Describe your most favourite math teacher. v. 1
Describe your most favourite math teacher. You should say: who is he/she why you like him/her how he/she teaches and explain how he/she influences students to learn math.   Model Answer 1: I never really understood math that great when growing up as a young student. In fact, I would be very happy just to get an average score in math. But, all that changed when I luckily got a new math teacher at my junior college, and I have no hesitation to say that he was/is my most favourite math teacher to this date. His name was Mr Shad Reza. We simply used to call him “Reza Sir”, and he used to teach College Algebra. I also heard that he didn’t only have an advanced degree in math, but also a degree in “education”. So, it was generally assumed among his students that he knew a thing or two about how to teach difficult math, and I also agreed with those students as soon as I attended his first math class after starting my junior college. In fact, when he came to our math class for the first time, he started his lesson with some very basic math problems which had nothing to do with algebra class whatsoever. Later, he also told us that he was going to make math as easy as counting the numbers. Needless to say, it was also for the first time that I actually became interested in learning match instead of just “passing” the course. The next day, he only joked with us about college algebra to ease our fear. But, as time progressed, he tried so many techniques to teach us math that it was practically impossible for anybody not to learn math. But, what made me like him the most was that he never gave up on his smiley face even when he was frustrated with some of his students. Anyway, I have never really seen any teacher who had such an easy approach to teach a difficult subject. In fact, it was because of his influence that I became confident about my math skills later on. Besides, he seemed to have such unique techniques to teach math that I never really saw any student asking him any questions even when he was begging them to.   Sample Answer 2: As my major was Science both in school and college, I had Math in every year and there are so many math teachers that I met throughout my academic year that I can’t remember all of their names. Among this large number of teacher, I consider Mr. / Mrs. (…say a teacher name…) to be the best math teacher who taught us math. His/her full name was (…say the full name…) and we called him/her with his/her the second name which is(…. say his/her second name…. ). S/he taught us math in our grade 6 and his/ her way of explaining math and solutions were unmatched. S/he had been successful to make an impression that math is a very important subject and is far more interesting than some other subjects. I like him/ her because of his/ her excellent way of teaching, his/her good behaviour and honesty. He/ she always started a story before explaining any math and then s/he co-related this story with the math. S/he taught us the different formula of math with a context and thus we could easily memorise those tough formulas. S/he never forced for homework and had been very patient to explain things over and over again. I’m sure the interest that grew in me on Math had been influenced by him/her. The well-known fact that 'a good teacher delivers lectures and an excellent teacher inspires his students'- is completely applicable for him/her and she/he, in my opinion, is an excellent teacher.   Similar Cue Card topics: Your ability to talk about this Cue Card Topic would enable you to talk about the following Cue Card Topics as well: 1.

Describe
your most
favourite
math
teacher
. You should say:
who
is he/she why you like him/her how he/she
teaches
and
explain
how he/she influences
students
to learn
math
.
 
Model Answer 1:

I never
really
understood
math
that great when growing up as a young
student
. In
fact
, I would be
very
happy
just
to
get
an average score in
math
.
But
, all that
changed
when I luckily
got
a new
math
teacher
at my junior college, and I have no hesitation to say that he was/is my most
favourite
math
teacher
to this date.

His
name
was Mr Shad Reza. We
simply
used
to call him “Reza Sir”, and he
used
to
teach
College Algebra. I
also
heard that he didn’t
only
have an advanced degree in
math
,
but
also
a degree in “education”.
So
, it was
generally
assumed among his
students
that he knew a thing or two about how to
teach
difficult
math
, and I
also
agreed
with those
students
as
soon
as I attended his
first
math
class
after starting my junior college.

In
fact
, when he came to our
math
class
for the
first
time, he
started
his lesson with
some
very
basic
math
problems which had nothing to do with algebra
class
whatsoever. Later, he
also
told
us that he was going to
make
math
as easy as counting the numbers.
Needless to say
, it was
also
for the
first
time that I
actually
became interested in learning match
instead
of
just
“passing” the course. The
next
day, he
only
joked with us about college algebra to
ease
our fear.
But
,
as time progressed
, he tried
so
many
techniques to
teach
us
math
that it was
practically
impossible for anybody not to learn
math
.
But
, what made me like him the most was that he never gave up on his smiley face even when he
was frustrated
with
some
of his students.

Anyway
, I have never
really
seen
any
teacher
who
had such an easy approach to
teach
a difficult subject. In
fact
, it was
because
of his influence that I became confident about my
math
skills
later on.
Besides
, he seemed to have such unique techniques to
teach
math
that I never
really
saw
any
student
asking him any questions even when he was begging them to.
 
Sample Answer 2:

As my major was Science both in school and college, I had
Math
in every year and there are
so
many
math
teachers
that I met throughout my academic year that I can’t remember all of their
names
. Among this large number of
teacher
, I consider Mr. / Mrs. (…say a
teacher
name…)
to be the best
math
teacher
who
taught us
math
.
His/her
full
name
was (…say the full
name…)
and we called him/her with
his/her
the second
name
which is(….
say
his/her
second
name…
.
)
.

S/he taught us
math
in our grade 6 and his/ her way of explaining
math
and solutions
were unmatched
.
S/he
had been successful to
make
an impression that
math
is a
very
important
subject and is far more interesting than
some
other subjects.

I like him/ her
because
of his/ her excellent way of teaching,
his/her
good
behaviour
and honesty. He/ she always
started
a story
before
explaining any
math
and then
s/he
co-related this story with the
math
.
S/he
taught us the
different
formula of
math
with a context and
thus
we could
easily
memorise
those tough formulas.
S/he
never forced for homework and had been
very
patient to
explain
things over and over again. I’m sure the interest that grew in me on
Math
had
been influenced
by him/her.

The
well
-known
fact
that 'a
good
teacher
delivers lectures and an excellent
teacher
inspires his students'- is completely applicable for him/
her and
she/he, in my opinion, is an excellent
teacher
.
