× So I like him.
✓ So I like her.
The student refers to a female teacher earlier ('she'), so the pronoun should be 'her' to match gender and object position. Use the object pronoun 'her' after 'like'.
× she had experience in studying in America and she had worked at Chicago for eight years.
✓ She had experience studying in America and she worked in Chicago for eight years.
The past perfect ('had') is unnecessary when just describing past background information; simple past ('studied/worked') is more appropriate. Also 'worked in Chicago' is the correct preposition for a city.
× she had worked at Chicago for eight years.
✓ She worked in Chicago for eight years.
Use 'in' for cities ('in Chicago') not 'at'. Also simple past is better here to state a past fact.
× she also brings, brings some, uh, new ideas to me.
✓ She also brought some new ideas to me.
The speaker describes past actions of the teacher, so verbs should be in past tense ('brought'). Also avoid repetition. Subject-verb agreement requires the verb form to match tense and subject.
× I want to be the teacher in the future, especially in the higher education, higher education, as as I become the teacher in the higher education system, I have more time for myself and prepare, uh, lots of interesting lessons to my students.
✓ I want to be a teacher in the future, especially in higher education, because as a teacher in higher education I will have more time for myself and can prepare many interesting lessons for my students.
Use the indefinite article 'a' before general professions. Reduce repetition ('higher education'). Future intention is better expressed with 'will' or 'can'. Use 'for my students' instead of 'to my students'.
× I want to be the teacher in the future
✓ I want to be a teacher in the future
When speaking about a profession in general, use the indefinite article 'a', not 'the'. 'The' implies a specific known teacher.
× I still remember that the she always scold me and said that I'm not good at studying and I not sensitive to the knowledge of the of the cross and although I study, I work hard.
✓ I still remember that she always scolded me and said that I wasn't good at studying and not receptive to cross-disciplinary knowledge, although I studied and worked hard.
Remove extra article 'the' before 'she'. Match past tense throughout ('scolded', 'wasn't', 'studied', 'worked'). Use 'receptive to' rather than 'sensitive to' for learning. Clean up repetition and word order.
× I not sensitive to the knowledge of the of the cross
✓ I wasn't receptive to cross-disciplinary knowledge
Use appropriate adjective 'receptive' and correct negation 'wasn't'. 'Cross-disciplinary' is a clearer modifier; remove extraneous articles.
× She couldn't please.
✓ She couldn't be pleased.
To express that the teacher could not be satisfied, use passive form 'be pleased'. The original lacks the correct passive auxiliary and past participle.
× No, I don't keep in touch my keep touch with my primary school teacher
✓ No, I don't keep in touch with my primary school teachers
The correct expression is 'keep in touch with' followed by the object. Use plural 'teachers' if referring to more than one. Remove duplicated fragment.
× the first reason that I don't have the contest right now and and maybe they leave live to live left my primary school maybe for several years and I couldn't I can't find where to find them.
✓ The main reason is that I don't have contact with them now; they may have left my primary school several years ago and I can't find them.
Use 'contact' (noun) not 'contest'. Keep tense consistent: 'left' for past action and 'can't' for present inability. Remove repetitions and unclear phrasing.
× Uh, what ways? Well, it is hard to say for me because the my favorite teacher helped me in several ways is for example, she helped me to construct my recommendation letter to my further studies in overseas and she she provides some suggestions for my future studies in linguistics.
✓ It's hard to say; my favorite teacher helped me in several ways. For example, she helped me write my recommendation letter for further studies overseas and provided suggestions for my future studies in linguistics.
Fix sentence fragments and word order. Use 'helped me write' (common collocation) and 'for further studies overseas' (preposition and word order). Keep tense consistent: past simple for past actions.
× construct my recommendation letter to my further studies in overseas
✓ write my recommendation letter for further studies overseas
Use 'for' to indicate purpose ('for further studies') and do not use 'in' before 'overseas'; 'overseas' follows the noun. 'Write' or 'prepare' is a more natural verb than 'construct' here.
× No, I don't really think that I like primary school primary school teacher more than high school teacher.
✓ No, I don't really think that I like primary school teachers more than high school teachers.
Fix redundancy and plural agreement. Use plural forms when making general comparisons between groups of teachers.
× As a primary school teacher change over time maybe once a year so I saw many diff many primary schools teacher as in a high school.
✓ Primary school teachers change more often, maybe once a year, so I saw many different primary school teachers compared with high school.
Clarify conjunctions and sequence: rephrase to show cause and contrast. Use comparative structure 'compared with' and correct adjective 'different'.
× Maybe the teacher can change most so maybe I tend to prefer.
✓ Teachers change more frequently, so I tend to prefer high school teachers.
Clarify the comparison and complete the sentence with the object of preference. Use 'more frequently' for comparison and state which group is preferred.
