My corrections are in CAPITAL LETTERS:
In my opinion, a good teacher must be interesting, dynamic, and must have A vocation to teach the students in order to HELP THEM ACHIEVE success in their profession.
First of all, a good teacher must be interesting and dynamic because these two characteristics are very important to get the FULL attention of the students. For example, if a teacher MAKES A BORING LESSON, some students can have problems LEARNING and MAY Nlose concentration.
Secondly, A TEACHER must haVE A LOT OF knowledge of what teaching IS, I think that this is an important point because On many occasions, I had professors without the minimum knowledge about WHAY THEY wantED to teach.
Thirdly, A TEACHER must have A vocation to teach. Sadly, most teachers don't have this characteristic. For a student, it is important that the teacher encourages the students TO ENABLE THEM to explore more.
In conclusion, if a teacher has those three characteristics IT IS QUITE LIKELY that all the students will WANT to learn. Alan _________________ English as a Second Language You can read my ESL story Relative Pronoun |

Hi! i am a new member:) In addition this is my essay;
It's difficult to say what are the characteristics of a good teacher because there are many things. If i need to choose, the characteristics of a good teacher are understandable, educational, intelligent and concerned. First of all if a teacher is an understandable person than she never gets angry. Moreover when a student ask something to her, she will answer quickly and clear. In fact she should have an educational experience. For example, my teacher have been teaching for 8 years. It means she can teach me more important points.
In addition, a good teacher should be concerned. Indeed if a student needs some help, his teacher will concern him. She should also be an intelligent teacher. For instance, when somebody can't understand something, if the teacher is an intelligent person than she can find a different way to teach. In fact she can teach that subject more easily. In summary, The best teacher should be understable, intelligent and concerned. Furhermore She should have educational experience. |

It's difficult to say what the characteristics of a good teacher (are) because there are many things (to be taken into consideration). If (I) need to choose, the characteristics of a good teacher are (that he/she should be)understandable, educational, intelligent and concerned. First of all if a teacher is an understand(ing) person then she never gets angry. Moreover when a student ask(s) something (of) her, she will answer quickly and clear(ly). In fact she should have an educational experience. For example, my teacher (has) been teaching for 8 years. (That) means she can teach me more important points.
In addition, a good teacher should be concerned. Indeed if a student needs some help, his teacher will (be concerned about) him. She should also be an intelligent teacher. For instance, when somebody can't understand something, if the teacher is an intelligent person than she can find a different (approach to the subject she is trying to teach). In fact she can teach that subject more easily. In summary, (t)he best teacher should be understandable, intelligent and concerned. Furthermore She should have educational experience.
Not bad Sel, not bad.
When you say understandable, do you mean that you understand what she is saying, or do you mean understanding, because these are two completely different characteristics.

And if she is understanding, she knows the problems that you are having and she makes allowances for your confusion.
Another admirable trait in any teacher.

Hello Sel. I could see your hight level of motivation. That is good if you want to achieve your goals and important to progress in the process of learning. Everybody makes mistakes and this is also important because their make us perfect lol one of the rules of grammar tells us that we have to write "i" in CAPSLOCK "I". Keep going Sel, you are in right way. _________________ I am the product of my education and experience. |

Hi Sel welcome to this forum. I like your beautiful and historical country which has a lot of spectacular scenery. not only will you need English for studying abroad but you also need it to communicate with foreigners,especially because you host a lot of tourists every year. your essay is just consist of 166 words, and you might no that you have to write at least 300 words in your essays to get a acceptable score. and you had made some mistakes and typos kitos mentioned them. you should passed a comment bellow this essay not to write a new one, albeit It seems to be comment rather than essay because of being short. thank you. _________________ The limits of my language are the limits of my universe.
