Thí sinh
There were a lot of rules at my school. I remember few of them. Uh, everybody had to follow a particular dressing format. Everybody should wear, umm, uniform shoes and socks, et cetera. Our textbook should be wrapped with, umm, brown sheets. We were allowed to speak only in English. We were not allowed to speak in our real region.

I strongly believe that good rules, when they are properly followed, will benefit students to improve, maintain their discipline, to increase their skill. They will be guided in a good way. But there are certain rules which are very unnecessary and it's a time killer, so good rules should be there.

× I remember few of them.
✓ I remember a few of them.
The phrase 'few' without an article implies almost none, which is likely not the intended meaning here. Using 'a few' indicates some, which fits the context better.
× Everybody should wear, umm, uniform shoes and socks, et cetera.
✓ Everybody had to wear uniform shoes and socks, et cetera.
Since the student is describing past school rules, 'had to' is more appropriate than 'should' to indicate obligation in the past.
× We were not allowed to speak in our real region.
✓ We were not allowed to speak in our real region.
The phrase 'real region' is unclear and likely a misuse of 'region' instead of 'regional language' or 'native language'. However, since the instruction is to correct only grammar mistakes from the list, this is not corrected here.
× I strongly believe that good rules, when they are properly followed, will benefit students to improve, maintain their discipline, to increase their skill.
✓ I strongly believe that good rules, when they are properly followed, will benefit students by improving and maintaining their discipline and increasing their skills.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'to improve' and 'to increase' after 'benefit students'. The correct structure is 'benefit students by doing something'. Also, 'skill' should be plural 'skills' to match the context.
× She was she was so much dedicated and she will clear our doubts whenever asked.
✓ She was so dedicated and she would clear our doubts whenever asked.
The phrase 'so much dedicated' is incorrect; 'so dedicated' is correct. Also, 'she will clear' should be 'she would clear' to maintain past tense consistency.
× I prefer having few rules where which are well designed and properly implemented.
✓ I prefer having few rules which are well designed and properly implemented.
The phrase 'where which' is incorrect; only 'which' is needed to introduce the relative clause.
× Uh, there the the IT should not be straight or it should not be impossible.
✓ Uh, the rules should not be strict or impossible.
'There the the IT' is unclear and likely a mispronunciation or error. Correcting to 'the rules' fits the context and corrects the pronoun and article misuse.
× Particular thing on student preventing them from doing their activities.
✓ Particular things on students preventing them from doing their activities.
'Particular thing' should be plural 'things' and 'student' should be plural 'students' to agree with 'them' and the context.
× No, I, I won't say that door should not be there.
✓ No, I won't say that rules should not be there.
'door' is likely a mishearing or typo for 'rules'. Also, 'won't say that rules should not be there' is clearer and grammatically correct.
× I don't, I won't work as a teacher in a rule free school.
✓ I don't think I would work as a teacher in a rule-free school.
'I won't work' is future tense and a bit abrupt; 'I don't think I would work' is more natural and fits the hypothetical context. Also, 'rule free' should be hyphenated as 'rule-free'.
