Teachers— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and correct verb forms; give one strong supporting detail and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add a specific example of what he did that helped you, using correct tense and linking word (e.g., "for example"). Keep to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes. My favourite teacher was Herman Banwa, who taught pharmacology. For example, he explained difficult concepts with clear diagrams and real-life cases, which helped me understand and remember the material better.

Sugestão: Be more natural and concise; correct phrasing (e.g., "I have social anxiety"), and give a brief reason or alternative career to enrich your answer. Use a linking word like "so" or "therefore."

Exemplo: No, I don't see myself becoming a teacher because I have social anxiety and find it difficult to speak confidently in front of large groups, so I prefer jobs that involve smaller teams or one-on-one interaction.

Sugestão: Correct tense and avoid repetition. Start with a direct topic sentence naming the teacher or context, then give a specific example of what made classes fun, using linking words like "for example" or "because." Keep sentences clear and grammatically correct.

Exemplo: Yes. During my review for the local board exam, one teacher stands out. He made lessons enjoyable by using quizzes and group activities, which kept everyone engaged and helped us remember key points.

Sugestão: Make the answer more fluent and eliminate redundancy. Use a clear topic sentence and a specific example (how you keep in touch). Use linking words like "for example" or "we still" to connect ideas.

Exemplo: Yes, I still keep in touch with some of my primary school teachers. For example, I regularly message my former maths teacher, who was also our advisor, to ask for advice and to share updates about my studies.

Sugestão: Correct grammar (e.g., "taught me"), be specific about methods he used, and use linking words like "by" or "for instance." One clear example of how he changed your thinking will strengthen the response.

Exemplo: He helped me think outside the box by encouraging different approaches to problems. For instance, he gave us case studies and asked us to debate possible solutions, which improved my critical thinking under pressure.

Sugestão: Make sentences grammatically correct and concise. State your opinion clearly, then give one or two specific reasons with a linking word such as "because" or "since." Avoid vague phrases like "who I become."

Exemplo: Yes, I preferred my primary school teachers because they were very caring and supportive. For example, they encouraged my interests and helped me build confidence, which influenced who I am today.

× I do have my favorite teacher.

✓ I have a favorite teacher.

Using 'do' here is unnecessary for a simple present affirmative statement. 'Do' is used for emphasis or negatives/questions. Remove 'do' to form the natural affirmative sentence: 'I have a favorite teacher.'

× It was Herman Banwa.

✓ He was Herman Banwa.

The original sentence 'It was Herman Banwa.' uses 'it' to refer to a person, which is incorrect. Use the pronoun 'he' when referring to a male person in past tense: 'He was Herman Banwa.'

× He was teaching pharmacology.

✓ He taught pharmacology.

The progressive past 'was teaching' implies ongoing action at a specific time; a simple past 'taught' is more natural when stating someone's subject area. Use 'taught' to describe his role: 'He taught pharmacology.'

× I definitely liked him as a teacher because of his wide scope of knowledge and he teaches us how to.

✓ I definitely liked him as a teacher because of his wide knowledge and the way he taught us.

Mixing past 'liked' with present 'teaches' is inconsistent. Also 'wide scope of knowledge' is wordy; 'wide knowledge' or 'broad knowledge' is clearer. 'How to' is incomplete; replace with 'the way he taught us.' Maintain past tense throughout: 'liked' and 'taught.'

× I don't see myself being a teacher in the future because I as a person have a social anxiety in which I cannot simply confidently talk in front of a crowd.

✓ I don't see myself becoming a teacher in the future because I have social anxiety and cannot confidently speak in front of a crowd.

Use 'becoming' rather than 'being' for future career intention. 'I as a person' is unnecessary; remove it. 'Have a social anxiety' should be 'have social anxiety' (no article). 'Cannot simply confidently talk' has word order issues; 'cannot confidently speak' is concise and natural.

× Yes I do, it was during my review season for the local board exam.

✓ Yes, I do. It was during my review season for the local board exam.

Run-on sentence combining present 'I do' and past clause with comma splice. Separate into two sentences and add a comma after 'Yes'. This preserves tense and correct punctuation.

× He was a great teacher because he makes the class fun and engaging.

✓ He was a great teacher because he made the class fun and engaging.

Mixing past 'was' with present 'makes' is inconsistent. Use past tense 'made' to match 'was.'

× It was an also also very interesting subject.

✓ It was also a very interesting subject.

Duplicate 'also' is wrong and word order 'an also also' is incorrect. Use a single 'also' and correct article placement: 'also a very interesting subject.'

× I still do keep in touch with my primary, some of my primary school teachers.

✓ I still keep in touch with some of my primary school teachers.

'Do' is unnecessary in affirmative present; remove it. The comma splits the noun phrase awkwardly; restructure to 'some of my primary school teachers.'

× I had this one teacher who taught us mathematics and he was our advisor and I do still keep in contact with him.

✓ I had one teacher who taught us mathematics and was our advisor, and I still keep in contact with him.

Remove unnecessary 'this' and 'do' in affirmative present 'do still keep.' Combine clauses with comma and maintain concise wording: 'I had one teacher... and I still keep in contact with him.'

× I think my favorite teacher helped me to think outside the box.

✓ I think my favorite teacher helped me think outside the box.

Use either 'helped me to think' or 'helped me think'; both are acceptable but dropping 'to' is more natural in this context. Keep past 'helped' since referring to past influence.

× He thought me to how to think critically amidst the difficult questions that are being thrown at me.

✓ He taught me how to think critically when facing difficult questions.

'Thought' is incorrect; use 'taught.' Remove the extra 'to' and reorder phrase: 'taught me how to think critically.' Use 'when facing' instead of 'amidst the difficult questions that are being thrown at me' for clarity and concision; avoid awkward progressive passive.

× I definitely liked my primary school teachers more than my high school teachers because they were very caring and they had a huge role in my current life right now, who I become.

✓ I definitely liked my primary school teachers more than my high school teachers because they were very caring and played a big role in who I have become.

Use 'played' to match past context. 'Had a huge role in my current life right now' is wordy and awkward; use 'played a big role in who I have become.' Remove redundant 'right now' and correct relative clause to 'who I have become.'
