Some students like classes where teachers lecture (do all of the talking) in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer? Give specific reasons and details to support your choice.
...............................

There are a lot of different methods of teaching. However, it is a bit difficult to choose the most effective one. Difficulty is that students learn by different ways. In my opinion, exchanging of ideas is more reasonable than only teacher speaking classes. I can find many reasons to support my preference such as useful feedbacks, getting familiar with students, developing self-confidence.

Teachers should lead the students into asking questions or explaining their ideas about the subject. This helps the teacher understanding students’ capacity. Responses and expressions of students show that if students are confused or they misunderstand about issue. A watchful teacher notices that immediately and decides what should be done. As a sample, teacher wants students to ask a few questions or estimate what the next sentence is about the lecture. This questionnaire and feedback play an important role for education. As a result, if the subject is made clearly in the students’ minds, no doubt, success is achieved.

Apart from the point I made above, reciprocal lessons are helpful means for teachers to be familiar with students. Furthermore, a teacher sometimes uses that means if necessary. For instance, a lesson is given once then the teacher makes an exam in order to check if the students understand the lessons which were given. However, a well-prepared student can be failed in the exam because of a specific problem such as stomachache or toothache. If the student is conversational in the course group and if the teacher believes that the student is already successful, teacher may consider these conditions and gives another chance to the student. Communicate during the lesson led to get familiar. That is why talking is necessary for a qualified education.

Last but not the least, asking questions or giving some examples during the lecture is beneficial to get a better ability of self-confidence. Supporting their ideas or asking subject related questions gives to the student capacity of effective thinking about the speech that is being heard at that moment. For example, while lecturer talking about social revolutions, student can join the conversation by giving a well known event as a sample. Consequently, the student will be able to develop his or her verbal communication in the public with confidence.

For summarize, even though there are a lot of techniques of teaching, I prefer the most interactive one. Because teaching is not only giving information from books but also show the students that how they are important.

Some students like classes where teachers lecture (do all of the talking) in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer? Give specific reasons and details to support your choice.
...............................

There are /a lot of/MANY/ different methods of teaching. However, it is a /bit/LITTLE/ difficult to choose the most effective one.
THE difficulty is that students learn /by/IN/ different ways. In my opinion, THE exchanging of ideas is /more reasonable than only/PREFERABLE TO ONLY A/ teacher speaking IN classes. I can find many reasons to support my preference such as useful feedbacks, getting familiar with students, developing self-confidence.

Teachers should /lead/ENCOURAGE/ the students into asking questions or explaining their ideas about the subject. This helps the teacher IN /understanding/ESTIMATING/ THE students’ capacity.
THE responses and expressions of students show that if students are confused or THAT they HAVE misunderstandINGS about issue.
A watchful teacher notices that immediately and decides what should be done.

As aN sample EXAMPLE; LET US ASSUME THAT A teacher wants students to ask a few questions or /estimate/GUESS/ what the next sentence is about IN the lecture. This questionnaire and feedback playS an important role /for/IN THEIR/ education. As a result, if the subject is /made/PICTURED/ clearly in the students’ minds, no doubt, success WILL BE achieved.

Apart from the point I made above, reciprocal lessons are AN helpful means for teachers to beCOME familiar with students. Furthermore, a teacher sometimes uses that means if AND WHERE necessary.

For instance, a lesson is AT FIRST given(.) Then the teacher makes an exam in order to check if the students /understand/HAVE UNDERSTOOD/ the lessons which were given. However, a well-prepared student can /be failed/FAIL/ in the exam because of a specific problem, such as stomach-ache or toothache.

If the student is NORMALLYconversational WITHin the course group, and if the teacher believes that the student is already successful, THEN THE ,teacher may /consider/RECOGNISE/ these UNFAMILIAR conditions IN THE STUDENT, and gives another chance to the student.
THEIR REGULAR communicatION during PREVIOUS lessonS HAD led to THE TEACHER BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH THIS STUDENTS NORMAL BEHAVIOUR PATTERN.
That is why talking TOGETHER WITH THE PUPILS' is necessary for a qualified education.

Last but not the least, asking questions or giving some examples during the lecture, is beneficial IN GETTING a HIGHER DEGREE of self-confidence.
Supporting their ideas, or asking subject related questions, gives to the student THE capacity of effective thinking about the speech that is being heard at that moment.
For example, while THE lecturer IS talking about social revolutions, studentS can join IN the conversation by giving a well known event as aN EXAMPLE. Consequently, the student will be able to develop his or her verbal communication AND PERSONA in the public with confidence.

/TO summarize/ IN SUMMARIZING, even though there are a lot of techniques of teaching, I prefer the most interactive one, because teaching is not only THE TEACHING OF information IN books, but also showING the students that how important they THEMSELVES are.
......................................................................................................................
I really liked this essay Stat. Your work is good, and the text that you had written was more than acceptable, however, I have done as you requested, and I hope you think your work shows some improvement.

Kitos.

Hello again Kitosdad. Excuse me because I don't know pronuncation of your nick name. Kitos or Kitos ?
Anyway, I am really greatful for your editing. Believe me, it is much more beneficial for me than you think. I can see my chronic misused collocations.
Now, it seems an interactive teaching or learning, isn't it ? :)
