Are there any rules for students at your school?
Thí sinh
Honestly, I'm not sure what the rules are right now because I graduated from school last year, but when I used to be a student at school there was a rule to hand over our phones to the teacher in the beginning of the lesson so it wouldn't disturb, distract us, or ruin the environment for studying.

Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Thí sinh
Personally, I think that students would benefit more from having a balanced number of rules because too many rules can cause stress and frustration, which might create a tense learning environment. For example, students may feel so scared to participate or ask questions, which can negatively affect their learning experience.

Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Thí sinh
Many dedicated teachers in my past, but the one I respected the most was the chemistry teacher. He was quite elderly, but he still wanted to share his knowledge with his students. He always used such unusual methods in his teaching process. He shared a lot of new information with us.

Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Thí sinh
I prefer having fewer rules at school because too many of them can cost sometimes unnecessary pressure on students. For example, strict rules might limit create the creativity of students and make the learning environment less enjoyable. So in my opinion, it is better to not.

Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Thí sinh
I have had a relationship teacher which was a Russian language teacher. She would always ask us questions which weren't really in our lessons or any books so that we couldn't know any answer. She obviously would get really angry at us and scream uh, guilt trip us.

Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Thí sinh
I can say that this is my dream job, but I'd like to work as a teacher in a rule free school someday to get the new experience, learn new skills, and improve some of my UH that I already have. I think this can be really useful for me in the future since as a psychologist I will work with people a lot.

× Many dedicated teachers in my past, but the one I respected the most was the chemistry teacher.
✓ I had many dedicated teachers in my past, but the one I respected the most was the chemistry teacher.
The original sentence lacks a verb, making it incomplete. Adding 'I had' completes the sentence structure, providing a subject and verb for clarity.
× He always used such unusual methods in his teaching process.
✓ He always used such unusual methods during his teaching process.
The preposition 'in' is less appropriate here; 'during' better indicates the time frame when the methods were used.
× I prefer having fewer rules at school because too many of them can cost sometimes unnecessary pressure on students.
✓ I prefer having fewer rules at school because too many of them can sometimes cause unnecessary pressure on students.
The phrase 'cost sometimes unnecessary pressure' is incorrect. The verb 'cause' fits better with 'pressure', and 'sometimes' should precede the verb for correct adverb placement.
× strict rules might limit create the creativity of students and make the learning environment less enjoyable.
✓ Strict rules might limit the creativity of students and make the learning environment less enjoyable.
The phrase 'limit create' is incorrect; only one verb is needed here. 'Limit' is appropriate, and 'the creativity' requires the definite article.
× So in my opinion, it is better to not.
✓ So in my opinion, it is better not to.
The phrase 'better to not' is awkward; the correct form is 'better not to' to maintain proper infinitive structure.
× Many dedicated teachers in my past, but the one I respected the most was the chemistry teacher.
✓ I had many dedicated teachers in my past, but the one I respected the most was the chemistry teacher.
The sentence lacks a verb, making it incomplete. Adding 'I had' completes the sentence structure.
× She obviously would get really angry at us and scream uh, guilt trip us.
✓ She obviously would get really angry at us and scream, uh, guilt-trip us.
The phrase 'guilt trip us' should be hyphenated as 'guilt-trip us' when used as a verb. Also, commas are needed to separate interjections for clarity.
× I have had a relationship teacher which was a Russian language teacher.
✓ I have had a Russian language teacher who was very strict.
The phrase 'relationship teacher' is unclear and likely incorrect. Also, 'which' should be 'who' when referring to a person. The sentence is rephrased for clarity.

✓ I can say that this is my dream job, but I'd like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school someday to gain new experience, learn new skills, and improve some of my skills that I already have.
