× She was very patient, patience and nice uh see treat was uh, very good and gifts are suggestion about life and, uh, life and.
✓ She was very patient and nice; her treatment was very good and she gave suggestions about life.
Original sentence uses incorrect nouns and repetitions ('patience' instead of adjective 'patient'; 'see treat' unclear) and poor coordination. Use adjectives 'patient' and 'nice', link ideas with conjunctions and use a clear verb 'gave' for 'gifts are suggestion'. Keep parallel structure.
× So basically, I don't want to be your teacher in the future, but, uh, nobody knows.
✓ So basically, I don't want to be a teacher in the future, but nobody knows.
The error is not strictly third person singular but includes wrong pronoun 'your' addressing examiner; corrected to 'a teacher'. Remove unnecessary commas.
× Even I don't know what I'm going to be in the future.
✓ Even I don't know what I will be in the future.
Mixing 'going to' and context of uncertainty is acceptable, but 'will' is clearer for future uncertainty. Also preserve subject and verb consistency.
× Uh, so that's why if, uh, there is a chance to become a teacher, I will surely become.
✓ So if there is a chance to become a teacher, I will definitely do so.
Original 'surely become' is awkward; use modal phrase 'will definitely do so' to indicate intention and complete the verb phrase.
× I still remember him because he was very funny and kind hearted person.
✓ I still remember him because he was very funny and kind-hearted.
Missing hyphenated adjective and article redundancy: 'kind-hearted' is an adjective; no need for 'person' after it. Also include hyphen for compound adjective.
× So I'm not in touch with my primary school teachers, uh, because now I'm doing something for my future, uh, that's why I run really in touch with them.
✓ I am not in touch with my primary school teachers because I am busy doing things for my future, so I am not really in contact with them.
Original uses incorrect verb 'run really in touch' and wrong preposition/phrasing. Use 'in touch with' or 'in contact with'; 'not really in contact with them' is correct. Also replace 'doing something for my future' with 'busy doing things for my future' for clarity.
× Uh, but in future, uh, I would like to thank them for my, uh, for making my life easy and better.
✓ But in the future, I would like to thank them for making my life easier and better.
Use article 'the' with 'future' and correct comparative adjective 'easier' (not 'easy'). Remove redundant filler words.
× Out by doing some stuff like, uh, helping me, uh, from the unknown questions that I, uh, usually stop on the class.
✓ For example, they helped me with difficult questions that I usually got stuck on in class.
Original is ungrammatical and unclear ('Out by doing some stuff', 'stop on the class'). Rephrase to 'For example, they helped me with difficult questions that I usually got stuck on in class' to fix verb usage, prepositions and sentence structure.
× In some ways, uh, I like my primary school teachers more than my school teachers because, uh, the bond we created when, uh, we are together, primary school teachers, uh, have taught me so many things and, uh, disciplines.
✓ In some ways, I like my primary school teachers more than my high school teachers because the bond we created when we were together taught me many things and instilled discipline.
Tense mismatch and awkward phrasing: 'we are together' should be past 'we were together'; 'primary school teachers have taught me' conflicts with clause—combine and use past tense 'taught me' and proper noun 'high school teachers'. Use 'instilled discipline' for clarity.
× My favorite teacher was a math teacher in grade 7.
✓ My favorite teacher was my math teacher in grade 7.
Using 'a math teacher' is acceptable, but 'my math teacher' is more natural when referring to a specific teacher. Also 'grade 7' is fine; adding 'my' clarifies reference.
