Rules— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and direct: start with a clear topic sentence stating whether there were rules, then give one or two specific examples. Reduce fillers (uh, um) and avoid unnecessary background unless relevant. Use linking words (for example, in particular) to connect details.

Example: Yes, there were strict rules at my school because it was a military school. For example, we had a strict uniform policy and had to attend physical drills every day at 7:00 AM, which was mandatory. These rules also emphasized punctuality and regular attendance.

Suggestion: Give a clearer main idea and support it with specific reasons and one brief example. Avoid vague or incorrect words (e.g., 'adult is good' is unclear). Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' to structure the answer and keep it within 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I believe more rules can help students because they encourage discipline and punctuality. For example, a rule to limit late arrivals can improve attendance, which in turn helps students concentrate on their studies.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence naming the teacher, then give one or two specific examples of how they were dedicated. Avoid repetition and hesitations. Use linking words like 'for instance' and correct grammar (e.g., 'teachers' plural, 'explained' past tense).

Example: Yes, I had a very dedicated math teacher in college. For instance, he explained difficult concepts step by step and provided clear examples in class so we rarely needed extra practice at home.

Suggestion: Give a clear preference (more or fewer rules) in one sentence, then provide 1–2 concrete reasons with correct vocabulary and grammar. Remove hesitations and unclear phrases ('devoted from their main duties', 'pain duty'). Use linking words like 'because' and 'therefore'.

Example: I prefer more rules at school because they promote discipline and punctuality. Therefore, students are more likely to focus on their main duty, which is studying, and maintain good study habits.

Suggestion: Provide a concise answer: name the teacher, explain briefly why they were strict with specific examples of rules or behaviors, and avoid fragmented sentences and hesitations. Use past tense consistently and clear linking words such as 'for example' or 'he would'.

Example: Yes, I remember a strict teacher who taught religious studies. For example, he insisted we wake up early, attend morning prayers, and he would ask each student daily whether they had studied the religious texts.

Suggestion: Answer the specific question directly (yes or no) and then explain your reason briefly with one specific plan or example. Reduce hesitations and use coherent linking (for example, 'because' or 'so'). Mentioning goals is fine but relate it to the rule-free aspect if possible.

Example: I would like to be a teacher, but not in a completely rule-free school. I plan to open a school for students with learning disabilities because some structure and clear support help those students progress better.

× I completed school around 15 years ago, so I could not clearly remember what were the rules.

✓ I completed school around 15 years ago, so I could not clearly remember what the rules were.

The clause 'what were the rules' has incorrect word order for an indirect question in past tense. In indirect questions the subject comes before the verb: 'what the rules were'. Keep the past tense 'were' to match 'completed'.

× Uh, but I studied in a military school so there are pretty strict and hard rules about uniform attendance and punctuality.

✓ Uh, but I studied in a military school so there were pretty strict and harsh rules about uniform, attendance, and punctuality.

The speaker refers to past experience ('studied'), so the verb should be past tense 'were'. Also 'hard' is better replaced by 'harsh' and commas added for parallel items. Use consistent tense and clearer adjective choice.

× We have to attend uh physical drills every day at 7:00 AM and it was mandatory.

✓ We had to attend physical drills every day at 7:00 AM and it was mandatory.

Mixing present 'have to' with past 'was' is inconsistent. Since the context is past, change 'have to' to past 'had to' to maintain tense consistency.

× Yes, I believe so. I think there should be more rules for the students because rules help the students to make a life which is more disciplined, punctual.

✓ Yes, I believe so. I think there should be more rules for students because rules help students lead a more disciplined and punctual life.

'Make a life which is more disciplined, punctual' is awkward. Use 'lead a more disciplined and punctual life'. Also remove unnecessary 'the' before 'students' and ensure adjective order and noun phrasing are correct.

× Also rules help the students to focus more on studies.

✓ Also, rules help students focus more on their studies.

Unnecessary 'the' before 'students' and awkward 'to focus more on studies'. Use 'students' and 'their studies' for natural English and add comma for clarity.

