Rules— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and finish your thought. Use linking words to add brief clarification. Also correct plural/singular and article errors (e.g., "the only rule" not "rules").

Example: Yes. The main rule at my university is that postgraduate students must publish a research paper before defending their master's or PhD thesis. In other words, publishing is a graduation requirement, which ensures students have peer-reviewed work before completing their degree.

Suggestion: Provide a clear position first and give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Reduce fillers like "umm" and use precise vocabulary (e.g., "outdated", "counterproductive").

Example: I don't think more rules are always better; rules should be flexible. For example, rigid attendance policies can harm students with health problems, so schools should update rules to accommodate individual circumstances.

Suggestion: Give a concise topic sentence then add one or two specific details about the teacher's actions and their effect. Avoid repetition and check tense/agreement (e.g., "teachers", "popped").

Example: Yes. My high school science teacher inspired me a lot. She ran engaging experiments, explained difficult concepts clearly, and encouraged me to pursue research, which ultimately led me to study science at university.

Suggestion: State your preference clearly and give one specific, well-explained example. Use linking words (e.g., "for example", "because") and correct minor grammar (e.g., "students should be allowed to bring their cell phones").

Example: I prefer fewer rules, especially removing outdated ones. For example, allowing students to bring smartphones can help with learning when used responsibly, such as accessing educational apps or researching during lessons.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and avoid rambling or fillers. If you claim you didn't have strict teachers, explain briefly why with a specific reason or example. Improve sentence structure and fluency.

Example: Not really. I can't remember having a strict teacher because I usually followed the rules and got on well with staff, so teachers rarely needed to discipline me.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence stating your position, then support it with one or two concise reasons. Correct grammar (e.g., "I don't have the qualities", "one of the major qualities is patience"). Avoid repetition.

Example: No, I wouldn't. I don't think I have the patience required to be a good teacher, and working with children in a rule-free environment would be especially challenging for me because it needs strong classroom management skills.

× Well as my university is in higher education only, so the only rules that apply to all the students is that they have to publish a paper before defending their thesis or master thesis or PhD thesis.

✓ Well, as my university is for higher education only, the only rule that applies to all students is that they have to publish a paper before defending their thesis, whether it is a master's or PhD thesis.

The original sentence has multiple structure problems: unnecessary 'so' after 'Well', plural/singular mismatch ('rules' vs 'is'), and awkward phrase 'master thesis'. Combine clauses clearly, use singular 'rule' to match 'the only', correct 'master thesis' to 'master's thesis', and remove redundant words to improve clarity. Suggestion: Break long sentences into clearer clauses and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct noun forms.

× So it's the only rules and if they don't provide the.

✓ So that is the only rule, and if they don't provide the paper, they cannot defend their thesis.

Fragment and agreement error: 'it's the only rules' mixes singular and plural and the sentence ends abruptly. Provide a complete clause and ensure number agreement ('rule' with 'is'). Suggestion: Finish ideas and keep noun number consistent with verbs.

× I believe rules should be flexible as well, because in some cases it might not be umm, as effective as they've intended to.

✓ I believe rules should be flexible as well, because in some cases they might not be as effective as intended.

Pronoun and tense phrasing: 'it might not be' should refer to 'rules' (plural), so use 'they might not be'. 'They've intended to' is awkward and unnecessary; 'as intended' is concise and correct. Suggestion: Match pronouns to their antecedents and use concise passive or active forms.

× So I believe sometimes umm, some of the rules might be abolished, or maybe a set of new rules should be passed as well.

✓ So I believe sometimes some rules might be abolished, or perhaps a new set of rules should be introduced.

'Passed' is more common for laws; for school rules 'introduced' or 'implemented' fits better. Remove filler words and duplicate articles for clarity. Suggestion: Choose appropriate verbs for institutional actions and avoid fillers.

× Yes, I think I was lucky enough that through my school years I have I had actually plenty of dedicated teacher but the ones that pops into my mind is my science teacher in high school.

