Rules— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific examples and finish with a brief conclusion. Avoid sentence fragments and fix word order (e.g., “how to speak with teachers”). Use linking words like “for example” and “therefore.”

Example: I’m not a student now, but I studied at a military school where the rules were very strict and helped me become more disciplined. For example, we had rules about attendance and uniform, and we were taught how to speak respectfully to teachers. Because of these rules, students learned responsibility and order. Overall, I believe rules provide a useful foundation for students.

Suggestion: Make the response direct and add a linking phrase to support your opinion. Correct grammar (e.g., “benefits,” “well-behaved”) and give a brief specific example or consequence to make it convincing.

Example: Yes, I think students generally benefit from clear rules because they promote discipline and respect. For instance, a punctuality rule encourages students to arrive on time, which improves learning for the whole class. Therefore, reasonable rules can create a better learning environment.

Suggestion: Organize into a topic sentence plus supporting detail. Avoid unnecessary questions inside the answer; instead report the information directly. Use linking words like “for example” and correct plural forms (“students”).

Example: Yes, I had a very dedicated math teacher at my missionary college. He even had a PhD, but he chose to teach at college because he enjoyed building a strong foundation for students. For example, he used real-life problems to make math interesting and encouraged us to think logically.

Suggestion: Be more concise and clear: give a direct preference, then explain with one or two specific reasons. Correct grammar (“behave with” → “behave toward/with,” complete the final sentence). Use linking words like “however” and “for example.”

Example: I prefer a balance: not too many rules, but some essential ones. For example, rules about attendance, uniform, and respectful behaviour help maintain discipline and a good learning environment. However, excessive rules can feel oppressive and reduce students’ motivation.

Suggestion: Clarify and complete your sentences; avoid repetition and hesitations. Start with a clear topic sentence, give two concrete examples of strictness, and mention how it affected you. Use correct grammar (e.g., “he demanded that we submit them in perfect order,” “we made mistakes”).

Example: Yes, my English teacher was very strict. He gave us a lot of homework and insisted we submit it neatly and on time. This was stressful at first, but it improved my writing and punctuality because he corrected our mistakes carefully.

Suggestion: Answer directly, avoid fillers (“uh”), and use clearer logical connectors (e.g., “otherwise,” “therefore”). Provide one specific reason and a brief example of the likely consequence of no rules.

Example: No, I would not want to teach in a rule-free school because rules are necessary to maintain order. Otherwise, students may ignore teachers’ instructions and classes could become chaotic, making it hard to teach effectively. Therefore, a school with reasonable rules can function properly and support learning.

× I'm not a student now, but I studied in a military school so the rules were very strict and it actually helped me to lead a very disciplined life.

✓ I'm not a student now, but I studied at a military school, so the rules were very strict and they actually helped me to lead a very disciplined life.

Use present reference 'they' for plural noun 'rules' instead of singular 'it'. Also use preposition 'at' with 'studied at a school'. This keeps tense consistent: past actions (studied, helped) with present relevance. Suggestion: replace 'it' with 'they' and 'in' with 'at'. Grammar problem type ID:6

× There are specific rules about attendance, uniform, how to speak with teacher and how to behave with others.

✓ There are specific rules about attendance, uniform, how to speak to teachers and how to behave with others.

Use 'speak to' (or 'speak with') and plural 'teachers' to refer generally. 'With teacher' is incorrect; use 'to teachers'. Also keep parallel structure. Suggestion: use 'speak to teachers' and ensure parallel nouns. Grammar problem type ID:11

× I think rules are important because they give a foundation student how to.

✓ I think rules are important because they give students a foundation and teach them how to behave.

Original sentence has missing words and incorrect word order. Need plural 'students', noun phrase 'a foundation', and a verb clause 'teach them how to behave' to complete meaning. Suggestion: add missing words and reorder to form a complete clause. Grammar problem type ID:26

× I think there are a lot of benefit of rules for the students.

✓ I think there are a lot of benefits of rules for students.

Use plural 'benefits' after 'a lot of'. Also 'students' generally does not need 'the' here. Suggestion: use 'a lot of benefits' or 'many benefits'. Grammar problem type ID:14

× Rules help them to follow a certain lifestyle which will make them more disciplined, well behaved and more respectful.

✓ Rules help them follow a certain lifestyle which will make them more disciplined, well-behaved, and more respectful.

Remove 'to' after 'help' when followed by base verb; hyphenate 'well-behaved' as a compound adjective and add commas for clarity. Suggestion: 'help them follow' and hyphenate compounds. Grammar problem type ID:13

× Yes, I actually had.

