Rules— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Câu trả lời của bạn khá đầy đủ nhưng có một số lỗi ngữ pháp và cách dùng từ chưa chính xác, ví dụ như 'arrived on time' nên là 'arrive on time'. Bạn nên chú ý sử dụng thì hiện tại đơn cho các quy tắc chung và tránh lỗi nhỏ để câu trả lời tự nhiên hơn.

Example: Yes, of course. Like most schools, mine has a set of rules to maintain order and discipline. For example, students have to wear uniforms, arrive on time, and show respect to teachers and classmates. Mobile phones are not allowed during lessons, and there are also rules about homework and exam conduct.

Suggestion: Bạn trả lời tốt với ý kiến rõ ràng và có sự liên kết giữa các câu. Tuy nhiên, bạn có thể sử dụng thêm một số từ nối để câu trả lời mạch lạc hơn và tránh lặp từ như 'rules'.

Example: Not necessarily. I believe having clear and reasonable rules is important; however, too many regulations can feel restrictive and even counterproductive. Therefore, students need some freedom to grow, explore, and develop critical thinking. The key is finding a balance, with enough guidelines to promote good behavior.

Suggestion: Câu trả lời của bạn có nội dung tốt nhưng cấu trúc câu chưa hoàn chỉnh, ví dụ phần liệt kê các hành động của giáo viên nên dùng dạng song song và có liên kết rõ ràng hơn.

Example: Yes, I was lucky to have a few dedicated teachers. One of them was my high school English teacher who was incredibly passionate about teaching. She always went the extra mile by staying after school to explain grammar points, giving us personalized feedback, and encouraging us to express our opinions.

Suggestion: Bạn nên tránh dùng từ không chính thức như 'Uh' trong bài thi IELTS. Ngoài ra, câu cuối 'That says' nên sửa thành 'That said' để đúng ngữ pháp và tự nhiên hơn.

Example: Personally, I prefer fewer rules, but only if students are mature enough to behave responsibly. I think when students are trusted with more freedom, they often become more self-disciplined and motivated. That said, some basic rules are still necessary to ensure the school environment remains respectful and safe.

× For example, students had to wear uniforms, arrived on time, and show respect to teachers and classmates.

✓ For example, students had to wear uniforms, arrive on time, and show respect to teachers and classmates.

In a list of verbs following a modal verb or auxiliary verb like 'had to', all verbs should be in the base form (infinitive without 'to'). Here, 'arrived' is incorrectly in the past tense instead of the base form 'arrive'.

× Mobile phones weren't allowed during lessons, and there were also rules about homework that lines and exam conduct.

✓ Mobile phones weren't allowed during lessons, and there were also rules about homework deadlines and exam conduct.

The phrase 'homework that lines' is unclear and likely a mistake. It should be 'homework deadlines' to make sense. This is a sentence structure and word choice error affecting clarity.

× The key is finding a balance, enough rules to guide good behavior.

✓ The key is finding a balance: enough rules to guide good behavior.

The original sentence uses a comma splice, joining two independent clauses with a comma incorrectly. Replacing the comma with a colon correctly connects the clauses and improves sentence structure.

× She was incredibly passionate about teaching and always went the extra mile to help us stay after school to explain grammar points, giving us personalized feedback, and encouraging us to express our opinion.

✓ She was incredibly passionate about teaching and always went the extra mile to help us stay after school to explain grammar points, give us personalized feedback, and encourage us to express our opinions.

After 'help us', the verbs should be in the base form, not the present participle. Also, 'opinion' should be plural 'opinions' to match the context of multiple students expressing their views.

× That says, some basic rules are still necessary to make sure the school environment stays respectful and safe.

✓ That said, some basic rules are still necessary to make sure the school environment stays respectful and safe.

The phrase 'That says' is incorrect here; the correct expression is 'That said', which is used to introduce a contrasting or qualifying statement.
