× There are a lot of rules of for students at school, for example like don't use their smartphone while starting and also not using UH technology device during their study time.
✓ There are a lot of rules for students at school, for example: don't use their smartphones during class and don't use electronic devices during study time.
The phrase 'rules of for students' has an extra preposition; use 'rules for students'. 'While starting' is incorrect contextually; use 'during class'. 'UH technology device' is unclear; use 'electronic devices'. Also 'smartphone' should be plural to match 'their'. These are preposition and word choice errors; clarify time expressions and use correct prepositions.
× It depends for example for some good rule, for example like uh, wearing the uniform or uh, not using the technology is helping students to have their equal family standard and also help them to focus more on study instead of using phone for the whole day.
✓ It depends. For example, some good rules, such as wearing a uniform or not using technology, help students have a more equal standard and help them focus more on studying instead of using their phones all day.
The original mixes singular/plural and incorrect verb forms after 'is'. 'Not using the technology is helping' should be 'not using technology helps'—use simple present to state general truths. Modal/verb usage: use plural verbs 'help' to agree with compound subject 'wearing a uniform or not using technology' considered as examples of rules. Also correct article use and wording ('equal family standard' unclear -> 'more equal standard').
× Yeah, I had it when I was in secondary school and also high school. Uh, the teacher is restrict us, but uh, I think that, uh, those kind of teacher will teach at a lot of things and we gonna learn a lot of things from their strict key one.
✓ Yes, I had one when I was in secondary and high school. The teacher was strict with us, but I think that those kinds of teachers teach many things and we learned a lot from their strict style.
Pronoun and agreement issues: 'I had it' is vague; use 'I had one'. 'The teacher is restrict us' mixes forms—use past 'was strict with us'. 'Those kind of teacher' should be 'those kinds of teachers' (plural agreement). 'Gonna' is informal; use 'learned' or 'we would learn' depending on tense. 'Their strict key one' is unclear; replace with 'their strict style'. Correct pronoun references and subject-verb agreement.
× I wanna have fewer rules at school because I used to be a student and I hate rules a lot. For example like wearing the uniform because some days the weather is really really cold and it was freezing and we gotta weather you form. So I hope that the rule would be changed some days.
✓ I want fewer rules at school because I used to be a student and I disliked rules. For example, wearing a uniform can be uncomfortable when the weather is very cold. I hope the rules can be changed on some days.
Pronoun and verb form problems: 'I wanna' -> 'I want'. 'I hate rules a lot' in past context should be 'I disliked rules' or 'I hated rules'. 'We gotta weather you form' is ungrammatical and unclear; interpret as 'we had to wear a uniform' or 'the uniform was unsuitable for the weather'—revised to 'wearing a uniform can be uncomfortable when the weather is very cold'. 'Rule would be changed' -> 'rules can be changed' for natural phrasing.
× Yeah, as I mentioned before, uh, when I was in high school, the teacher is real strict real estate, umm, because they fosters to study a lot like stay after the class and study until the end the midnight. So I hate, we hate to stay late like that.
✓ Yes, as I mentioned before, when I was in high school, the teachers were really strict because they forced us to study a lot, like staying after class and studying until midnight. So I hated staying late like that.
Tense and verb form errors: 'the teacher is real strict' should be past 'the teachers were really strict' to match 'when I was in high school'. 'Real estate' is incorrect word choice. 'They fosters' should be 'they forced us' (wrong form and subject agreement). 'Study until the end the midnight' -> 'studying until midnight'. Correct tense consistency and verb forms.
× No, I don't want to because, uh, no rules for students and the student is so naughty and they gonna do whatever they want and it's, it's just not their proper school that I want to to work in in the future.
✓ No, I don't want to because a school with no rules would have naughty students who would do whatever they want, and it's not the kind of school I would like to work in in the future.
Article and noun phrase errors: 'no rules for students' needs to be part of a clearer noun phrase 'a school with no rules'. 'The student is so naughty' should be plural 'students who would be naughty' or 'naughty students'. 'They gonna' informal—use 'would' or 'will'. Remove repeated 'to'. Ensure proper article usage and noun agreement.
