Analysis of Statements
-
Statement: A teacher must have the following qualities: knowing his/her subject, making learning enjoyable, and giving motivating exercises to students.
Assessment: This statement is generally accurate. A competent teacher should indeed possess subject knowledge, foster enjoyment in learning, and motivate students through exercises.
Mark: ✓
-
Statement: A teacher must have the following qualities: a good presentation, punctuality, and has the easiest way to explain the assignment to the students.
Assessment: Partially correct; however, grammar and phrasing issues exist. The phrase "has the easiest way" is awkward; better phrasing would be "an easy way." Additionally, "a good presentation" could be better specified as "effective presentation skills."
Mark: ✗
Wrong requirements: 3 (unclear phrasing), 2 (punctuality is good, but not sufficient alone), 1 (vague - "a good presentation" needs clarification).
-
Statement: Technology is changing our lives in two important areas: it gives easy communication worldwide and technology is giving a lot of improvement to health.
Assessment: The statement is acceptable but has redundancy. The phrase "it gives easy communication" should be "facilitates easy communication," and "technology is giving a lot of improvement" could be phrased more accurately as "is contributing significantly to improvements in health."
Mark: ✓
-
Statement: A teacher must have the following qualities. These requirements are: competency, sense of responsibility, and give the best of his knowledge to the students.
