🧑🎓 Student Mentor
Abstract
This section covers how to craft prompts to use Chat LLM as a student mentor.
Chat LLMs are usually pretrained over a huge corpus having text from various knowledge sources like books, wikipedia, websites etc. With all the knowledge gained during its pretraining, Chat LLMs can serve as good student mentors in learning new concepts, preparing for exams, learning a language etc.
For example, when preparing for exams, the student can ask Chat LLM to generate practice questions on a specific topic so that the student can solve those questions, and get good practice which eventually helps the student to perform well in the exam.
✅ Test Preparation
As part of test preparation, the student can ask Chat LLM to generate practice questions, ask for a good preparation strategy etc.
🍿 Generate Preparation Strategy

✅ Language Learning
Nowadays, proficiency in the English language is highly useful as English is one of the most spoken languages in the world. A chatbot with all its language skills, can help in learning the language. Let us see how to craft prompts to make use of chatbots in learning the English language.
🍿 Generate Conversations
You can ask the chatbot to generate dialogues between a shopkeeper and a student who wants to buy a 200-page unruled notebook. For this, you have to craft a prompt like this
Prompt
You are an expert spoken English trainer. I want to improve my spoken English skills. Generate conversational
dialogues between a shopkeeper and a student who wants to buy a 200-page unruled notebook.
Output
Sure, I'd be happy to help you with some conversational dialogues between a shopkeeper and a student looking
to buy a 200-page unruled notebook.
Dialogue :
Student: Hello, I'm looking for a 200-page unruled notebook.
Shopkeeper: Good day! Certainly, we have a variety of notebooks. What size are you looking for, and do you
have any specific preferences?
Student: I'd prefer a standard A4 size, and as for the cover, a simple design is fine.
Shopkeeper: Great! We have a few options. Here's one with a plain cover and 200 pages. Is this suitable
for you?
Student: Yes, that looks perfect. How much does it cost?
Shopkeeper: It's priced at $5.99. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Student: No, just the notebook, please.
Shopkeeper: Alright, that will be $5.99. Cash or card?
These dialogues should give you an idea of how to interact with a shopkeeper when purchasing a 200-page
unruled notebook. Practice speaking and listening to similar conversations to improve your spoken English skills
further.
🍿 Generate Examples

🍿 Generate Solutions
You can ask the chatbot to solve verbal or logical reasoning questions so that you can cross-check your answer.
Prompt
You are an expert trainer in teaching logical and verbal reasoning. Solve the given logical reasoning
question in a step-by-step approach.
Logical reasoning question: In a code, "REASON" is written as "SENOAR." Using the same code, how would you
write "LOGICAL"?
Constraints: Make sure to provide a detailed explanation while solving the question.
Answer:
Output
To solve this logical reasoning question, let's analyze the given code for the word "REASON" and then apply
the same code to the word "LOGICAL."
Given code: "REASON" is written as "SENOAR."
Now, let's break down the transformation step by step:
1. The letters in "REASON" are R, E, A, S, O, and N.
2. In the code, the letters seem to be rearranged.
3. "R" is moved to the end, so it becomes the last letter.
4. The remaining letters are arranged in reverse order.
5. "E" becomes the first letter, followed by "A," "S," "O," and "N."
Now, let's apply the same code to the word "LOGICAL":
1. The letters in "LOGICAL" are L, O, G, I, C, A, and L.
2. Following the same pattern as in the given code:
- "L" is moved to the end.
- The remaining letters are arranged in reverse order.
3. So, applying the code to "LOGICAL":
- "L" moves to the end.
- The remaining letters "O, G, I, C, A" are rearranged in reverse order.
4. The transformed code for "LOGICAL" is "ICALOGL."
So, using the same code, "LOGICAL" is written as "ICALOGL”
