Rules— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and directly responds to the question, but it can be improved by correcting grammar and adding linking words for coherence. For example, say "One of the most common rules at my school is that using mobile phones during class is prohibited." Also, you can add a reason or effect to enrich your answer.

Example: Yes, of course. One of the most common rules at my school is that using mobile phones during class is prohibited because it distracts students from learning.

Suggestion: Your answer is well-structured and uses linking words effectively. To improve, you can use more precise vocabulary and avoid minor grammar mistakes, such as "students' creativity" instead of "students creativity." Also, you can add a specific example to support your opinion.

Example: I don't think students will benefit from having more rules because too many restrictions can limit students' creativity and freedom to express themselves. For instance, when I was in school, strict rules made some students less motivated to participate in class activities.

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and clear, but you can improve by using more varied vocabulary and linking words. For example, instead of repeating "skills," you can say "techniques" or "abilities." Also, adding a specific example of what she taught you will make your answer more vivid.

Example: Yes, my visual art teacher from middle school does her job exceptionally well. She always encourages me and teaches me specific techniques, such as shading and perspective, which have significantly improved my drawing abilities.
