Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Thí sinh
Yes, I'm in 12th grade right now and my current last teacher, she's also my maths teacher. She's a very dedicated teacher. She makes sure we understand each and every question that we do. And if we don't get a problem, uh, sometimes we do just one question in the class because all the students have to understand it.

Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Thí sinh
Even though I think rules are good, I genuinely don't want more, uh, schools at school. I would prefer fewer rules at school because it's just hectic sometimes to have so many rules and to follow them, and sometimes we can't follow them. I might become late. I might be late to school sometimes. And yeah.

Yeah, I did have a really strict teacher back when I was in 6th grade. My Hindi teacher was really strict. Everyone was scared of her. I think she used to beat students who didn't study properly or do their homework. She was so strict and she never gave us any of her smarts.

✓ Yes, like all schools, my school also has a lot of rules for students, which include wearing your uniform properly, speaking in English.
The subject 'my school' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' instead of 'have' to agree in number. Also, 'rules' is plural, so the verb should be 'include' instead of 'includes'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue involving singular and plural forms.
× Yes, I think students would benefit more from more schools since, uh, they'll be more disciplined in their life and they'll have, you know, better habits by following these rules.
✓ Yes, I think students would benefit more from more rules since, uh, they'll be more disciplined in their life and they'll have, you know, better habits by following these rules.
The word 'schools' is incorrect here; the intended meaning is 'rules'. Using 'schools' changes the meaning and is a plural noun that does not fit the context. This is a singular/plural and word choice issue.
× She's a very dedicated teacher. She makes sure we understand each and every question that we do.
✓ She's a very dedicated teacher. She makes sure we understand each and every question that we have.
The phrase 'question that we do' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'have' when referring to questions or problems to solve. This is a verb usage issue related to the object of understanding.

✓ Yeah, I did have a really strict teacher back when I was in 6th grade. My Hindi teacher was really strict. Everyone was scared of her. I think she used to punish students who didn't study properly or do their homework.
The phrase 'used to beat' is inappropriate and likely incorrect in this context. 'Used to punish' is a better choice to convey strictness without implying physical violence. This is a word choice and past tense usage issue.
× She was so strict and she never gave us any of her smarts.
✓ She was so strict and she never gave us any of her marks.
The word 'smarts' is incorrect here; the intended word is likely 'marks' (grades). This is a word choice issue involving plural nouns.

✓ So I would never want to work in a rule-free school because, uh, from my generation's perspective, the students are really bad and I don't think it's, I think they need to be disciplined.
The phrase 'Velocity So' is unclear and likely a transcription error. 'Rotary school' is incorrect; the intended phrase is 'rule-free school'. Also, 'from my generation self' is incorrect; 'from my generation's perspective' is correct. These are word choice and singular/plural issues.
× And if there's no rules in a school, it's going to be really hard to teach them.
✓ And if there are no rules in a school, it's going to be really hard to teach them.
The phrase 'there's no rules' is incorrect because 'rules' is plural, so the correct form is 'there are no rules'. This is a 'there be' issue involving subject-verb agreement.
