Teachers— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be clearer, more concise and natural. Start with a direct topic sentence, correct basic grammar (name, subject), avoid hesitations and unclear phrases (e.g., “torture historical facts”, “what's to be white”), and limit to up to 4–5 sentences. Add a specific example of what she did to help you understand history.

Ví dụ: My favourite teacher is Miss Lee Shears, my secondary school Chinese history teacher. She didn’t just recite facts; she explained why events happened and discussed different viewpoints. For example, she used historical debates and primary sources to show how interpretations change, which made the lessons memorable.

Gợi ý: Organise into a clear topic sentence and two concise supporting points using linking words. Fix grammar (e.g., “different kinds”, “emotional issues”, “for you to have”). Use one specific example of a challenge and one example of the reward to make it concrete.

Ví dụ: Yes, I would like to be a teacher in the future. Although the job is challenging because you must manage relationships with parents and support students with emotional issues, it is very rewarding. For instance, helping a shy student gain confidence in class would be extremely satisfying.

Gợi ý: Reduce hesitations and make sentences grammatically correct and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific ways she influenced you, using linking words (e.g., “for example”, “by”). Avoid vague phrases like “exploring my horizon”—use “broadened my horizons”.

Ví dụ: Yes, I still remember Miss Lee, my Chinese history teacher. She broadened my horizons by introducing different perspectives on events and discussing ethical lessons. For example, she used historical case studies to teach critical thinking and how to make wiser decisions.

Gợi ý: Be concise and correct tenses and collocations. Use a clear topic sentence, then a brief explanation with linking words. Replace “barely find her” with “haven’t been in contact”, and correct “I would like to having” to “I would like to have”. Mention a specific plan or time to show concreteness.

Ví dụ: I used to keep in touch with my primary school teacher until about three years ago, but recently I haven’t had time to contact her. However, I hope to reconnect next year and invite her to lunch to tell her about my life and thank her.

Gợi ý: Use correct verb forms and a clear structure: topic sentence + specific examples. Replace awkward phrasing (“teaching me with the knowledge”) with natural expressions (“taught me both academic content and life lessons”). Give a concrete example of a historical figure she used and what lesson you learned.

Ví dụ: My favourite teacher taught me both history and important life lessons. For example, she used the example of Emperor Taizong to show the value of perseverance, and discussing other figures helped me learn patience and consistency in my studies.

Gợi ý: Avoid repetition and use correct subject-verb agreement. Start with a clear topic sentence, then compare with linking words (e.g., “on the one hand… on the other hand…”). Be specific about examples of care and independence to strengthen the comparison.

Ví dụ: I like both my primary and secondary school teachers. On the one hand, primary teachers were caring and provided close guidance; on the other hand, my secondary teachers encouraged independence by giving open-ended projects that fostered self-reliance.

× Yes, I do have my favorite teacher who names call Miss Lee Shears, my secondary school teacher.

✓ Yes, I do have a favorite teacher whose name is Miss Lee Shears, my secondary school teacher.

The student used incorrect pronouns and word order: 'who names call' is ungrammatical. Use the relative pronoun 'whose' to show possession ('whose name is') and correct word order. Suggestion: use 'whose name is' when giving a person's name after 'teacher'.

× She taught me China history.

✓ She taught me Chinese history.

Nationality adjectives must be used before nouns ('Chinese history'), not the country name 'China' as an adjective. Suggestion: use the adjective form (Chinese) when describing a subject related to a country.

× Umm, she, she's not the teacher who only torture historical facts, but she would also talk, teach you what's to be, uh, white and what's to be wrong with some, umm, historical facts.

✓ Umm, she is not a teacher who only recites historical facts; she also explains what is right and what is wrong about some historical events.

Multiple issues: verb choice and form ('torture' is wrong for describing presenting facts), incorrect clause structure, incorrect idiom 'what's to be white' (meant 'what is right') and awkward verbs. Use 'recites' or 'presents', simple present tense for habitual actions, and parallel structure for 'what is right and what is wrong'. Suggestion: use clear verbs and parallel clauses.

× Although being a teacher can sometimes be tough and challenging because you have to handle the relationship with the parents and also with the students.

✓ Although being a teacher can sometimes be tough and challenging because you have to handle relationships with parents and students.

The original had pluralization/word choice issues ('the relationship with the parents' is awkward). Use plural 'relationships' and omit unnecessary articles for general statements ('parents and students'). Also keep consistent noun forms.

× You have to handle the different kind of problems like the emotion issues.

