Rules— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve coherence and completeness: start with a clear topic sentence answering directly, avoid fillers (‘Umm’) and finish your thought. Use one or two supporting details with linking words (e.g., ‘for example’, ‘because’). Keep it under five sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes. My high school had many rules to maintain discipline. For example, we had strict uniform policies and restrictions on mobile phone use, which some students found excessive because they limited personal expression.

Sugerencia: Make your opinion clear and explain why with specific reasons and linking words. Correct grammar (e.g., ‘too strict’, ‘can destroy’). Provide a concise example or consequence to support your view.

Ejemplo: I don’t think more rules always help; I believe the rules should be reasonable. If rules are too strict, they can stifle students’ independence and motivation, for example by discouraging creativity in class.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear, error-free description and a concrete example of the teacher’s dedication. Use past tense consistently and avoid fragmented phrases. Use linking words like ‘for example’ correctly.

Ejemplo: Yes. I had a very dedicated teacher in high school who stayed after class to help struggling students. For example, she organized weekly study sessions and gave extra feedback on our essays to help us improve.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and give a clear reason plus a specific example. Improve grammar and sentence structure (e.g., ‘I prefer fewer rules’, ‘the girls weren’t allowed’). Use linking words like ‘because’ and ‘for example’ smoothly.

Ejemplo: I prefer fewer rules because some are unreasonable and restrict personal freedom. For example, at my high school girls weren’t allowed to have long or dyed hair, which many students felt was unfair.

Sugerencia: Clarify and correct grammar: say what the teacher forbade and describe her strict behavior with concrete examples. Avoid unclear fragments. Use two to three sentences maximum with linking words like ‘also’ or ‘besides’.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a very strict teacher who enforced school appearance rules. She even disciplined me for dying my hair, saying it violated the policy, and often reprimanded students for minor infractions.

Sugerencia: State your preference clearly and support it with a concise reason using correct grammar. Use linking words such as ‘because’ and provide a brief example or consequence to illustrate your point.

Ejemplo: I would prefer to work in a school with fewer rules rather than none, because some structure is needed to maintain discipline. For example, basic rules about punctuality and respect help classrooms run smoothly.

× There are many rules in high schools because they want students to be disciplined.

✓ There are many rules in my high school because the school wants students to be disciplined.

Error: vague reference and plural mismatch. 'High schools' is general but context asks about the student's school; use 'my high school'. Also 'they' is vague; use 'the school' for clarity and correct subject agreement. Suggestion: be specific and ensure subject matches verb.

× Like you have to.

✓ For example, you have to follow a strict dress code.

Error: sentence fragment with no complete thought. Add a full clause explaining what 'you have to' refers to. Suggestion: finish the sentence with the obligation being described.

× I think it should be reasonable rules if you want students to be disciplined.

✓ I think the rules should be reasonable if you want students to be disciplined.

Error: word order and article use. 'Should be reasonable rules' is awkward; place article 'the' before 'rules' and use normal word order 'the rules should be reasonable'. Suggestion: keep subject 'the rules' and modal 'should' before complement.

× Many rules and too straight can destroyed students too.

✓ Too many strict rules can destroy students as well.

Errors: word order and number. 'Many rules and too straight' incorrect; use 'too many strict rules'. Verb 'destroyed' is past; need base verb 'destroy' to match statement. Suggestion: order quantifier + adjective + noun, and use correct verb form.

× It is negativity.

✓ It has a negative effect.

Error: 'negativity' is a noun used awkwardly. Use a clear phrase 'has a negative effect' or 'is negative'. Suggestion: use adjective 'negative' or phrase 'has a negative impact'.

× Yes, I have known a very dedicated teacher in my high school.

✓ Yes, I knew a very dedicated teacher in my high school.

Error: incorrect use of present perfect 'have known' for a past experience specific to school period; 'knew' (simple past) is more natural here. Suggestion: use simple past when referring to a past person at a past time.

× She was very intelligent and she always be there for her students.

✓ She was very intelligent and she was always there for her students.

Error: incorrect verb form 'be' instead of past tense 'was'. Maintain past tense consistency. Suggestion: keep both verbs in past tense for past teacher.

× For example she tea taught her still.

✓ For example, she taught her students patiently.

Errors: word confusion and wrong words. 'Tea taught her still' is garbled; likely meant 'taught her students'. Add an adverb like 'patiently' to explain how. Suggestion: use correct vocabulary 'taught her students' and an appropriate adverb.

× Definitely I want few rules because I think some rules are very unreasonable.

✓ Definitely I want few rules because I think some rules are very unreasonable.

Error: 'few' vs 'a few' nuance. If speaker means 'not many' use 'few', but this sentence is acceptable. No correction needed other than optional 'I'd definitely like fewer rules'. Suggestion: to be clearer, say 'I'd definitely like fewer rules'.

× For example in my high school they girls weren't allowed to have long hair or dyed hair.

✓ For example, in my high school the girls weren't allowed to have long hair or dyed hair.

Error: extraneous pronoun 'they' before 'girls' causes incorrect structure. Use 'the girls' for the group. Suggestion: remove 'they' and use definite article for the specific group.

× Yes, I had a really strict teacher in my high school.

✓ Yes, I had a really strict teacher in my high school.

Sentence is correct in past tense; no grammatical correction needed. Suggestion: fine as is.

× She wasn't allowed me to have dyed hair even it was my true colour.

✓ She didn't allow me to have dyed hair even though it was my true color.

Errors: passive 'wasn't allowed me' is incorrect; use active 'didn't allow me'. Also connect clauses with 'even though' and use 'color' spelling consistent with context. Suggestion: use active voice 'didn't allow me' and proper conjunction.

× Besides that she always pointed BA pointed that.

✓ Besides that, she always pointed that out.

Errors: duplicated words and missing particle. 'Pointed that' needs the particle 'out' to mean 'brought attention to'. Suggestion: use phrasal verb 'point out' and remove duplicate fragment.

× I think I prefer schools with fewer rules than no rules, because no regulations at all can make students or be this can't make students be disciplined.

✓ I think I prefer schools with fewer rules rather than no rules, because having no regulations at all would make it impossible for students to be disciplined.

Errors: awkward comparison and mixed verb forms. Use 'prefer A rather than B' and revise clause to 'having no regulations... would make it impossible for students to be disciplined.' Suggestion: restructure sentence for clarity and use conditional/modal 'would'.