× I think adult is good for the students.

✓ I think authority is good for students.

The original 'adult is good for the students' is unclear and ungrammatical. Likely intended 'authority' or 'adult supervision'. Use a clearer noun and remove 'the' before 'students'.

× Yes, uh, actually I have experience of multiple dedicated teacher, but I want to mention about my math teacher in college.

✓ Yes, actually I have experience of multiple dedicated teachers, but I want to mention my math teacher in college.

'Multiple dedicated teacher' should be plural 'teachers'. Also 'mention about' is incorrect; use 'mention' directly. Remove filler 'uh' for clarity.

× He was very dedicated to uh, uh, the students to make things easier, explain in such a way we don't need to work much at home.

✓ He was very dedicated to the students, making things easier and explaining in such a way that we did not need to work much at home.

Use gerund phrases 'making' and 'explaining' to link ideas; 'to make things easier' plus 'explain' is awkward. Maintain past tense 'did not' to match context and add 'that' for the explanation clause.

× I support morals uh in school rules are actually important.

✓ I support morals; school rules are actually important.

Original is a run-on with unclear structure. Split into two clauses or use a semicolon. Removing 'uh' clarifies meaning.

× Uh, otherwise uh student may be devoted from their main duties to Rules help students to lead a life which is discipline punctual.

✓ Otherwise, students may be diverted from their main duties. Rules help students lead a disciplined and punctual life.

'Devoted from' is incorrect; intended 'diverted from'. 'Student' should be plural 'students' to match 'their'. Split into two sentences for clarity, fix adjective order and form 'disciplined'.

× It also encourages them to focus more on their pain duty which is study and students who follow.

✓ It also encourages them to focus more on their main duty, which is studying, and benefits students who follow the rules.

'Pain duty' is wrong; should be 'main duty'. 'Study' as a noun is less natural than 'studying'. Clarify the ending by specifying 'benefits students who follow the rules'.

× Yes, uh, I could remember one of my teacher who is to teach us religious study.

✓ Yes, I can remember one of my teachers who taught us religious studies.

Use 'can remember' or 'could remember' depends but here present recollection 'can remember' fits; 'one of my teacher' should be plural 'teachers'; 'who is to teach' is wrong — past 'who taught' matches context. 'Religious studies' plural is natural.

× Uh, he was bit conservative and traditional.

✓ He was a bit conservative and traditional.

Missing article 'a' before 'bit'. Use 'a bit' to mean somewhat. Keep adjectives 'conservative and traditional'.

× So he always told us you have to wake up by the morning, go for break.

✓ So he always told us, 'You have to wake up in the morning and go for break.'

This is direct speech; punctuation aside, use 'in the morning' not 'by the morning'. If keeping indirect speech: He always told us that we had to wake up in the morning and go for break. Maintain tense consistency.

× Also ask every day. Did you study religious books? Uh, ask seldom.

✓ He also asked us every day, 'Did you study religious books?' He rarely asked otherwise.

Original fragments are disjointed. Combine into coherent sentences; 'ask seldom' should be 'rarely asked' and keep tense consistent.

× I would love to be a teacher actually, uh, after completing my masters, I had a plan. Go back home, open a school for students with learning disabilities.

✓ I would love to be a teacher. After completing my master's, I planned to go back home and open a school for students with learning disabilities.

Mixing conditional 'would' with past 'had a plan' is inconsistent. Use past 'planned' for past intention. 'Masters' should be 'master's' and combine clauses into one sentence with proper infinitives.

× Uh, actually, they lag behind from their counterpart.

✓ Actually, they lag behind their counterparts.

Do not use 'behind from'; correct phrase is 'lag behind'. 'Counterpart' should be plural 'counterparts' to match 'they'.

× Uh, I want to be a special teacher.

✓ I want to be a special education teacher.

'Special teacher' is vague; 'special education teacher' is the standard term for teachers who work with students with learning disabilities. Grammar is otherwise fine.
