teachers more, especially my chemistry teacher.

Sentence is acceptable, but 'my chemistry teacher' previously referred to 'she' and earlier 'he' in the transcript; ensure pronoun consistency. If the chemistry teacher is female, earlier 'He's' should be 'She's'. If male, here 'she' references should be 'he'. Suggestion: Maintain consistent gender references throughout: change 'He's very patient' to 'She's very patient' or change later 'She' to 'He' depending on intended gender.
