What should a good English teacher be like?
Tomorrow, (me and my classmates = ok, but in writing I prefer the more "correct":)
my classmates and I are going to complain about our English teacher. She doesn't
fit (come up to/live up to) meet our expectations. We're paying
for tuition at (or simply, "we´re attending") one of the best private institutes
of in the city so we need a respons
ible person who really wants to teach.
Is usual find teachers that have with them lots of years of teaching Usually teachers have a lot of experience(/bring a lot of experience to the classroom), and
those that do are great. But there are some exceptions and this is the case of our
teacher: she only follows the book,
and doesn´t even know what (page) we're going to learn
next, she doesn't care
about being there talking with us. We're adults but we deserve
to be shown respect, and our children too
(/ "and so does our children" / "as does our children").
I am a teacher at a public university; I prepare and plan every single class I teach. My students are adults and teenagers,
and I care about them and
I´m worried about the way they
pick up tools to improve their skills.
("I'm worried" implies that there is something you don´t like about what you´re describing. For example: "I´m worried about the high alcohol intake of youths today". This would only make sense if there was a tendency amongst the students to study in very inefficient ways - a negative trend you observed and tried to counter).
In Argentina, public universities are an effort that each Argentinian do to afford the problem of public education. - Not quite sure what you mean by "reward" here, the sentence doesn´t make sense the way it´s written. Lots of teachers here don't receive any money for teach
ing at the university, they don't have a salary and work for free, and yet they put all their effort
into giv
ing their best. And I think students and teachers have to be involved and
keep all make the
best effort they can.
You can make an effort, but you can´t "keep" it, as it´s not a possession.
Thousand A lot of times I
haven't been seen favorably have been frowned upon by teachers who wear
s suit
s and
are have been in their jobs
since for decades.
"Haven´t" implies an absence of something. It´s unusual to count the times you "haven´t" had something, as it´s more of a passive state than an action. "Since" needs a specific time - since 1995 / since the beginning of time etc. This all just because I'm not formal in the way I dress or the way I
use cut my hair
cut, screw that; the importance of teaching is to be able to catch the attention of your students,
do always
do something new,
always pay attention
always to the changes in contents that you teach, and work with and for the students.
Therefore /
That´s why I can't
just stand by and do nothing when I see people who doesn't care
about what are they doing there; we all have to be committed.
If you say "I can´t do nothing" it sounds like you might mean "I can´t do anything", because of the way people use double negatives in colloquial english - where a double negative doesn´t necessarily imply a positive.
