Are there any rules for students at your school?
Candidato
Yes, ask any institution that are rules. Umm, I'm talking about my university for example, one of the main rules is that you cannot smoke in the campus. That is because, umm, the smoke can be damaging for the lungs of the people, uh.
Examinador
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Candidato
In my view, there should be a balance between a lot of rules and an absence of rules. The main reason is that if you try to control everything with rules, you will end up charging people with a lot of instructions that are not clear.
Examinador
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Candidato
No, I have had normal teachers. They are dedicated, but not so much because I think that sometimes teachers are overcharged with responsibilities. But I have had passionate teachers. For example, there was this teacher at my school that I loved her.
Examinador
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Candidato
I prefer to have few rules, but that they are very clear. I I think that an excessive use of rules can lead to a lack of awareness of the whole set of existing.
Examinador
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Candidato
Yes. When I was in a Catholic school, I had a lot of strict teachers. They didn't let us to paint our nails or to leave a room without saying goodbye. And there are a lot of examples, but they were trying to control a lot of our behavior.
Examinador
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Candidato
I would like it because I think that there there should be rules that shape the behavior of students and also of teachers. So I would like to work as a teacher, but in a setting that has the necessary amount of control.

× Yes, ask any institution that are rules.
✓ Yes, ask any institution that has rules.
The subject 'institution' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' instead of 'are' to agree in number.
× one of the main rules is that you cannot smoke in the campus.
✓ one of the main rules is that you cannot smoke on the campus.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect here; the correct preposition to use with 'campus' is 'on'.
× They didn't let us to paint our nails or to leave a room without saying goodbye.
✓ They didn't let us paint our nails or leave a room without saying goodbye.
After 'let', the base form of the verb is used without 'to'. Including 'to' is incorrect.
× there was this teacher at my school that I loved her.
✓ there was this teacher at my school that I loved.
The relative clause already includes the object 'that', so adding 'her' is redundant and incorrect.
