Giám khảo
Are there any rules for students at your school?
Thí sinh
Umm, yes, I believe every academic institution works based on rules that, uh, not only students should obliged to umm, even in my school there were umm, different rules. Some of them, uh, might include the fact that you should come to class in time.
Giám khảo
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Thí sinh
Yes, because I think that every great institution has its foundation on rules that needs to be followed. Rules are there for a reason, and that's why everyone benefits from them. And I think that the rules should be, of course, really nice.
Giám khảo
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Thí sinh
I did. In fact, in university I had a teacher that he was a doctor. He was quite older in age in comparison to other professors and he was one of the most dedicated doctors and professors I'd ever seen. He would come to class very early and stay until late trying to teach us.
Giám khảo
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Thí sinh
Well, to be honest, if you had asked me this question while I was still in school, I would say that, umm, I would want lesser rules, maybe none of them at all. But now that I have, uh, grown up and, uh, seen how the world works, I believe that yes, we do need more roles, uh, in school and society, uh, to, to work.
Giám khảo
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Thí sinh
I did. I would still give an example from my university. We had one teacher, she was a professor and I wouldn't say she was very strict, she just obliged by the rules. The thing that she really hated or despised or did not tolerate was punctuality and being late so.
Giám khảo
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Thí sinh
No, to be honest, I would not. Children nowadays are really hard to to to control, not control, but like take care of. Even with rules in place. I could not imagine how a school could be like without rules with the children that that are nowadays.
