Produce a good result...
Hi
A lot of teachers use the phrase "produce a good result" in students' reports. Does it sound natural to native ears?
Tom has produced a good result in English. He should keep up the effort for further improvement.
Thanks,
Tom

Hello Tom, No - it does NOT sound normal to the "native ear". "produce a good result " is incorrect. The following sentence is better, but I would not use it because it still sounds stilted and was obviously not constructed by a native English speaker.

Hi,
Where I live in Canada, parents have been complaining for years that they can't understand most of the terms that teachers use on report cards.
I think this is partly because teachers like to use jargon. It is also partly because the Ministry of Ediucation does not allow teach
