Rules— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Improve grammar (subject-verb agreement, articles, and verb forms), clarify meaning (waxing vs hair dye? white hair?), and make answer concise. Use a topic sentence then one or two specific details with linking words. Keep within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, my school has several rules about appearance. For example, students are not allowed to dye their hair or wear nail polish, which affected me because I need to dye my white hair. As a result, I felt uncomfortable and less confident at school.

Gợi ý: Make a clear topic sentence answering the question, then give a specific reason and contrast with others using linking words. Fix grammar (contractions, verb agreement) and be concise.

Ví dụ: I think it depends on the rule and the student. For example, strict appearance rules hurt me because I need to dye my white hair, but other students might appreciate clear guidelines that keep order.

Gợi ý: Use correct verb forms and combine ideas to avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific details about what made her dedicated, using linking words.

Ví dụ: Yes. In middle school my Thai teacher was very dedicated; she prepared interesting lessons and used humor to keep the class engaged. Because of her enthusiasm, I enjoyed learning and improved a lot.

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give a specific reason and an example. Correct wording and reduce repetition. Use linking words like 'however' to contrast types of rules.

Ví dụ: I prefer fewer rules about personal appearance, but I support rules that protect safety and learning. For instance, strict dress codes about hair make me feel less confident because I have a lot of white hair.

Gợi ý: Be more specific about behaviors that made the teacher strict, avoid vague words like 'mad', and correct grammar. Use one clear example and a linking word to explain the effect on you.

Ví dụ: Yes, I once had a very strict teacher who often scolded students in front of the class. Because of that, I felt embarrassed and was afraid to speak up in lessons.

Gợi ý: State your position clearly, then give specific reasons with correct grammar and concise phrasing. Avoid repetition and use linking words like 'because' and 'therefore'.

Ví dụ: No, I would not. If a school had no rules, students might lack discipline and disrespect teachers, which would make teaching ineffective and stressful.

× My school have several rules, for example don't allow doing wax and putting nails.

✓ My school has several rules; for example, it doesn't allow waxing or having nails done.

The subject 'My school' is singular so the verb must be 'has' (subject-verb agreement). 'Don't allow' is incorrect with singular subject; use 'doesn't allow'. Also use gerund nouns correctly: 'waxing' and 'having nails done' are clearer than 'doing wax and putting nails'. Use a semicolon or period to separate clauses and add commas for clarity. Suggestion: Use singular verb forms with singular subjects and prefer standard gerund phrases for activities.

× This led me to a very serious problem because I am a person who has a white hair and have to fix.

✓ This led to a very serious problem because I have white hair and have to fix it.

Pronoun and subject consistency: 'led me to' is awkward here; 'led to' is more natural. 'A white hair' is incorrect when referring to hair color or multiple white hairs; use 'white hair' (uncountable) or 'a white hair' only for a single strand. 'Have to fix' needs an object 'it'. Also 'have' should agree with subject 'I' which is correct, but wording needed smoothing. Suggestion: Use 'I have white hair' for general condition and include the object when using 'fix'.

× In my opinion, I think it depends on one person.

✓ In my opinion, I think it depends on the person.

'Depends on one person' is unnatural; English uses 'depends on the person' or 'depends on each person'. 'One person' refers to a specific single individual, which doesn't fit the intended general meaning. Suggestion: Use 'the person' or 'each person' to express general dependence.

× For example for me. The school don't allow to wax cost me so much problem because I have a white hair and that's bad but others would.

✓ For example, for me, the school's rule against waxing has caused me a lot of problems because I have white hair and that's bad for me, though it might be fine for others.

'The school don't' is incorrect; singular subject requires 'doesn't'. 'Don't allow to wax' is ungrammatical; use 'rule against waxing' or 'doesn't allow waxing'. 'Cost me so much problem' should be 'has caused me a lot of problems'. 'A white hair' should be 'white hair'. The sentence was fragmented and required rephrasing for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'doesn't' with singular nouns, use 'allow + gerund' or 'allow somebody to do something' correctly, and restructure for clarity.

× Yes, when I was in middle school she teached me Thai language and her personality was really good and also very funny so she made me laugh every time and also she is very dedicated to teach.

✓ Yes, when I was in middle school she taught me Thai, and her personality was very nice and funny, so she made me laugh all the time; she was also very dedicated to teaching.

'Teached' is nonstandard; the past tense of 'teach' is 'taught'. Mix of past and present: speaking about a teacher from middle school should use past tense consistently ('was also very dedicated to teaching' instead of 'is very dedicated to teach'). 'Teach' should be the gerund 'teaching' after 'dedicated to'. Suggestion: Use correct past tense forms like 'taught' and maintain consistent tense when describing past events; use 'dedicated to' + gerund.

× If it is relevant to appearance, I would disagree with it because I am a person who has a very very white hair and it can make me feel less confident.

✓ If it is related to appearance, I would disagree because I have very white hair and it can make me feel less confident.

'Relevant to appearance' is acceptable but 'related to appearance' is more natural. 'I am a person who has a very very white hair' is ungrammatical: use 'I have very white hair' (no article for uncountable hair) and avoid repeating 'very'. Also 'disagree with it' can be shortened to 'disagree'. Suggestion: Use concise phrasing, avoid repeated intensifiers, and correct count/uncount usage for 'hair'.

× Yes, I had a very strict and mad teacher.

✓ Yes, I had a very strict and angry teacher.

'Mad' in many English varieties can mean 'angry' but often means 'mentally ill' in formal contexts; 'angry' is clearer. 'Very strict and angry' uses two adjectives correctly to describe the teacher. Suggestion: Use precise adjectives like 'angry' rather than potentially ambiguous 'mad'.

× It is very bad to have that kind of teacher because it makes me feel very embarrassed and she always make me embarrassed everywhere.

✓ It is very unpleasant to have that kind of teacher because she made me feel very embarrassed and always embarrassed me in public.

Tense and verb agreement: describing a past teacher should use past tense 'made' instead of 'makes'. 'She always make me' is wrong; subject-verb agreement requires 'she always made me' (past) or 'she always makes me' (present). 'Embarrassed everywhere' is unnatural; 'in public' or 'in front of others' is clearer. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent, use correct subject-verb agreement, and choose natural adverbial phrases.

× I would not because I think if the school doesn't have any rules, it will make the students do everything by themselves and maybe they will don't don't admit teachers and respect them.

✓ I would not, because I think if the school had no rules, students would do whatever they wanted and perhaps they would not respect or listen to teachers.

Mixed conditionals and modal verbs are incorrect. 'If the school doesn't have any rules, it will make the students do everything by themselves' is awkward; a hypothetical should use past tense 'had' and 'would'. 'They will don't don't admit teachers and respect them' is ungrammatical; use 'would not respect or listen to teachers'. Remove repeated 'don't'. Suggestion: For hypothetical situations, use 'if + past' with 'would' for the result; avoid double negatives and repeated words.
