Rules— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Clarify and simplify sentences, correct grammar mistakes, and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific examples using linking words. Watch subject-verb agreement and redundant phrases.

Ejemplo: I’m not a student now, but when I was at school there were strict rules about appearance. For example, we had to keep our uniforms ironed and neat, and students were not allowed to dye their hair or wear heavy makeup. These rules were meant to promote discipline and a uniform appearance.

Sugerencia: Make the answer more concise and logical by using linking words and correcting awkward phrasing. Give one or two specific reasons or examples to support your opinion.

Ejemplo: Yes, I believe students benefit from clear rules because teenagers often test boundaries; therefore, rules help teach self-control and responsibility. For instance, a school curfew and homework deadlines can encourage time management and better study habits.

Sugerencia: Avoid vague or contradictory statements. If you say you haven't had a dedicated teacher, explain why or give an example of a teacher who was influential. Use correct verbs and simpler structures to be clear.

Ejemplo: I can't recall a teacher who was extremely strict, but several teachers were supportive and emphasized life skills. For example, my math teacher encouraged punctuality and careful work, which taught me discipline that helped later in my job.

Sugerencia: Fix spelling and grammar (roles → rules; develops → develop), and structure answer: state preference then explain with specific examples using linking words. Keep sentences concise.

Ejemplo: As a student I preferred fewer rules, but now I think clear, consistent rules are helpful because they teach self-discipline. For example, fixed schedules and routines—such as set class times and homework policies—help students build good habits.

Sugerencia: Improve fluency by avoiding repetition (really, rigid), correct grammar and end sentences properly. Give one clear specific example and link it to the effect on students.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had a strict high school teacher who insisted on precise preparation and punctuality. For example, she required all materials—such as markers—to be ready before class and expected homework to be handed in on time, which made us more organized.

Sugerencia: Complete unfinished thoughts and avoid awkward phrasing. State your position clearly, give two concise reasons, and finish the final sentence. Use linking words (because, therefore, and).

Ejemplo: No, I would not want to teach in a rule-free preschool because too much freedom could lead to chaos and make classroom management difficult. Therefore, it would be hard to maintain authority and teach basic habits like sharing and following routines.

× One of the more prevalent ones were considered were around grooming and how we stand ourselves.

✓ One of the more prevalent ones was considered to be around grooming and how we present ourselves.

Subject 'One' is singular so 'were' is incorrect; use 'was'. Also 'stand ourselves' is wrong collocation — use 'present ourselves'. Use 'considered to be' for passive construction. Suggestion: match verb number to singular subject and choose correct verb phrase for presenting behavior.

× Our uniforms always had to be ironed, we weren't allowed to color our hair nor we nor were we allowed to wear heavy makeup.

✓ Our uniforms always had to be ironed; we weren't allowed to color our hair, nor were we allowed to wear heavy makeup.

Comma splice joins independent clauses incorrectly; use semicolon or split into sentences. Also 'nor we nor were we' is incorrect word order. After 'nor' with auxiliary, invert subject and auxiliary: 'nor were we allowed'. Suggestion: separate clauses properly and use inversion after 'nor'.

× I think students do benefit more from having rigid rules because when you're still a child, especially when you're a teenager and there is an innate feeling of wanting to rebel in you, and it's important that at that age you instill a sense of discipline within the youth.

✓ I think students benefit more from having clear rules because when you're still a child, especially a teenager, there is an innate desire to rebel, and it's important to instill a sense of discipline in young people at that age.

Redundant 'do benefit' is unnecessary in simple present. 'Wanting to rebel in you' is awkward — use 'desire to rebel'. 'Instill a sense of discipline within the youth' is wordy; use 'in young people'. Keep verb tense simple present for general truths. Suggestion: use concise expressions and standard collocations for feelings and groups.

× Most of my teachers have been pretty relaxed, but they have also imported within us the importance of not only the lessons they were teaching, but as well as instilling self-discipline in order for us to be successful in our careers.

✓ Most of my teachers were pretty relaxed, but they also impressed on us the importance not only of the lessons they taught but also of instilling self-discipline so we could be successful in our careers.

Use 'impressed on us' (or 'instilled in us') rather than 'imported within us'. 'Not only... but also' structure was used incorrectly and word order wrong. Use past tense 'were' or present perfect consistently; here past 'were' and 'taught' suit 'when I was a student'. Replace 'in order for us to be' with 'so we could be' for natural phrasing.

× When I was a student I definitely preferred having fewer roles, but now as an adult I could see the benefit of giving rules which are clear and strict towards students because as an adult I can see how that helps them develops their self-discipline.

✓ When I was a student I definitely preferred having fewer rules, but now as an adult I can see the benefit of giving rules that are clear and strict because I can see how that helps them develop self-discipline.

'Roles' is a wrong word; should be 'rules'. 'Could see' mixes past conditional with present; use 'can see' for current view. 'That are' is preferred to 'which are' in restrictive clauses. 'Develops' should be base form 'develop' because subject 'them' requires plural verb or use 'help them to develop'. Suggestion: choose correct nouns and ensure verb forms match subject and tense.

× For example, giving them clear schedules, clear routines and expecting them to follow.

✓ For example, giving them clear schedules and routines and expecting them to follow them.

Sentence fragment lacks main clause or object for 'follow'. Add 'them' to indicate what they should follow. Keep gerund structure consistent. Suggestion: complete the clause with the object and parallel structure.

× She was really rigid about the way she went with her lessons.

✓ She was really rigid about the way she conducted her lessons.

'Went with her lessons' is unidiomatic. Use 'conducted' or 'delivered' for teaching. Tense 'was' is fine. Suggestion: use appropriate verbs for teaching contexts.

× For example, her markers always had to be prepared beforehand, and her homeworks always had to be turned in at the time she.

✓ For example, her materials always had to be prepared beforehand, and her homework always had to be turned in at the time she specified.

'Markers' may be wrong depending on meaning; 'materials' is safer. 'Homeworks' is incorrect — 'homework' is uncountable. Sentence ends incomplete 'at the time she' needs verb 'specified' or 'requested'. Suggestion: use uncountable noun 'homework' and complete the clause with a verb.

× I definitely would not want to work as a teacher in our role for preschool.

✓ I definitely would not want to work as a teacher in a role at a preschool.

Phrase 'in our role for preschool' is confusing; likely meant 'in a role at a preschool'. Adjust prepositions and articles. Modal 'would not want to' is fine. Suggestion: clarify prepositional phrase and use article 'a'.

× I feel like in a school like that, students would be given way too much freedom and that would incite chaos.

✓ I feel that in a school like that, students would be given far too much freedom and that would lead to chaos.

'Incite chaos' is less natural than 'lead to chaos'. 'Way too much' is informal; 'far too much' is more neutral. Suggestion: prefer 'lead to' for consequences and choose appropriate register.

× As a teacher, it would be difficult for you to impart your authority amongst the children and it would make it a challenge to instill a sense of.

✓ As a teacher, it would be difficult to assert your authority among the children, and it would be a challenge to instill a sense of discipline.

Use 'assert your authority' rather than 'impart your authority'. 'Among' is more common than 'amongst' in modern usage. Sentence ended incomplete; add 'discipline'. Suggestion: use correct collocations and complete the object of 'instill'.