✓ Yes, I was lucky; during my school years I actually had plenty of dedicated teachers, but the one who pops into my mind is my high school science teacher.

Tense and agreement issues: 'I have I had' is redundant; use past simple 'had'. 'Teacher' should be plural 'teachers' when preceded by 'plenty of'. 'Pops' should agree with 'one' so 'pops' is okay, but overall clarity improved by 'the one who pops into my mind'. Suggestion: Remove redundant words, ensure pluralization after quantifiers, and keep consistent past tense for past experiences.

× She actually is the main reason why I love science and I pursue my career career in science.

✓ She actually is the main reason why I love science and why I pursued my career in science.

Tense mismatch: 'love' can remain present, but 'pursue' should be past if referring to career choice influenced in the past; duplicate word 'career' must be removed. Suggestion: Use consistent tense for actions that started in the past and avoid repetition.

× I prefer fewer rules at school or maybe abolish the outdated ones because some of them actually not practical in this era, especially with the advancement of technology.

✓ I prefer fewer rules at school or maybe abolish the outdated ones because some of them are actually not practical in this era, especially with the advancement of technology.

Missing verb 'are' causes ungrammatical clause. Also 'fewer' is correct for countable 'rules'. Add 'are' to form complete predicate. Suggestion: Ensure every clause has a verb and check verb 'to be' presence in descriptive clauses.

× For example, I believe the school students should allow to bring their cell phone with themselves.

✓ For example, I believe students should be allowed to bring their cell phones with them.

Passive construction required: 'students should be allowed' rather than 'students should allow'. 'Cell phone' pluralize to 'cell phones' and 'with themselves' is awkward; use 'with them'. Suggestion: Use passive voice correctly when permission is given by an authority and match pronoun number.

× Really not that I can remember of or I was a pretty good student.

✓ Not really, at least not that I can remember; I was a pretty good student.

Awkward phrasing and unnecessary 'of'. Reorder to natural English: 'Not really, not that I can remember' and separate clauses with a semicolon or conjunction. Suggestion: Use standard negative response patterns and avoid dangling prepositions.

× So, uh, some, some, uh, some of time, sometimes the rules actually, uh, didn't apply to me.

✓ So sometimes the rules didn't apply to me.

Excessive fillers 'uh' and repetition 'some, some' make the sentence disfluent. Remove fillers and redundant phrases for clarity. Suggestion: Produce concise responses in tests; eliminate filler words.

× So I was, uh, uh, quite popular the teachers when I was at school.

✓ So I was quite popular with the teachers when I was at school.

Missing preposition 'with' to link 'popular' and 'the teachers'. Remove fillers and duplicate 'uh'. Suggestion: Use correct prepositions after adjectives like 'popular with'.

× I don't think so. I believe I don't have a quality to be a good teacher.

✓ I don't think so. I believe I don't have the qualities to be a good teacher.

'A quality' is incorrect; use 'qualities' (plural) or 'the quality' depending on meaning. 'Qualities' is better here to refer to multiple traits. Suggestion: Use countable/uncountable forms correctly; 'qualities' for personal traits.

× It doesn't matter if the school has required rules or not because I the one of the major quality for a good teacher is the patience.

✓ It doesn't matter whether the school requires rules or not, because one of the major qualities for a good teacher is patience.

Word order and article errors: 'I the one of the major quality' is ungrammatical. Use 'whether' for alternatives, 'one of the major qualities' for plural, and no article before 'patience'. Suggestion: Rearrange clause order and use correct articles and plural forms.

× But I I'm not and I easily lose my temper.

✓ But I'm not, and I easily lose my temper.

Redundant 'I' repeated and missing comma for clarity. Keep 'I'm not' followed by explanation; tense 'lose' is present and acceptable. Suggestion: Avoid repeated pronouns and ensure punctuation separates clauses.
