Teachers— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and correct minor grammar mistakes. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one brief reason if needed. Avoid repetition like "I'm and I'm".

Ví dụ: No — I don't have a favorite teacher because I'm no longer in school. At the moment I'm working full-time, so I don't study under any teacher.

Gợi ý: Good direct answer and reasons. Improve fluency by using linking words and shortening phrases. Replace repeated 'I do not' with contractions or varied structures and give one specific example to support your reason.

Ví dụ: No, I wouldn't. I don't enjoy working with children and I also feel I'm not strong at explaining complex ideas — for instance, I struggle to break down math problems clearly for others.

Gợi ý: Strong answer with clear reasons and personal detail. Improve word choice (use 'impressive' or 'memorable' instead of 'impressionable') and shorten slightly to avoid redundancy.

Ví dụ: Yes — a memorable math teacher from middle school. I struggled with math as a child, but he made lessons approachable and fun, using real-world examples that helped me understand concepts.

Gợi ý: Clear and natural. Make the topic sentence direct and use a linking phrase to add detail. Avoid vague phrase 'not necessarily' and prefer 'not really' or 'not much'.

Ví dụ: Not really. I'm connected with some primary school teachers on Facebook, but I don't communicate with them regularly — we mostly just keep in touch through social media.

Gợi ý: Very good with specific detail and example. Improve fluency by combining sentences and using linking words like 'for example' or 'by'. Also replace 'persistently' with a more natural phrase like 'patiently' or 'consistently'.

Ví dụ: My favorite teacher was Mr. Carr. For example, he always made time after class to go over problems with me and patiently explained concepts until I understood them.

Gợi ý: Good comparative answer. Make it more concise and correct phrasing ('I lean more towards my high school teachers'). Add a specific reason or brief example to support your preference.

Ví dụ: It's hard to choose, but I tend to prefer my high school teachers. By then I was more mature and could discuss ideas with them more deeply, so I had better personal interactions.

× No, since I'm already working I'm and I'm not in school.

✓ No, since I'm already working and I'm not in school.

The original sentence has an extra 'I'm' creating an incorrect sequence ('I'm and I'm'). This is a present tense sentence describing current status; remove the extra 'I'm' so the conjunction 'and' correctly links the two clauses. Suggestion: say 'I'm already working and I'm not in school.' or shorten to 'I'm already working and not in school.'

× I don't have a teacher at the moment.

✓ I don't have a teacher at the moment.

This sentence is grammatically correct and fits the present simple tense to express current state. No change needed.

× No, I do not because I do not like kids and also I feel that I'm not very good at explaining concepts or information so I don't think that I would be fit to be a good teacher.

✓ No, I do not because I do not like kids and I feel that I'm not very good at explaining concepts or information, so I don't think I would be fit to be a good teacher.

Remove the unnecessary 'also' for conciseness and add a comma before 'so' to join clauses. The modal construction 'would be fit' is acceptable but slightly awkward; 'fit to be a good teacher' is fine. Maintain present/predicate modal usage. Suggestion: 'so I don't think I would be a good teacher.'

× Yes, I had a really impressionable math teacher in middle school.

✓ Yes, I had a really impressive math teacher in middle school.

'impressionable' describes someone who is easily influenced, not a teacher who left a strong impression. The intended adjective is 'impressive' (causing admiration) or 'memorable'. Replace 'impressionable' with 'impressive' or 'memorable.'

× I always struggled with math throughout my childhood, but he was the first teacher that made math seem approachable and fun, so that's why he had a good impression on me.

✓ I always struggled with math throughout my childhood, but he was the first teacher who made math seem approachable and fun, so he left a good impression on me.

Use 'who' for people rather than 'that.' Also 'had a good impression on me' is incorrect; the teacher 'left a good impression on me.' Maintain past tense consistency. Suggestion: replace 'that' with 'who' and 'had' with 'left.'

× Not necessarily. I am friends with them on Facebook so we're connected on social media, but it's not that I contact them or talk to them on a daily basis.

✓ Not necessarily. I am friends with them on Facebook so we're connected on social media, but I don't contact them or talk to them on a daily basis.

'It's not that I contact them' is awkward; use simple present negative 'I don't contact them' to state habitual action. This matches the present tense context describing regular behaviour.

× My favorite teacher is the math teacher that I mentioned earlier.

✓ My favorite teacher is the math teacher whom I mentioned earlier.

While 'that' is acceptable in informal speech, for referring to a specific person 'whom' or 'who' is more appropriate. 'Whom' is grammatically correct after 'mentioned.' Alternatively use 'who I mentioned earlier.'

× His name is Mr. Carr and I remember him just always making time for me after class to ensure that I understood everything and teaching me persistently.

✓ His name is Mr. Carr and I remember him always making time for me after class to ensure that I understood everything and teaching me persistently.

Placement of 'just' is awkward; remove 'just' or place it properly. 'Remember him always making time' is acceptable. The phrase 'teaching me persistently' is grammatically correct but could be more natural as 'persistently teaching me' or 'being persistent in teaching me.' Suggestion: '...I remember him always making time for me after class to ensure I understood everything and persistently teaching me.'

× That is hard to say, but I lean towards more to my high school teachers, maybe because my mind was more developed at that stage so I got to interact more on a personal level with my high school teachers.

✓ That is hard to say, but I lean more toward my high school teachers, maybe because my mind was more developed at that stage so I got to interact more on a personal level with them.

'Lean towards more to' is ungrammatical; use 'lean more toward' or 'lean toward.' Also avoid repeating 'my high school teachers' at the end; use 'them.' Ensure comparative 'more' modifies 'lean' correctly. Maintain past tense 'was' for development stage.
