What makes a good teacher 3 Eng (2)

Dear teacher.

Hello. I’m Lee Yue. Even though I am still a ‘freshman’ in your class, I enjoy your lesson very much - honestly, throughout the year.
In my opinion, a good teacher is characterised with a few characteristics: patient, caring, knowledgeable, passionate about the job,humourous and friendly. It is also important for a teacher to interact with students.

For Teacher’s information, I think you deserve to be a good teacher. You have gained the ‘credential’ to be a good teacher, from my point of view. The English class is really fun when Teacher cracks jokes thatmake us burst out laughing. As a result, it boosts my interest in English.
P.S.
I didn’t find any weakness in you, Teacher because you are already a great English teacher from my point of view.

Thanks, Teacher.

A good teacher should be knowledgeable, caring and humourous. Teachers must prepare well before teaching and prepare neat worksheets for their students.Neat worksheets with some funny jokes and graphics will make students more interested in the studies. A good teacher should be able to control the noise of the class.

My English tuition teacher’s teaching is clear and can be understood easily. She explains well and inspires us. She teaches from the heart and everything she does is just for our sake – to make us outstanding students.She tries her very best to ensure we know what she is teaching and to obtain good results in every test.
I hope she would share more stories and experiences with us. Teacher, hope you won’t mind me saying one thing: please do not ask us not to follow your class the following year. It is quite sad to hear that you cannot teach us in Form 4 next year. I really enjoy your lessons throughout these two years.
I would like to know your more. That’s why I hope you can share with us more stories and experiences as some of them which you have shared with us are really interesting. I would like to learn more vocabulary as my vocab is not really good but I think grammar is also important.

Overall, I think you are quite a passionate teacher.

To me, a good teacher shares his or her experiences with students, and is able to explain well. A good teacher should also understand her students and able to communicate with the students. A good teacher is also able to capture the students’ attention.

I get to learn a lot of things after your stories.You understand our thoughts and always strives for the best.

Be more patient and good-tempered. Let's have more stories and more vocabulary please.

A good teacher should be humourous, patient and knowledgeable. When a student does not understand a question, a good teacher should teach him or her patiently. A good and knowledgeable teacher is able to explain well and make sure his or her students understand the teaching well. A good teacher should have passion in teaching but not greed for money and power.

The outstanding features of my English teacher's teaching are that she can speak fluent English and her students can understand her well. She always inspires me in her own way.

The weakness in my English teacher is probably that she hardly shares her experiences with us.
I would like to suggest that you be more humourous when teaching. I also hope that you can be more patient.
All the best, Teacher. God bless!

A good teacher is always:

• patient
• passionate
• humourous
• caring

My English teacher's teaching if full of new knowledge and it enables me to learn more vocabulary and grammar. But for me, the class is quite boring. I think our worksheets should have more grammar exercises and vocabulary.

A good teacher must be a patient person. An impatient teacher may not be well-liked by students. A good teacher must also have a clear mind and must be a very careful person. Teachers should not teach their students wrong things. A good teacher should not show favourtism and should care for all students. A good teacher needs to have a good sense of humour.

My teacher is:

• well-dressed
• full of experience
• patient
• caring
• serious

My teacher:

• is not a very humourous teacher
• is too serious
