IELTS question

Describe a teacher who has influenced you.

Your story (a few notes)

My high-school chemistry teacher, Ms Kim — strict, but she stayed after class to help me, and once turned my failed experiment into a lesson I still remember.

Your generated answer

Band 7.5

The teacher who influenced me most was my chemistry teacher in high school, Ms Kim. On the surface she seemed quite strict, but what really stayed with me was how patient she was once class was over. I remember completely messing up an experiment one afternoon, and instead of just giving me the mark, she sat down and walked me through exactly where it went wrong. That small moment taught me that failing at something isn't the end — it's usually where the real learning starts. I still think about that whenever a project of mine doesn't go to plan.
