Teachers— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise, correct basic grammar (verb agreement), avoid filler words, and add one specific example of what she did to help you express creativity. Aim for 2–3 well-structured sentences with a clear topic sentence and one supporting detail using a linking word.

Exemplo: Yes — my favorite teacher was my high school drama teacher, Leah. She was very patient and encouraged us to express ourselves creatively; for example, she organized weekly improvisation exercises that helped me become more confident on stage.

Sugestão: Improve grammar (articles, plural/singular, verb forms), reduce hesitation, and give a clear concise reason. Use linking words like 'however' or 'because' to connect ideas. Keep to 2–3 sentences: a direct answer then a reason with one specific detail.

Exemplo: Probably not. Although I respect teachers because they shape students' futures, I wouldn't choose that career because it demands constant patience and emotional energy, especially when working with teenagers.

Sugestão: Avoid repetition and hesitations, correct awkward expressions (‘let our hair down’ not ‘head down’), and tighten sentences. State the point then give a specific example of how she helped your confidence using a linking word like 'for example' or 'because'.

Exemplo: Yes — my high school drama teacher, Leah, helped shape my confidence. For example, she encouraged us to perform short scenes every week so we learned to speak up without fear of judgment.

Sugestão: Fix grammar and clear phrasing, remove hesitations, and be specific about reasons and methods. Use linking words ('because', 'however') correctly. Provide 2–3 sentences: direct answer, reason, and a clear plan to reconnect.

Exemplo: Unfortunately, no — I haven't kept in touch because I've moved between cities and countries since finishing primary school. However, if they are still alive, I would contact them via e-mail or social media to thank them.

Sugestão: Use correct tense and plural/singular forms, avoid hesitations, and link ideas smoothly. Say a clear topic sentence then give specific examples of activities and their results, using linking words like 'for example' or 'as a result'.

Exemplo: Leah helped me develop important life skills through engaging classes and games. For example, her group exercises improved my communication and teamwork, and as a result I feel more confident working with others.

Sugestão: Make sentences concise and correct (compare 'one over the other', 'in different ways'), avoid hesitations, and use a linking word like 'because' to connect reasons. Provide one clear comparative sentence and one supporting detail.

Exemplo: I wouldn't prefer one over the other because they helped me in different ways. For instance, my primary teachers were caring and nurturing, whereas my high school teachers encouraged me to express and defend my opinions.

× She, uh, always encourage us to express ourselves creatively.

✓ She, uh, always encourages us to express ourselves creatively.

The subject 'She' is third person singular, so the verb must take the -s form in the simple present. Use 'encourages' instead of 'encourage'. Suggestion: For third person singular subjects (he/she/it), add -s or -es to the base verb in present simple.

× Teacher is a respected.

✓ Being a teacher is respected.

The original lacks a clear noun phrase; 'Teacher is a respected' is ungrammatical. One option is 'Being a teacher is respected' or 'Teaching is a respected profession.' The article 'a' cannot stand alone before 'respected' without a noun. Suggestion: Use a noun after 'a' (for example, 'a respected profession') or rephrase the clause (for example, 'Being a teacher is respected').

× I admire teacher for they uh, shape the future of student.

✓ I admire teachers because they shape the future of students.

Plural forms are needed: 'teacher' should be 'teachers' and 'student' should be 'students' to match the general statement. Also 'for they' is awkward; use 'because they'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for generalizations and connect clauses with 'because' or 'since' for clearer causation.

× But it requires constant patient and emotional energy, which especially with teenagers, it will be frustrating if I put in so much effort.

✓ But it requires constant patience and emotional energy, which, especially with teenagers, would be frustrating if I put in so much effort.

'Patient' (an adjective) is incorrect here; the noun 'patience' is required. The clause is also wordy and has tense/mood issues: use 'would be' for hypothetical frustration. Remove the extra subject 'it' in the relative clause. Suggestion: Use correct noun forms (patience) after 'constant' and use conditional/modal 'would' for hypothetical situations.

× I have been moving uh between cities and countries for the after graduating from it is primary school.

✓ I have been moving between cities and countries after graduating from primary school.

The original contains extra words 'for the' and 'it is' which are unnecessary and ungrammatical. 'After graduating from primary school' is the correct phrase. Suggestion: Keep the clause concise: 'after graduating from primary school' and place 'have been moving' before it if you mean ongoing movement since then.

× However, if stars alive, I would love to reach out and express my gratitude, maybe via e-mail or social media.

✓ However, if they were still alive, I would love to reach out and express my gratitude, maybe via e-mail or social media.

'If stars alive' is meaningless; presumably the student meant 'if they were still alive'. This requires a subjunctive/conditional form 'if they were' to indicate an unreal situation. Suggestion: Use the correct conditional structure 'if they were still alive' for hypothetical situations.

× My favorite teacher, Leah, had helped me through numerous ways.

✓ My favorite teacher, Leah, helped me in numerous ways.

'Had helped' is past perfect, which implies a reference point in the past; simple past 'helped' is more natural here. Also use 'in numerous ways' rather than 'through numerous ways'. Suggestion: Use simple past for a general past action unless you need past perfect to show sequence; use the idiomatic preposition 'in' with 'ways'.

× Umm, through her engaging classes and fun games, I learned life skills like communication, UMM, collaboration, and teamwork.

✓ Through her engaging classes and fun games, I learned life skills like communication, collaboration, and teamwork.

This sentence is mostly correct but contains filler 'UMM' which should be removed in written correction. The list is fine. Suggestion: Remove vocal fillers when writing; keep items parallel.

× Those support. Those guidance still support.

✓ Those supports/guidance still help me.

The original contains sentence fragments and incorrect noun forms. 'Those support' is a fragment; 'support' as a noun should be 'that support' or use a verb: 'Those things still support me' is awkward. Better: 'Those supports' is uncommon; 'That guidance still helps me' or 'Those lessons still help me.' Suggestion: Use complete sentences with subject and verb and choose the correct noun form: 'That guidance still helps me' or 'Those lessons still help me.'

× My primary school's teachers were caring and nurturing, while my high school teacher encouraged uh me to face my opinion.

✓ My primary school teachers were caring and nurturing, while my high school teacher encouraged me to express my opinion.

Remove the possessive 'primary school's teachers' to 'primary school teachers' (both forms can work but the latter is cleaner). The verb 'encouraged' is fine, but the verb phrase should be 'encouraged me to express my opinion' rather than 'to face my opinion', which is incorrect collocation. Suggestion: Use natural collocations: 'express my opinion' and avoid unnecessary pauses.
