× I'm well, I have my favorite teacher, which is my history teacher.
✓ I'm fine; my favorite teacher is my history teacher.
Use 'fine' for feeling and 'which' is incorrect for people; use a clause 'my favorite teacher is my history teacher' or 'who is my history teacher'. Also avoid repeating 'I have my favorite teacher' unnecessarily.
× He is very kind and he is smart.
✓ He is very kind and smart.
Combine adjectives for conciseness; pronoun use is fine but repetitive 'he is' can be reduced.
× He answered all my questions about the subject and he influenced me a lot in history.
✓ He answered all my questions about the subject and influenced me a lot in history.
Remove redundant subject pronoun 'he' in the second clause for parallel structure. The verbs 'answered' and 'influenced' are past tense and correct; keep them parallel.
× Then after that, umm, I go into a Catholic.
✓ After that, I became Catholic.
'Go into a Catholic' is ungrammatical. Use 'became Catholic' to express conversion. Keep past tense to match previous sentences.
× Definitely cause, uh, actually the teacher is a demanding job.
✓ Definitely, because teaching is a demanding job.
'Cause' is informal and 'the teacher is a demanding job' mixes person and job; use 'teaching is a demanding job' and 'because' to introduce reason.
× It requires a lot of things, but I think that I hope that because uh, the first I wanted to be teacher that is, had a summer vacation, summer holiday, which I can spend time with my family.
✓ It requires a lot, but I hope to be a teacher because, first, it has a long summer holiday when I can spend time with my family.
Correct verb forms and article use: 'I hope to be a teacher' not 'I hope that I wanted to be teacher'; use 'has a long summer holiday' rather than 'had'. Clarify sequence and use commas.
× And also the next is that I wanted to, uh, inspire a lot of students to.
✓ Also, I want to inspire many students.
Incomplete sentence 'to.' Remove unnecessary 'to' and use present 'want' to match future intention; 'many' is more natural than 'a lot of' before plural noun.
× Well, of course, umm, it's my literature teacher actually, she's very strict that, umm, she had made an influence on me and she have a good impression on me.
✓ Well, of course; it's my literature teacher. She's very strict, and she had an influence on me and left a good impression.
Use 'had an influence' (or 'influenced me') and 'left a good impression' rather than 'she have a good impression.' Correct subject-verb agreement 'she had' not 'she have.'
× Like, uh, she scolded me a lot because, uh, at that time I was so naughty in a literature lesson.
✓ She scolded me a lot because I was very naughty in literature class at that time.
Simplify phrasing: 'literature lesson' -> 'literature class'; remove filler words and order words naturally.
× So I like, I don't like the literature, but after that I love him.
✓ At first I didn't like literature, but later I loved it.
Use correct pronoun for subject 'literature' is 'it', not 'him'. Adjust tense: 'didn't like' then 'later loved it.'
× Well I think some only because they're all busy so I I just get in touch but I don't have some messages with them.
✓ I stay in touch with only some of them because they are all busy, so I just contact them occasionally and don't message frequently.
Original is fragmented and ungrammatical. Clarify meaning: 'only some' and explain limited contact; use 'occasionally' or 'don't message frequently.'
× But in Xiao like before that I learned.
✓ But at my elementary school where I studied before.
Unclear fragment; rephrase to indicate 'Xiao' likely a school name: 'at Xiao, where I studied before' or give full noun. Ensure complete clause.
× So I have their Xello and some other flicks.
✓ So I have their contact on Xello and some other apps.
'Xello' and 'flicks' are unclear; assume 'Xello' is a platform and 'flicks' should be 'apps' or 'social media.' Use 'their contact on' to indicate having their contact details.
× Actually, he helps me a lot, but I just talk about some, some advantages.
✓ Actually, he helped me a lot, but I'll talk about only a few advantages.
Maintain past tense 'helped' to match earlier past descriptions; 'I'll talk about' is clearer than 'I just talk about some.'
× So the first one that she ** *** improves my cognitive thinking and like he, he strikes also he helped me to understand some lessons and also he pushed my critical thinking because.
✓ First, he improved my critical thinking and helped me understand lessons; he also encouraged my cognitive development.
Sentence is mixed genders and incoherent. Use consistent pronoun 'he' (teacher male earlier). Use past tense 'improved', 'helped', and concise structure. Remove trailing 'because' and finish the thought.
× Well, it's hard to say like I'll I'll I'll say it's a 5050 like to the the two of these are really great and I also and I really Tri pay tribute to them, but to choose at least I think secondary school teacher.
✓ Well, it's hard to say. I'd say it's fifty-fifty; both are really great and I admire them, but if I have to choose, I prefer my secondary school teacher.
Use idiomatic expressions: 'fifty-fifty', 'I'd say' for conditional. Fix repetition and 'Tri pay tribute' -> 'admire'. Use 'prefer' to express choice.
× I don't like primary school more because secondary school is more strict and also give me more lessons and I also.
✓ I don't prefer primary school teachers because secondary school was stricter and gave me more lessons.
Match tense and subject-verb agreement: 'secondary school was stricter and gave me' rather than 'give me.' Remove trailing fragment.
