In 2, "They should also be quick-witted and risk-takers (prepared to take risks)" should have two adjectives after "be" -- "quick-witted" is a compound adjective, but "risk-takers" is a noun. How will you rephrase so both are adjectives or both are nouns?
In 4, it's "to" not "too" -- and this is not parallel: "...precise, good with people and have an eye for detail" -- you have two adjectives ("precise" and "good") plus a verb phrase. How will you rephrase so all are adjectives or all are verb phrases?
In 5, this needs the same kind of work: "She seems to have a strong personality, at ease with her students and perfectly able to motivate them" -- do you see the elements that don't match? How will you rephrase so they are all the same structure/part of speech?
The last series here -- "...calm ... passionate ... " is fine -- all adjectives!
You could use "enthusiastic" in place of "passionate."
Thank you very much. I would like you to help me rephrase question 1, and check 2 and 3.
