Are there any rules for students at your school?
Thí sinh
Yeah, there are quite a lot of rules in my school. Both relate to attendance or academic performance. I think these rules are necessary in China because they help students develop good study habits. For example, we are not allowed to copy others students homework or answers.

Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Thí sinh
Well, I don't think so. Too many rules will affect students creativity and motivation because they leave little room for independent thinking. However, a few essential rules are important to maintain order and safety in the classroom.

Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Thí sinh
Yes I have. When I was in middle school, my English teacher was extremely dedicated and very responsible for his students. He often stay up late to check our extra homework and regularly give extra help after class, which really improved my confidence in speaking English.

Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Thí sinh
Fewer rules, definitely. I think many school regulations are too restrictive. For example, strict rules about hairstyles and mandatory uniforms limits students personal expression. These policies feel unnecessary and can make students less comfortable and less motivated.

Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Thí sinh
Yes, I have. When I was in primary school, my Chinese teacher was very strict. He would give feedback immediately after I handed in my homework, so I often had to Polish my work several times until it was perfect. Because he insists on high standards, my writing improved a lot.
Giám khảo
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Thí sinh
Probably not. I don't think I would like to work in a rural free school because it would be quite chaotic and students might show more misbehavior without clear discipline. As a result, it would be difficult to maintain learning standards and help students improve.
Are there any rules for students at your school?
Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: 总体表达自然且直接回答了问题,但有几处可改进:1) 把 “Both relate to attendance or academic performance” 改为更具体、语法完整的短语,如列举具体规则;2) 避免冗长与重复,例如“in my school” 可以省略一次;3) 小心语法错误(others students → other students)。建议在第一句给出主题句,然后用一到两句具体例子或结果支持,使用连接词让逻辑更清晰。
Ví dụ: Yes, my school has many rules, mostly about attendance and coursework. For instance, students must attend classes on time and are not allowed to copy other students’ homework, which helps to build good study habits.
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Điểm: 88.0Gợi ý: 回答逻辑清晰并使用了对比,但可改进之处:1) 注意冠词和可数名词(students' creativity);2) 使用连接词如 “on the other hand” 或 “however” 放在句首会更自然;3) 可补充具体例子说明哪些规则是“essential”。
Ví dụ: No, I don't think more rules are better. Too many restrictions can harm students’ creativity and motivation because they leave little room for independent thinking. On the other hand, a few clear rules, such as safety procedures and attendance policies, are necessary to keep the classroom orderly.
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Điểm: 80.0Gợi ý: 回答内容真诚且相关,但存在时态和语法错误(stay → stayed;give → gave),以及表达可以更简洁。建议用一两句具体事例说明老师如何帮助你,并用过去时一致地描述事件。
Ví dụ: Yes, I have. My middle school English teacher was extremely dedicated. He often stayed up late to mark our extra homework and regularly gave extra help after class, which greatly improved my confidence in speaking English.
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Điểm: 84.0Gợi ý: 回答直接且有例子,但注意主谓一致和所有格(limits → limit;students personal → students' personal)。建议在举例后简短说明为什么这会影响学习效果,以增强说服力并使用连接词承接观点。
Ví dụ: I prefer fewer rules. Many school regulations, like strict hairstyle policies and mandatory uniforms, limit students' personal expression. As a result, students may feel less comfortable and less motivated to participate in class.
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Điểm: 78.0Gợi ý: 回答内容完整但时态混用和大小写问题(Polish 不应大写;insists → insisted)。建议保持过去时统一,减少冗余,说明严格教学的具体益处(例如具体写作方面的进步)。
Ví dụ: Yes. In primary school my Chinese teacher was very strict; he gave feedback as soon as I handed in my homework, so I often revised my work several times. Because he insisted on high standards, my writing improved significantly.
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Điểm: 86.0Gợi ý: 回答逻辑清楚并给出原因,表述自然但有重复(I don't think I would like to work ...)。建议用更精炼的主题句并加入具体例子说明“chaotic”的表现或如何影响教学。
Ví dụ: Probably not. I wouldn't want to work in a rule-free school because without clear discipline students might act disruptively, making it hard to maintain learning standards and support students' progress.
× Both relate to attendance or academic performance.
✓ Both relate to attendance and academic performance.
原句中使用“or”不恰当,语义上应列举两类规则并列出现时用“and”。建议在列举并列项时使用“and”表示两者都包括。
× For example, we are not allowed to copy others students homework or answers.
✓ For example, we are not allowed to copy other students' homework or answers.
原句有两个错误:1) “others students”错误,应该用“other students”;2) 作所有格的“students homework”应为“students' homework”。建议复习复数名词的限定词用法和所有格形式。
× Too many rules will affect students creativity and motivation because they leave little room for independent thinking.
✓ Too many rules will affect students' creativity and motivation because they leave little room for independent thinking.
这里缺少所有格撇号,应该是“students' creativity”。建议注意复数名词所有格的标记。
× He often stay up late to check our extra homework and regularly give extra help after class, which really improved my confidence in speaking English.
✓ He often stayed up late to check our extra homework and regularly gave extra help after class, which really improved my confidence in speaking English.
句子讲过去的经历,应使用过去时动词:把“stay”改为“stayed”,“give”改为“gave”。(根据提供的语法类型列表,此处归类为动词过去分词/时态问题,但仅在列表中选择“Past tense issue”也可接受;为遵循只改列表中类型,此处标注为‘Verb in the present participle form’以指示现在形式需改为过去。)建议复习一般过去时在叙述过去经历时的使用。
× For example, strict rules about hairstyles and mandatory uniforms limits students personal expression.
✓ For example, strict rules about hairstyles and mandatory uniforms limit students' personal expression.
主语是复数“rules ... and ... uniforms”,谓语应与复数主语一致,用“limit”而非“limits”;此外“students personal”需改为所有格“students' personal”。建议注意主谓一致和所有格的使用。
× Because he insists on high standards, my writing improved a lot.
✓ Because he insisted on high standards, my writing improved a lot.
前句在讲过去经历,主句“Because he insists”应与过去情境一致,使用过去时“insisted”。建议确保从句时态与叙述时间一致。
× I don't think I would like to work in a rural free school because it would be quite chaotic and students might show more misbehavior without clear discipline.
✓ I don't think I would like to work in a rural, free school because it would be quite chaotic and students might show more misbehavior without clear discipline.
原句中“rural free school”读起来像复合限定,需要逗号分隔或换词以明确意思。如果意为“没有规则的学校(rule-free)”,应改为“rule-free school”。这里可能是用词不当造成歧义。建议根据本意改为“rule-free school”或用逗号分隔形容词。
