Essay & Composition Writing
Grammatical errors
Hello teachers!
I've wrote an essay as a homework and here's the last paragraph of it.
Please correct grammar mistakes.
If there are better structured sentences, please recommend it!
When I visited Jowon middle-school as a Korean Interpretation Volunteer of Suwon Youth Center, there was a student who have lived in USA for 5 years. Needless to say, her pronunciation was much better than either mine and her English teacher's. I imagined what if the rest of students in the class look down on their English teacher because of the teacher's less fluent speaking? What can teachers do when their students complain about teacher's non native pronunciation? I really cannot think of proper answers. Whatever I say, it is just an excuse because I stand in front of them as an English teacher. I need to strive for more to be a qualified teacher who can advise my student like this. "Though I'm less fluent than native teachers, I'm able to express what I want to say exactly. Conveying exact meaning should be the first thing you consider in learning a language."

Hi Ellisa, I'm not sure I agree with your use of the word "fluent" here, which seems to imply only the accent/pronuciation. There are native speakers who don't speak fluently, even though their pronunication is fine, because they are not good at expressing themselves or are nervous. The name of the school would probably be capitalized in English: Jowon Middle School.

- The style I follow spells out numbers under 10.
- I completely agree with you about conveying meaning being the most important thing!
