Part 1
Examiner
Are there any rules for students at your school?
Candidate
For my school is actually a really traditional school, so there are plenty of rules for students, such as your hairs can't be over long and you must wear proper uniform to school every single day. And of course you are not allowed to obey the rules as a student or you have, uh, the.
Examiner
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Candidate
I think a ideal amount of rules like 5 to 4 would be the best as a too large amount of rules may be a double sized store as students might feel rude and they can't express their own feelings so they can't feel like they're at home when they're back to school.
Examiner
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Candidate
Yes my teacher he always on time and I realized he never take any sick leaves during school days. He also have a passionate in teaching math which is my math teacher and that appear and participant of him as a teacher really UH hires my math grade as.
Examiner
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Candidate
As a student, of course I would prefer fewer rules, but in the perspective for a teacher I think a more rules would be better because as it is a school, rules are needed for students, otherwise they will have an ideal behavior.
Examiner
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Candidate
Yes, and I think it appears in everyone's school life they follow the rules and make us do it. But strict teachers have their benefits too. Like it really improve my grades and make me feel more confident in study because they are usually really passionate in teaching and having a really good system.
Examiner
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Candidate
No, I don't think I would prefer because in a real free school of course it will be really fun school life for student, but not for a teacher as it will be really tiring for teaching students who do not follow the rules and you might have to scold at them every day really often.
Are there any rules for students at your school?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Be clearer and more grammatical. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific rules with brief explanations. Avoid long, unclear phrases and filler words. Keep it within 2–4 sentences.
Example: Yes. My school is quite traditional and has many rules. For example, students must keep their hair short and wear the proper uniform every day to maintain a neat appearance. There are also rules about punctuality and classroom behaviour to ensure discipline.
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Clarify your opinion and use logical linking words. Avoid unclear phrases (e.g., '5 to 4', 'double sized store') and explain reasons concisely. Give one or two specific consequences to support your view.
Example: I prefer a moderate number of rules rather than more rules. Too many rules can make students feel restricted and unable to express themselves, which may reduce motivation and creativity. Therefore a balanced approach is better.
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: Use correct grammar and organise ideas: state the main point, then give two clear supporting details with examples. Avoid filler and incorrect verb forms. Mention how the teacher's dedication affected you specifically.
Example: Yes. My math teacher was very dedicated: he was always punctual and rarely took sick leave. He showed real enthusiasm in lessons and offered extra help after class, which helped raise my grades significantly.
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Score: 44.0Suggestion: Be concise and consistent. State your preference first, then acknowledge the other perspective with a linking phrase. Correct grammar ('more rules', 'ideal behaviour' unclear). Give a specific reason for each view.
Example: I prefer fewer rules because they allow students more freedom and creativity. However, I understand teachers may prefer stricter rules to maintain discipline and prevent disruptive behaviour in class.
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Score: 54.0Suggestion: Organise into a clear topic sentence and two supporting points. Use precise language and connect ideas with linking words. Give a short example of how the strictness helped you personally.
Example: Yes, I have. Strict teachers often insist on high standards and clear routines, which helped me improve my grades. For example, my strict teacher set regular quizzes and gave detailed feedback, which increased my confidence in exams.
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Answer directly, then give two clear reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and informal phrases like 'scold at them'. Keep sentences grammatically correct and concise.
Example: No, I would not. While a rule-free school might be enjoyable for students, it would be very challenging for teachers because classrooms could become chaotic and it would be difficult to manage learning. Consequently, maintaining some rules is important for effective teaching.
× For my school is actually a really traditional school, so there are plenty of rules for students, such as your hairs can't be over long and you must wear proper uniform to school every single day.
✓ My school is actually very traditional, so there are plenty of rules for students, such as your hair can't be too long and you must wear the proper uniform to school every day.
Original uses 'For my school' incorrectly and switches perspective with 'your'. Use 'My school' to state fact about the speaker's school. 'Hairs' is incorrect—'hair' is an uncountable noun when referring to hair on the head. 'Over long' is unnatural; 'too long' is correct. Include the definite article 'the' before 'proper uniform' and use 'every day' (two words) for frequency. Suggestion: Use consistent first-person perspective and correct noun forms.
× And of course you are not allowed to obey the rules as a student or you have, uh, the.
✓ And of course, students are required to obey the rules.