✓ Yes, I have.

Question asks 'Have you ever had', so present perfect 'have' is appropriate for experience; 'I actually had' is simple past and sounds incomplete. Suggestion: use 'Yes, I have.' or 'Yes, I have had one.' Grammar problem type ID:5

× I studied in a missionary college and our math teacher was very dedicated to his work.

✓ I studied at a missionary college and our math teacher was very dedicated to his work.

Use 'at' with 'studied' and an institution. 'In' is acceptable in some dialects but 'at' is preferred. No article change needed. Suggestion: use 'studied at a missionary college'. Grammar problem type ID:11

× Sometimes I wonder why did he teach in college instead of university and he said that he loved to build the foundation for the student and build a genuine interest for math.

✓ Sometimes I wonder why he taught in college instead of a university, and he said that he loved to build the foundation for students and to build a genuine interest in math.

Do not use auxiliary inversion in embedded question: use 'why he taught'. Match tense to past 'taught'. Use article 'a university'. Use plural 'students' and correct preposition 'interest in math'. Add parallel 'to build'. Suggestion: avoid inversion in subordinate clauses and maintain parallel structure. Grammar problem type ID:26

× Actually, I personally don't like following a lot of rules, but I think there should be certain rules to follow in school especially focusing discipline, attendance, uniform and behave with students and teachers.

✓ Actually, I personally don't like following a lot of rules, but I think there should be certain rules to follow in school, especially focusing on discipline, attendance, uniform, and how to behave with students and teachers.

Add 'on' after 'focusing' and change 'behave with' to 'how to behave with' or 'behavior toward'. Ensure parallel noun phrases. Suggestion: use 'focusing on' and make list parallel. Grammar problem type ID:14

× Actually rules help them to build a more.

✓ Actually, rules help them to build more discipline.

Original sentence is incomplete and vague. Provide clear object: 'more discipline' or 'stronger character'. Remove 'to' after 'help' when followed directly by noun. Suggestion: complete the idea with a noun phrase. Grammar problem type ID:26

× Yes, I had a particular remember my English teacher in school, he was very very strict.

✓ Yes, I remember a particular teacher from school; he was very, very strict.

Original mixes past forms and has incorrect word order. Use 'I remember' and 'a particular teacher from school'. Replace comma splice with semicolon or period. Suggestion: use correct verb 'remember' and proper noun phrase. Grammar problem type ID:12

× Every day he used to give us a lot of homework and demanded us to submit them perfect order.

✓ Every day he used to give us a lot of homework and demanded that we submit it in perfect order.

'Demanded us to' is incorrect: use 'demanded that we submit' or 'required us to submit'. 'Homework' is uncountable usually singular 'it' and add preposition 'in' before 'perfect order'. Suggestion: use 'demanded that we submit it in perfect order' or 'required us to submit our homework in perfect order'. Grammar problem type ID:14

× Umm, it was not easy always.

✓ Umm, it was not always easy.

Adverb placement: 'always' should come before 'easy' or after 'was not'. Use natural word order 'not always easy'. Suggestion: place adverbs in usual positions. Grammar problem type ID:6

× Sometimes we did mistake and each time we did mistake they usually.

✓ Sometimes we made mistakes, and each time we made a mistake they usually punished us.

Use correct verb 'made mistakes' not 'did mistake'. The second clause is incomplete; add likely completion 'punished us' to convey meaning. Suggestion: use 'made mistakes' and complete the clause. Grammar problem type ID:26

× No, I don't like to work in a rule free school because those are very important.

✓ No, I don't want to work in a rule-free school because rules are very important.

'Rule free' should be hyphenated 'rule-free' as an adjective. 'Those' is vague; use 'rules are very important'. Also 'don't like to work' -> 'don't want to work' is more natural. Suggestion: use hyphenation and clear subject. Grammar problem type ID:14

× It otherwise students don't like to follow the command of the teachers and there will be chaos and I feel it will be hard to teach them.

✓ Otherwise, students won't like to follow the teachers' commands, there will be chaos, and I feel it will be hard to teach them.

Start with 'Otherwise,' and use future contraction 'won't' for prediction. Use possessive 'teachers' commands' and add commas to separate clauses. Suggestion: reorder and punctuate for clarity and correct tense. Grammar problem type ID:16

× So rules are important and I think uh school with rules can function properly.

✓ So rules are important, and I think a school with rules can function properly.

Add article 'a' before 'school' to refer to any school. Tense is fine; this fixes article use. Suggestion: use 'a school with rules'. Grammar problem type ID:6
