× there is a trick tool about attendance and punctuality to ensure that students teach their studies seriously
✓ there is a strict rule about attendance and punctuality to ensure that students take their studies seriously
The phrase 'trick tool' is incorrect and does not convey the intended meaning. The correct phrase is 'strict rule' which fits the context of school regulations. Also, 'teach their studies seriously' is incorrect; the correct verb is 'take' when referring to studies seriously.
× there are the rules about respecting teacher and fellow students to maintain a positive learning environment
✓ there are rules about respecting teachers and fellow students to maintain a positive learning environment
The word 'teacher' should be plural 'teachers' to match 'fellow students' and to correctly refer to all teachers. Also, the definite article 'the' before 'rules' is unnecessary here.
× Rules provides a structure and discipline which can help students focus on their studies
✓ Rules provide structure and discipline which can help students focus on their studies
'Rules' is plural, so the verb should be 'provide' not 'provides'. Also, 'a structure' is unnecessary; 'structure' is uncountable here.
× I have a English teacher who does his job exceptionally well
✓ I have an English teacher who does his job exceptionally well
The article 'a' should be 'an' before a word starting with a vowel sound like 'English'.
× I truly admire her his teaching skills
✓ I truly admire his teaching skills
The pronouns 'her' and 'his' are both used incorrectly together. Since the teacher is referred to as 'he' earlier, 'his' is correct and 'her' should be removed.