The original sentence is fragmented and contradictory ('not allowed to obey' conflicts with intent). It also mixes 'you' and an unfinished phrase. Rephrase to a clear passive statement 'students are required to obey' to convey rules. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: Avoid contradictory wording and finish thoughts.
× I think a ideal amount of rules like 5 to 4 would be the best as a too large amount of rules may be a double sized store as students might feel rude and they can't express their own feelings so they can't feel like they're at home when they're back to school.
✓ I think an ideal number of rules, maybe four or five, would be best, because too many rules might make students feel restricted; they might not be able to express their feelings and therefore may not feel at home at school.
Use 'an' before a vowel sound ('an ideal'). 'Amount' is for uncountable nouns; use 'number' for countable 'rules'. '5 to 4' is unclear—use 'four or five'. 'Too large amount' should be 'too many rules'. 'Double sized store' is nonsensical here; replace with 'might make students feel restricted'. 'Rude' is incorrect in this context. Also adjust tense and punctuation to improve clarity. Suggestion: Use precise vocabulary and correct determiners for countable nouns.
× Yes my teacher he always on time and I realized he never take any sick leaves during school days.
✓ Yes, my teacher is always on time, and I noticed he never takes any sick leave during school days.
Missing verb 'is' after 'teacher'. 'Realized' can be 'noticed' (style) and 'take' must be 'takes' for third person singular subject 'he'. 'Sick leaves' should be 'sick leave' (uncountable or singular when referring to absence). Suggestion: Ensure verbs agree with third-person singular subjects and include necessary linking verbs.
× He also have a passionate in teaching math which is my math teacher and that appear and participant of him as a teacher really UH hires my math grade as.
✓ He is also passionate about teaching math; he is my math teacher, and his teaching has really helped raise my math grades.
'Have a passionate' is incorrect; use 'is passionate about'. The clause is jumbled and contains filler 'UH' and incoherent phrases like 'appear and participant of him'. Use 'his teaching has helped raise my math grades' to convey intended meaning. Suggestion: Use correct adjective + preposition patterns ('passionate about') and simplify sentence structure.
× As a student, of course I would prefer fewer rules, but in the perspective for a teacher I think a more rules would be better because as it is a school, rules are needed for students, otherwise they will have an ideal behavior.
✓ As a student, of course I would prefer fewer rules, but from a teacher's perspective I think more rules would be better because at school rules are needed; otherwise students might behave improperly.
Use 'fewer' for countable nouns (correct) but 'a more rules' is incorrect—remove 'a' and use 'more rules'. 'In the perspective for a teacher' should be 'from a teacher's perspective'. 'Ideal behavior' is the opposite of intended meaning; use 'behave improperly' or 'misbehave'. Suggestion: Use correct quantifier and idiomatic prepositional phrases.
× Yes, and I think it appears in everyone's school life they follow the rules and make us do it.
✓ Yes, and I think it's common in everyone's school life that teachers enforce the rules and make us follow them.
Original 'it appears in everyone's school life they follow the rules' is unclear and mixes subjects. Clarify that 'teachers enforce the rules' and change 'make us do it' to 'make us follow them' for correct pronoun reference. Suggestion: Keep subject consistent and ensure pronouns clearly refer to their antecedents.
× Like it really improve my grades and make me feel more confident in study because they are usually really passionate in teaching and having a really good system.
✓ For example, it really improved my grades and made me feel more confident in my studies because they are usually very passionate about teaching and have a good system.
Verb tense inconsistency: use past tense 'improved' and 'made' to match context if referring to a past experience, or present perfect if ongoing. 'Confident in study' should be 'confident in my studies'. 'Passionate in teaching' should be 'passionate about teaching'. 'Having a really good system' should be 'have a good system'. Suggestion: Match verb tenses and use correct prepositions with 'passionate'.
× No, I don't think I would prefer because in a real free school of course it will be really fun school life for student, but not for a teacher as it will be really tiring for teaching students who do not follow the rules and you might have to scold at them every day really often.
✓ No, I don't think I would prefer that, because in a completely free school it might be fun for students but not for teachers, as it would be very tiring to teach students who do not follow the rules, and you might have to scold them very often.
Use 'prefer that' for linking clause. 'Real free school' -> 'completely free school'. Modal verbs: use 'might' and 'would' for hypothetical situations. 'Scold at them' is incorrect—use 'scold them'. 'Every day really often' is redundant; 'very often' suffices. Suggestion: Use appropriate modal verbs for hypothetical situations and remove unnecessary prepositions.
