My favorite subject at school has always been English.

18
about the past really helps us to understand the present.
19

It just doesn't hold my attention.

I'm just better suited to creative subjects.

31
Part 2 Describe a teacher who you really did not like.
32
You should say who the teacher was, what kind of person they were,
33
what their lessons were like and explain why you didn't like them.
34
I've been lucky to have a lot of really great teachers, but there was one who I did not like at all.
35
He was my science teacher when I was 14 and he was useless.
36
All of our lessons were really boring and we spent most of the time copying out of a textbook.
37
He wasn't very good at explaining things, so it felt like we were just teaching ourselves most of the time.
38
Also because the lessons were so dull, some of my classmates would misbehave a lot and be very noisy and rude.
39
He wasn't very good at controlling the class, which made it even harder to learn anything.
40
3. Do you think anyone can be a good teacher with practice?
41
I think practice can make teachers better, but I don't think anyone can be a good teacher with enough practice.
42
Personality is really important.
43
Teachers need to be really enthusiastic and passionate about what they teach to make it fun and interesting for students.
44
Not everyone can do this.
45
Also, teachers need to have a lot of patience and understanding.
46
With some teachers, it feels like they don't even like children.
47
What qualities do you think a good teacher should have?
48
I think that a good teacher should be passionate about both their subject
49
and educating young people wanting to help children to learn not
50
just pass exams should be their priority a good teacher is also fair listens to their students
51
and recognizes what learning techniques best suit their students would you like to be a teacher why
52
or why not although I think education is really important I wouldn't want to be a teacher, I just don't think I have it in me.
53
You have to be very confident to stand up in front of a class of children and gain their respect,
54
and I just think I would be too nervous to be able to do it.
55
Do you think the majority of teachers are good at their job?
56
To be honest, I think it's really hard to judge the majority of teachers when I've only experienced a few.
57
From what I've seen though, it's a bit hit and miss.
58
There doesn't seem to be a general standard of teaching ability.
59
Teachers often complain about being overworked.
60
Do you agree?
61
Oh yes, I think that teachers have a massive amount of work to do.
62
There is so much paperwork involved nowadays, and that's before you even get to marking and lesson plans.
63
I think that teaching is a very full-on job, and perhaps a bit too much is expected of teachers.
64
Reducing class sizes or having more teachers responsible for a smaller number of classes might make their workload more reasonable.
65
What can be done to improve the quality of teaching in schools?
66
I think that teachers need regular training to ensure a better and more consistent quality of teaching in schools.
67
Teachers' performance need to be checked more regularly, with lessons being observed and student feedback taken into account,
68
so that underperforming teachers can be given more support.
69
It's not just about what results their pupils get.
70
A good teacher needs to be engaging their students in the subject.
71
Should teachers be allowed to hit students who behave very badly?
72
No, teachers should not be allowed to use violence against students.
73
Discipline should not be physical because it sends the wrong message to students.
74
It implies that violence is acceptable.
75
I think that it is actually a very irresponsible form of punishment and could have dangerous consequences.
76
What do you think can be done to improve discipline in schools?
77
I think that the way to improve discipline in schools is to treat the students more like adults.
78
You have to develop a mutual respect.
79
Rules should be clear and the consequences of breaking rules should be explicit.
80
Idle threats should not be made, but discipline should also be fair.
81
Students need to feel like they are being listened to.
82
What would you do to improve the education system if you were the Minister for Education?
83
I think the main improvement that I would make to the education system would be reducing the number of exams.
84
I would introduce more coursework-based assessment so that the emphasis was on students really learning and understanding a subject,
85
not just memorizing facts to repeat in an exam.
86
I would also introduce more life skills education to teach students about the responsibilities they will face as adults.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
