Rules— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant and lists examples, but it is slightly disfluent and a bit repetitive. Improve by starting with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific examples with brief reasons. Use linking words (for example, and also) and avoid filler words.

Ejemplo: Yes. My school has several clear rules to maintain order. For example, students must not vandalize school property to keep the environment clean, and we must follow a dress code to promote professionalism and equality among students.

Sugerencia: Your idea is clear but the grammar and linking could be improved. Start with a direct stance, then explain with specific reasons and a short example. Watch subject-verb agreement and avoid repeating phrases.

Ejemplo: I think it depends, but generally I support having more rules. Clear rules create structure for students and reduce disputes—for instance, rules about behaviour during exams help prevent cheating and arguments.

Sugerencia: The answer is understandable but contains many grammar errors and hesitations which reduce clarity. Respond with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (plural/singular), and a concise example of a dedicated teacher's behaviour. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: Not really; I can't recall a teacher who was extremely dedicated. However, I appreciated teachers who took extra time to explain difficult topics and gave helpful feedback after class.

Sugerencia: You express a balanced view, but the answer is interrupted and informal. State your preference clearly, then give two concise reasons and a brief qualification. Avoid trailing off and fillers like 'uh' or incomplete sentences.

Ejemplo: I prefer a moderate number of rules: firm enough to prevent misbehaviour and guide students, but flexible enough to allow personal freedom. For example, clear rules on safety are useful, but strict curfews would be unnecessary.

Sugerencia: Your answer is coherent and contains a personal example, which is good. Improve grammar and clarity: correct phrasing and avoid awkward constructions. Use linking words to contrast past experience with your own behaviour.

Ejemplo: No, I don't remember having a very strict teacher. However, I tend to be strict myself when I tutor my nephew because I want him to build good study habits and discipline.

Sugerencia: Good clear opinion and reason, but avoid repetition and correct small grammatical slips. Start with a direct answer, give one or two concise reasons, and finish with a summarising phrase.

Ejemplo: No, I wouldn't. Without any rules, students could behave unpredictably, making classroom management very difficult, so teaching in a rule-free school would likely be chaotic.

× Yes, of course. There's a lot now.

✓ Yes, of course. There are a lot now.

Subject 'a lot' refers to 'rules' (plural) implied earlier, so use plural verb 'are' not 'is'. Use 'There are' for plural existence. Suggestion: Make the plural subject explicit: 'There are a lot of rules now.'

× You have to follow dress codes.

✓ You have to follow the dress code.

'Dress code' is typically a non-count or singular compound noun referring to a set of rules; 'dress codes' is possible but context implies the school's single policy. Use singular 'the dress code' for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'the dress code' or 'dress codes' consistently depending on meaning.

× Those are just some of the rules from my school.

✓ Those are just some of the rules at my school.

Preposition 'from' is awkward here; 'at my school' is the correct collocation. The original has a preposition issue but also corrects natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'at my school' to indicate rules belonging to the school.

× I think that would depend, but I believe that rules are important because it creates structure and also it avoids future conflict.

✓ I think that would depend, but I believe that rules are important because they create structure and also help avoid future conflict.

Pronoun-verb agreement: 'rules' is plural so use 'they create', not 'it creates'. Also use idiomatic construction 'help avoid' rather than 'it avoids'. Suggestion: Match plural nouns with plural pronouns and verbs; simplify 'also it avoids' to 'also help avoid'.

× I don't really remember any of my teacher who's who's been very dedicated in teaching, but I do appreciate those instructor who would give effort in explaining some of the topics but no one really strikes.

✓ I don't really remember any of my teachers who have been very dedicated in teaching, but I do appreciate those instructors who made an effort to explain some of the topics, although no one really stands out.

Several pronoun and agreement errors: 'teacher' should be plural 'teachers' to match 'any of my'; 'who's who's' is incorrect repetition; use present perfect 'have been' for experience up to now; 'those instructor' should be plural 'those instructors'; 'give effort' is unnatural — use 'made an effort'; 'strikes' incorrect verb — use 'stands out'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns to match context, correct verb forms (present perfect), and common collocations ('make an effort', 'stand out').

× Well, I do like when a school has strict regulations because it prevents students from making, uh, future mistakes and it has a guideline, but I don't really appreciate if it's very strict.

✓ Well, I do like when a school has strict regulations because they prevent students from making future mistakes and provide guidance, but I don't appreciate it when they are too strict.

'Regulations' is plural so use 'they prevent' not 'it prevents'; 'has a guideline' is unnatural — use 'provide guidance'; 'I don't really appreciate if it's very strict' should be 'I don't appreciate it when they are too strict' for correct conditional structure and agreement. Suggestion: Ensure subjects and verbs agree in number and use natural collocations ('provide guidance', 'too strict').

× Like I can't go out to school because.

✓ For example, I couldn't go out to school because of the strict rules.

Original fragment lacks a complete verb phrase and object; 'because.' alone is incomplete. Provide full clause explaining consequence and match tense/modal to context (could/can). Suggestion: Complete the sentence with a cause clause: 'I can't go out to school because of the rules' or 'I couldn't go out ... because of strictness.'

× No, I don't recall anyone, any of my teachers before that was so strict.

✓ No, I don't recall any of my teachers being so strict before.

Original word order and insertion of 'anyone' is awkward; use 'any of my teachers being' for proper structure. 'Before' should follow for time reference. Suggestion: Use 'I don't recall any of my teachers being...' for clarity.

× But if I am to describe a person who's checked, I would definitely say it's me.

✓ But if I were to describe a person who's strict, I would definitely say it's me.

'Checked' is incorrect word choice; likely meant 'strict'. Also use subjunctive 'were' for hypothetical 'if I were to describe'. Suggestion: Use correct adjective 'strict' and 'if I were to' for hypothetical statements.

× So when I teach my nephew, I am very strict with him.

✓ So when I teach my nephew, I am very strict with him.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Suggestion: None.

× No, that would be difficult because the students won't be or the students can do anything and it's hard to control when there's no rules to to follow.

✓ No, that would be difficult because the students could do anything and it's hard to control them when there are no rules to follow.

Use 'could' for hypothetical ability rather than 'won't be' or 'can' in this context; 'students can do anything' is acceptable but 'could' fits conditional. 'There's no rules' wrong number — use 'there are no rules'. Also avoid duplicated 'to'. Suggestion: Use 'could' for hypothetical situations, ensure subject-verb number agreement ('there are'), and avoid repeated words.