✓ You have to handle different kinds of problems, such as emotional issues.

'Different kind' should be plural 'different kinds' when referring to multiple types. 'The emotion issues' is incorrect; use 'emotional issues'. Suggestion: ensure agreement between 'different' and 'kinds' and use correct adjective form 'emotional'.

× However, I would say that it will be really fun and also fulfilling and satisfying for you to having good relationship with the student.

✓ However, I would say that it will be really fun and also fulfilling and satisfying for you to have good relationships with your students.

After 'to' use the base form 'have', not the -ing form 'having'. Also use plural 'relationships' and 'your students' for generality. Suggestion: after 'to' + verb use infinitive without -ing.

× Yes, I still remember Miss Lee who is uh, my Chinese history teacher.

✓ Yes, I still remember Miss Lee, who was my Chinese history teacher.

If referring to a past teacher, use past tense 'was'. Also add a comma before the nonrestrictive relative clause. Suggestion: match tense to the time frame being discussed.

× She keep exploring my horizon with umm, giving me different vision of our life and also taught me how to be a better person, how to uh, do wise things in my future.

✓ She kept expanding my horizons by giving me different perspectives on life and taught me how to be a better person and how to make wiser decisions in the future.

Verb tense: 'keep' should be past 'kept' to match 'taught'. Use correct collocations: 'expand horizons', 'perspectives on life', 'make wiser decisions'. 'Vision of our life' is incorrect; use 'perspectives on life'. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense and use common collocations.

× I used to keep in touch with my primary school teacher three years ago UH, but lately I have just been way too busy so I don't have time to contact her anymore.

✓ I used to keep in touch with my primary school teacher until three years ago, but lately I have been way too busy, so I don't have time to contact her anymore.

'Used to' implies a past habit; 'three years ago' needs 'until' or rephrasing. Also 'have just been' is unnecessary; 'have been way too busy' is correct. Suggestion: use 'until three years ago' or 'until then' to indicate when the habit stopped and keep present perfect for recent state.

× I barely find her, but if I have time I would like to having lunch or dinner to share my uh, life with her, uh, in the future.

✓ I can barely find her, but if I have time I would like to have lunch or dinner and share my life with her in the future.

Use modal 'can' with 'barely find' to indicate difficulty. After 'would like to' use base verb 'have', not 'having'. Also use 'and share' rather than 'to share' in this context. Suggestion: after 'would like to' use infinitive without -ing and ensure auxiliary verbs are included.

× My favorite teacher, Miss Lee, not only teaching me with the knowledge but also tell me how to be a better person in my life.

✓ My favorite teacher, Miss Lee, not only taught me knowledge but also told me how to be a better person in my life.

Parallel structure and tense: use past tense 'taught' and 'told' and maintain parallel form after 'not only... but also'. Also 'teaching me with the knowledge' is incorrect; say 'taught me knowledge' or better 'taught me'. Suggestion: keep verbs parallel and match past tense.

× She taught me how to be consistent, how to be more patient in my life by giving me some example of some historical people.

✓ She taught me how to be consistent and more patient in life by giving me examples of historical figures.

Use plural 'examples' and 'historical figures' (not 'people') for clarity. Remove redundant 'some'. Combine parallel items with 'and'. Suggestion: use plural nouns when indicating multiple examples and use concise phrasing.

× No, I'll say that I like both of them.

✓ No, I'd say that I like both of them.

'I'll say' (I will) is odd in this context; 'I'd say' (I would) is the appropriate modal expressing opinion. Suggestion: use 'I'd say' for tentative opinions.

× For the primary school teacher, they are caring, they're kind, they're supportive, they give you enough guidance.

✓ The primary school teachers are caring, kind, and supportive; they give you enough guidance.

Mismatch between singular 'teacher' and plural 'they'. Use plural subject 'teachers' to match plural pronouns and verbs. Suggestion: ensure noun-pronoun number agreement.

× But at the same time for my secondary school teacher, they give me freedom.

✓ But at the same time, my secondary school teachers give me freedom.

Same issue: singular 'teacher' with plural 'they'. Use plural 'teachers' or change pronoun to 'he/she' if singular. Suggestion: keep number consistent.

× They usually ask you to be independent, but but they also guiding you using their own way.

✓ They usually ask you to be independent, but they also guide you in their own way.

After 'they' use the base verb 'guide', not 'guiding'. Use the preposition 'in' with 'their own way'. Also remove duplicate 'but'. Suggestion: maintain correct verb forms and prepositions.
