Are there any rules for students at your school?

× Yes, my school has a lot of school words.
✓ Yes, my school has a lot of rules.
The student used 'school words' incorrectly; the intended noun is 'rules'. This is a word choice/quantifier issue: 'a lot of' is correct but needs a countable plural noun 'rules'. Use 'a lot of rules' or 'many rules'. Ensure noun matches quantifier.
× For example, uh student don't allow to bring on smart phone umm on the street.
✓ For example, students are not allowed to bring smartphones on the street.
'Student don't' is incorrect subject-verb agreement and verb form. Use plural 'students' with passive 'are not allowed' for rules. 'To bring on smart phone' should be 'bring smartphones' and preposition 'on the street' is fine. Use plural for countable nouns and correct passive structure.
× I can't believe believe because it's strict and normally young people use smartphones and on their life.
✓ I can't believe it because it's strict, and normally young people use smartphones in their daily lives.
Pronoun 'it' is needed after 'believe'. 'On their life' is incorrect; use 'in their daily lives'. Also remove duplicate 'believe'. Use plural 'lives' for 'people'.
× Independent, but generally speaking it is beneficial for student.
✓ Individually, but generally speaking it is beneficial for students.
'Independent' is the wrong form; 'individually' or 'personally' fits. 'Student' should be plural 'students' to match general reference. This is subject agreement/word form error.
× I think it is very important for students to learn what is good or what is wrong.
✓ I think it is very important for students to learn what is right and what is wrong.
Use 'right' rather than 'good' when contrasting moral correctness. This is a word choice error between adjectives; choose antonyms 'right'/'wrong' for clarity.
× It is necessary skill for when they become adult.
✓ It is a necessary skill for when they become adults.
Missing article 'a' before 'necessary skill' and 'adult' should be plural 'adults' to match 'they'. This is an article and quantifier/pluralization issue.
× Yes, I have. Actually. My Japanese history teacher is very keen on teaching and his homework is very enthusiastic 'cause he offered us to field work which.
✓ Yes, I have. Actually, my Japanese history teacher is very keen on teaching and assigns engaging homework because he offered us fieldwork.
'Homework is very enthusiastic' is incorrect; homework cannot be enthusiastic—use 'engaging' or 'interesting'. 'Offered us to field work which' is ungrammatical: use 'offered us fieldwork' or 'offered us the chance to do fieldwork'. This fixes adjective choice and sentence structure.
× I prefer fewer rows at my school because currently my school is very strict rules relatively.
✓ I prefer fewer rules at my school because currently my school is relatively strict.
'Rows' is wrong word; should be 'rules'. 'Very strict rules' mismatches; better to say 'school is relatively strict'. This corrects noun choice and word order. Use 'fewer rules' for countable plural.
× So ideally I would like to bring my smartphone for my study and I would like to take a photo with my friend because it's memorable for my student life.
✓ So ideally I would like to bring my smartphone for my studies and take photos with my friends because they are memorable for my student life.
Use plural 'studies' and 'friends' when speaking generally. 'Take a photo' can be plural 'take photos' to match ongoing desire. 'It's memorable' should agree in number: 'they are memorable' referring to photos or experiences. This fixes pronoun/number agreement.
× Yes I had my English teacher is very strict because in the past UMM offering homework every day is common, but currently it's unusual I think.
✓ Yes, I had an English teacher who was very strict because in the past giving homework every day was common, but currently it's unusual, I think.
Mix of tenses and structures: use past tense 'had' and 'was'. 'Offering homework' should be 'giving homework'. Add relative pronoun 'who' for the teacher clause. This fixes tense consistency and verb form.
× But English teacher it's still has still received UMM give homework every day.
✓ But the English teacher still gave us homework every day.
Sentence contains extra words and wrong tense/form. Use 'the English teacher' with past 'gave us homework every day'. Remove filler 'it's still has still received UMM'. This corrects pronoun/article use and verb tense.
× Yes, I'm very interested in working at little free schools because I've never gone to such a rural free school.
✓ Yes, I'm very interested in working at small free schools because I've never been to such a rural free school.
'Little' is acceptable but 'small' is more natural. Use 'been to' rather than 'gone to' for experience. Also 'a rural free school' needs article 'a'. This fixes article and verb choice.
× So I want to see a Stu student behavior and I wanna compare to strict role schools.
✓ So I want to see student behavior and compare it to strict-rule schools.
Remove duplicated 'Stu student'. Use 'student behavior' (no article) for general sense. 'Compare to strict role schools' should be 'compare it to strict-rule schools' or 'compare it with strict schools'; 'rule' should be adjective 'strict-rule' or rephrase. This fixes pronoun/article and word choice errors.
