Teachers— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, correct tense and pronoun use, and give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repeating the examiner's question. Use linking words for coherence.

Ví dụ: Yes. My favorite teacher was my third-grade teacher, Mrs. Lopez. She explained difficult topics clearly and often told personal stories that made lessons memorable, so I felt more confident in class.

Gợi ý: Give a direct, current-answer topic sentence and then briefly explain why you changed career using clear grammar and linking words. Correct verb forms and reduce redundancy.

Ví dụ: Not now. I wanted to be a teacher as a child, but I chose accounting because it offered more job opportunities then, and now I work in the accounting industry.

Gợi ý: This answer is clear but improve naturalness and specificity: correct phrasing (e.g. ‘fourth grade’), and give a specific example of a story or how she cheered you up. Use a linking phrase to connect ideas.

Ví dụ: Yes. I still remember Miss Norma from fourth grade. She often told stories about her travels to explain geography, and she would sing a short song to calm the class before tests, which made me feel less anxious.

Gợi ý: Be sensitive and grammatically correct. Give a short direct answer, explain briefly and use appropriate vocabulary (e.g. ‘passed away’ not ‘dead should old age’) and a linking word to clarify the reason.

Ví dụ: No, unfortunately I'm not. Many of my primary teachers have passed away or moved away, and because of the years that have passed I haven't kept in contact with them.

Gợi ý: Use present or past tense consistently, start with a direct statement, and give specific examples of skills or values you learned. Use linking words like ‘for example’ or ‘also’ to make it coherent.

Ví dụ: She helped me both academically and personally. For example, she taught me study techniques that improved my grades and shared life lessons about resilience and responsibility that I still use today.

Gợi ý: Give a clear comparative opinion and support it with one specific reason for each level. Avoid vague phrases like ‘very known’ and use precise vocabulary such as ‘skilled’ or ‘supportive’.

Ví dụ: I can't choose one over the other. I appreciated primary teachers for their warmth and encouragement, while high school teachers challenged me academically and helped me prepare for exams.

× Do you have a favorite teacher? Yes, I have a favorite teacher when I was in elementary school and I think I was great for that time.

✓ Yes, I had a favorite teacher when I was in elementary school, and I think she was great at that time.

Original mixes present 'have' with past time 'when I was in elementary school' causing tense and sentence structure problems. Use past tense 'had' and clarify 'she was great at that time'. Combine clauses with a comma and conjunction for proper sentence structure.

× She is very good in teaching and she shares a lot of her experiences before.

✓ She was very good at teaching, and she shared a lot of her past experiences.

Use past tense 'was' to match the time frame. Preposition 'in' is incorrect with 'good'—use 'good at'. 'Before' is vague; use 'past' or 'in the past'. 'Shares' should be past 'shared' to match time.

× Of course, when I was a kid I dreamed to be a teacher but I chose a different part but which is accounting as it is very in demand that time.

✓ Of course, when I was a kid I dreamed of being a teacher, but I chose a different field, accounting, because it was in high demand at the time.

Use the verb pattern 'dream of doing' not 'dreamed to be'. 'Part' is the wrong noun; 'field' is appropriate. 'Which is accounting' is an incorrect clause—use apposition 'accounting'. Use past tense 'was in high demand' to match the past time reference.

× So now I'm working in accounting industry.

✓ So now I'm working in the accounting industry.

Add the definite article 'the' before 'accounting industry'. The noun phrase needs the article here. The present continuous 'I'm working' is correct for current situation.

× Yes, one of my favorite teachers is Miss Norma. She was my teacher when I was grade 4IN elementary.

✓ Yes, one of my favorite teachers was Miss Norma. She was my teacher when I was in grade 4 in elementary school.

First sentence should use past 'was' if referring to a teacher from the past. 'Grade 4IN' is incorrect; use 'in grade 4' and include 'elementary school' after for clarity. Maintain past tense consistently.

× She shared a lot of her experiences and personal stories and she always cheered me up before.

✓ She shared a lot of her experiences and personal stories, and she always cheered me up.

Remove 'before' because 'shared' and 'always cheered me up' already indicate past actions; 'before' is redundant. Keep past tense consistently.

× Actually no, most of them are already dead should old age and a lot of things change so I haven't had any contact with them.

✓ Actually, no. Most of them have already died of old age, and a lot has changed, so I haven't had any contact with them.

Use 'have died' for present perfect to show result affecting present. Correct preposition 'of old age'. 'A lot of things change' should be 'a lot has changed' to agree with present perfect. Break into two sentences for clarity.

× Aside from her teachings and subject matter expertise, I learn about personal experiences, about the real life and the things that I need to learn beyond the subject.

✓ Aside from her teachings and subject-matter expertise, I learned about personal experiences, real life, and the things I needed to learn beyond the subject.

Use past tense 'learned' and 'needed' to match that the teacher influenced the student in the past. 'Subject matter' can be hyphenated as 'subject-matter'. 'The real life' should be 'real life' (no article). Keep parallel structure in the list.

× I wouldn't say yes and I wouldn't say no. There are specific things that I like about my primary teachers and my high school teachers.

✓ I wouldn't say yes or no. There are specific things I like about both my primary and high school teachers.

Use 'or' not 'and' in expressions 'wouldn't say yes or no'. Combine 'both my primary and high school teachers' for conciseness and correct parallel structure.

× So I think to be fair, they are both very known when it comes to teaching.

✓ So to be fair, I think both are very well known when it comes to teaching.

Use 'both are very well known' instead of 'very known'. Place 'to be fair' or 'I think' in a natural order: 'So to be fair, I think...'. 'Very well known' is the correct adjective phrase.
