Hi! My name is Anne and I’m an iTalki English language teacher. I have a Master of Arts degree in TESL, and a Bachelor of Arts in English. I also have teaching certification for TESL K-12 and English 9-12. I currently teach for a local school district. Over the last fifteen years I’ve worked with children and adults of all ages as a tutor, coach, and teacher. One of the best ways I serve ESL students is by creating lesson plans that speak to each student's unique language needs. I like to incorporate visual, tactile, movement, and game elements to help students internalize language concepts. I also include activities that challenge students to grow in their reading, writing, listening, and speaking of English. I know that learning a language can be challenging. As a student I studied a bit of Spanish and German. In college I traveled to Zimbabwe and learned conversational Shona. As we work together I look forward to learning about you and helping you reach your personal goals for English. You will find that I am a very patient, creative, and encouraging teacher who wants you to succeed. With italki and teachers like me, I believe that you will have much support on your personal language-learning journey.

    Part I

    TOEFL Question: If you could invent something new, what product would you develop?

    I'm really impressed by inventions and inventors. As a scientist, I often ask myself: How can I add something to the sciences ? Actually, I used to think about the problem of dirt, and how it deeply touches our environment. I feel that it has a bad impact on weather, humans, and the environment. So how can I solve this problem? Part of the solution might be an invention that leads people to clean their environment. It would be a small container to receive garbage, coupled with an electronic device which enables people to enter their fingerprint. This option allows people to recover their cleaners and store their information, so people can eventually be awarded with some bonuses later.

    Draco

     

    Draco, the Athenian legislator, provided only one punishment for his extremely harsh laws--death. This punishment for insignificant violations and grave crimes was perfected in Athens. His name is now connected with everything cruel and ruthless.


    Draco's code of laws was dated 621 B.C. It wasn't the first Athenian code of laws ever written, but it may have been the first comprehensive code.

     

    In later times, Solon canceled Draco's code and issued new laws. He left the death penalty for murderers.

    my TOEFL essay (independent topic) : Why Do Students Prefer to Study at a University?

        Each one of us has one purpose in this life, and our own idea about how to make a living.  Many students prefer to enroll in a university to get knowledge, and to shape their future careers. The main question is why do those students seek to attend universities?

       
        First, most students plan to study their chosen profession in a place where they can specialize in any field, according to their abilities. Universities  provide them with courses and opportunities for practical application.

     

        Second, a university is an open area of education and training, which provides professional experience that prepares students for the professional world.


        On the other hand, many people seek to develop personal skills; such as, communication, creativity, leadership, and teamwork. A university is the model atmosphere for those extra activities which help further enrich student performance.


        The university plays an important role in the promotion of students' capabailities and effeciency. Consequently, universities contribute to a country's evolution and prosperity.

    Mom，I love you！

    As we know,today is a big day for our mothers. It's Mother's Day! So many words hide in my heart that I want to say. Yes, mom, I love you!

    A Letter to Mom:

    Mom, I live far from you, so I can't keep up with you all the time, but you must know that we miss each other all the time.


    I haven't seen you in about one year, but I have seen your pictures in wechat. You have gotten more plump! I'd say this is a good thing for you, because your stomach gives you trouble.  For you, I think extra weight must mean that you are healthy.

    I am very well with my work, so do not worry about me.  I am not your little doggy anymore, so feel happy and be healthy everyday. I think I will have a little time to visit you next month, so just wait for the the suprise. Love you.

    Hi Tomomi! Both questions mean exactly the same thing. They come from the more grammatically cumbersome question, "What would you like to have to drink?" Both of your examples are just a modification of this. I hope this helps!
