× Since I live in Malaysia, so I would say yes, uh, in a Muslim country, uh, what we wear, there are some rules, uh, to what we should wear when we enter the classroom or we enter the office.
✓ Since I live in Malaysia, I would say yes, uh, in a Muslim country, uh, there are some rules about what we should wear when we enter the classroom or the office.
The conjunction 'since' already indicates a cause, so using 'so' after it is redundant and incorrect. Also, the sentence structure was awkward; 'there are some rules about what we should wear' is clearer and grammatically correct.
× I don't think so. Umm, because for students the target is study, uh, not instead of rules, but if when talks about when we talks about the primary school students, they are young. Maybe we yeah, we need to lose.
✓ I don't think so. Umm, because for students the target is to study, uh, not to have more rules, but when we talk about primary school students, they are young. Maybe we need to be more lenient.
The sentence had incorrect conjunctions and awkward phrasing. 'Not instead of rules' is unclear; 'not to have more rules' is clearer. 'When talks about' should be 'when we talk about'. 'Need to lose' is incorrect; 'need to be more lenient' fits the meaning better.
× Yes, I still remember my Chinese teacher when I was in primary school. She's really a dedicated teacher and she's approvable, appreciable, and she even gave me a gift as encouragement.
✓ Yes, I still remember my Chinese teacher when I was in primary school. She's really a dedicated teacher and she's admirable, appreciable, and she even gave me a gift as encouragement.
The words 'approvable' and 'appreciable' are not appropriate adjectives to describe a person. 'Admirable' is the correct adjective to express respect or approval for someone's qualities.
× I of course as a student I should say I prefer to have fewer rules at school because sometimes not all the rules support to all kind of people, so less rule is better.
✓ I, of course, as a student, should say I prefer to have fewer rules at school because sometimes not all the rules support all kinds of people, so fewer rules are better.
'All kind of people' should be plural 'all kinds of people'. 'Less rule' is incorrect; 'fewer rules' is correct for countable nouns. Also, 'fewer rules are better' agrees in number.
× Yes I still remember when I was in primary school my ex teacher are really strict and each time when I didn't have a good performance she scored me so I always remember that she was so strict.
✓ Yes, I still remember when I was in primary school my ex-teacher was really strict and each time when I didn't have a good performance she scored me, so I always remember that she was so strict.
The subject 'my ex teacher' is singular, so the verb should be 'was' not 'are'. Also, 'ex teacher' should be hyphenated as 'ex-teacher'.
× Uh, as a teacher, I don't want to work as in a rule free school because sometimes, uh, all kinds of children or students, they need some disciplines. If without rules, then we can the, the class can be on out of control.
✓ Uh, as a teacher, I don't want to work in a rule-free school because sometimes, uh, all kinds of children or students need some discipline. Without rules, the class can be out of control.
The phrase 'work as in a rule free school' is incorrect; it should be 'work in a rule-free school'. 'Some disciplines' should be 'some discipline' as 'discipline' is uncountable here. The sentence 'If without rules, then we can the, the class can be on out of control' is ungrammatical and redundant; corrected to 'Without rules, the class can be out of control.'
