× I don't have a favorite teacher because.
✓ I don't have a favorite teacher.
The sentence ends with an unfinished subordinate clause 'because' that has no following clause. Remove 'because' to make a complete declarative sentence. Alternatively, provide the reason after 'because', e.g. 'I don't have a favorite teacher because I am busy.' Use complete clauses to avoid sentence fragments.
× I'm busy my current work so there are no time to remember them.
✓ I'm busy with my current work, so I don't have time to remember them.
Missing preposition 'with' after 'busy' and incorrect use of 'there are no time'. Use 'I don't have time' for correct subject-verb agreement and countable/uncountable time. Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so'.
× No, I definitely don't want to be a teacher because I don't like children and the school.
✓ No, I definitely don't want to be a teacher because I don't like children or school.
Using 'and the school' is unnatural; 'or school' is more idiomatic when expressing dislike of either. Also drop the definite article 'the' before 'school' when speaking generally.
× School is hate place for me.
✓ School is a hateful place for me.
'Hate' is a verb; the adjective form 'hateful' or the noun phrase 'a place I hate' is required. Also include the indefinite article 'a' before 'hateful place.' Alternative: 'School is a place I hate.'
× No, I don't because I'm not interested in them and I I'm so busy that I have no time to remind about my past.
✓ No, I don't because I'm not interested in them and I'm so busy that I have no time to think about my past.
'I I'm' is a typo/repetition; use single 'I'm'. 'Remind about my past' is incorrect — use 'think about my past' or 'be reminded about my past.' Also ensure pronoun reference 'them' is clear (teachers).
× I think it is important how we've got now.
✓ I think it is important how we are now.
'We've got' is informal and ambiguous here. The present tense 'we are now' or 'what we have now' fits better. For clarity, use 'what we have now' if referring to current situation or 'how we are now' for state.
× No, I haven't been still in touch with my primary school teachers because uh have no time to think about my past, so I don't want to contact with them.
✓ No, I am not still in touch with my primary school teachers because I have no time to think about my past, so I don't want to contact them.
'Haven't been still in touch' is awkward; use 'am not still in touch' or 'am no longer in touch.' Missing subject 'I' before 'have no time.' 'Contact with' is incorrect — use 'contact them' or 'get in contact with them.' Also remove filler 'uh' in formal answers.
× He told me how to express my emotion to like Chinese characters.
✓ He taught me how to express my emotions, such as liking Chinese characters.
'Told me how to' is acceptable but 'express my emotion to like Chinese characters' is ungrammatical. Use 'taught me' for instruction, plural 'emotions', and rephrase the example 'such as liking Chinese characters' for clarity.
× So because of his thought, I won a lot of prizes in a contest in.
✓ Because of his guidance, I won many prizes in a contest.
'So because' is redundant; choose 'because' or 'so'. 'His thought' is unnatural — use 'his guidance' or 'his teaching'. 'A lot of prizes' is informal; 'many prizes' is better. Remove the trailing 'in' and place 'in a contest' correctly.
× No, I don't. Uh, I prefer my high school teachers because I can't recall my primary school teachers.
✓ No, I don't. I prefer my high school teachers because I can't recall my primary school teachers.
Remove filler 'Uh' in a formal response. The rest is acceptable; ensure tense 'can't recall' is present and matches context.
× Because it is so far.
✓ Because it is so long ago.
'It is so far' is unclear; to refer to time, use 'long ago'. If referring to distance, specify 'far away.' Use a full sentence or attach to previous sentence to avoid sentence fragment.
