and explain why you admired or liked this teacher so much.

[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]


Model Answer 1:

First of all, I'd like to thank you for the time and opportunity you've given me to talk about one of the teachers whom I liked and admired a lot. In fact, I could think of more than one such great educator whom I still respect and like so much. But, here I can't talk about all of them within this limited time. So, I'll go ahead and talk about Mr Jonathon - one of the tutors from my school.

Now to introduce Mr Jonathon a little, he taught us "physics" when we were in grade eight. He was a great teacher whom most of his students liked. He knew about the subject and lessons he needed to teach very well, and he had been excellent when it came to explaining complex issues in simple terms and with relevant examples. I became interested in studying and understanding physics due to his outstanding teaching method as well as motivational talks. I still love physics and a major share of the credit goes to this teacher. 

As an instructor, he had been successful in creating interest in the mind of his disciples and also motivating them to explore and learn more beyond academic lessons. He even made the least-attentive students listen to his lecture sincerely. Such was his attention towards his students that he dedicated extra time explaining complex issues to weak and interested students. Besides, he was friendly, devoted and punctual. 

I personally admired him (and still admire him) because he was an exemplary teacher as well as a great mentor. He never hankered after cheap popularity and was a great person who knew his responsibilities as a teacher. I also admired him because he always motivated me to do well academically while also inspiring me to nurture good human qualities.



Model Answer 2:
During my time at college, I had the privilege of being taught by an exceptional teacher who left a lasting impression on me. His name is Mr. Thomas, and he was my English literature professor. For this nice topic, I will talk about this teacher.

Mr. Thomas taught us English literature, a subject that I have always been passionate about. His in-depth knowledge and passion for the subject were evident in every lecture he delivered.

One of the qualities that stood out about Mr. Thomas was his ability to create an engaging and interactive learning environment. He had a unique way of making complex literary concepts accessible to students through his lively discussions and thought-provoking activities. His teaching style was not limited to textbooks; he encouraged us to think critically, analyze different perspectives, and express our opinions confidently.

Moreover, Mr. Thomas possessed excellent communication skills and a genuine interest in his students' progress. He was approachable, patient, and always willing to provide guidance and support. His ability to connect with each student on a personal level fostered a positive classroom atmosphere and made learning a truly enriching experience.

I admired Mr. Thomas immensely because he went beyond the role of a teacher. He inspired us to explore the depths of literature, appreciate different writing styles, and embrace creativity. His enthusiasm and dedication ignited a passion for English literature within me that continues to shape my academic and personal pursuits. He instilled in me a love for learning and an eagerness to delve deeper into the world of literature.

I am grateful for the impact he had on my education and the inspiration he provided, shaping my love for English literature and fostering personal growth.
