IELTS Speaking Part 1: Teachers – bài mẫu và câu trả lời hay

Do you have a favourite teacher?

Yes, my class teacher at primary school.

I was a really quiet kid, and she had a way with shy children.

You know, she never pushed me to speak up, she'd just smile and wait.

Honestly, I looked up to her so much that I even copied her handwriting.

In what way has your favourite teacher helped you?

Well, she gave me little jobs, like handing out the exercise books every morning.

I mean, it sounds tiny, but I had to call out everyone's name, so I slowly came out of my shell.

That's probably why presenting at university doesn't scare me as much now.

Do you have a teacher from your past that you still remember?

Oh, yes, my maths teacher at high school.

He was really strict, and he kept us on our toes by calling people up to the board without warning.

So nobody ever dared to skip homework.

Funnily enough, I quite liked it, because solving a problem in front of everyone felt like a small win.

Are you still in touch with your primary school teachers?

Only one, really.

Most of the others have moved away, and we lost touch years ago.

Having said that, my old class teacher still lives a few streets from my parents.

She's retired now, so I pop round at Tet with a small gift.

I reckon it means the world to her.

Do you want to be a teacher in the future?

Not full-time, no.

The thing is, I don't have the patience of a saint.

A class of thirty noisy kids would leave me exhausted by lunchtime.

Then again, I wouldn't mind running a workshop for first-years on how to plan their studies.

I guess that's more my style.
