Rules— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is generally clear and relevant, but there are some minor grammatical errors and redundancy. For example, "We additionally, we also" is repetitive. Try to use more precise linking words and avoid repeating the same idea. Also, aim to use a wider range of vocabulary and more specific examples to enrich your answer.

Example: Yes, there are several important rules at my school. For example, students must arrive on time to ensure classes start promptly. Moreover, we have rules in the classroom to maintain a positive and respectful learning environment.

Suggestion: Your answer is well-structured and balanced, but it could be improved by using more varied vocabulary and clearer linking phrases. Also, watch out for small grammatical errors such as missing articles and plural forms. Adding a specific example would make your answer more convincing.

Example: I believe that while some rules are necessary to help students develop self-discipline and responsibility, having too many rules might restrict their individuality and creativity. For instance, strict uniform policies might limit students' ability to express themselves.

Suggestion: Your answer addresses the question but contains some grammatical mistakes and awkward phrasing, such as "and high school" which seems misplaced. Try to organise your ideas more clearly and use linking words to connect your points. Also, avoid run-on sentences by breaking them into shorter, clearer sentences.

Example: Yes, my high school economics teacher does his job very well. He strikes a good balance between being friendly and approachable, while also maintaining strictness and professionalism. Additionally, he is very knowledgeable in his subject, which helps students learn effectively.

× For instance, we have to arrive at school on time to ensure the class would start promptly.

✓ For instance, we have to arrive at school on time to ensure the class starts promptly.

The sentence uses 'would start' which is incorrect here because the clause expresses a general truth or habitual action. The simple present tense 'starts' is appropriate to indicate that the class regularly begins promptly when students arrive on time.

× We additionally, we also have regulations in class so that we could have a good classroom atmosphere.

✓ Additionally, we also have regulations in class so that we can have a good classroom atmosphere.

The original sentence has redundant subjects ('We additionally, we also') causing awkwardness. Starting with 'Additionally' as an adverb and removing the repeated subject improves clarity. Also, 'could' is replaced with 'can' to express ability or possibility in the present tense.

× Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?

✓ Do you think students would benefit more from additional rules?

While 'would benefit' is acceptable in hypothetical contexts, the phrase 'more rules' is repetitive. Replacing the second 'more' with 'additional' improves clarity and style. The modal verb usage is correct here.

× On the one hand, I do believe some rules can help students to build self-discipline as well as become more responsible.

✓ On the one hand, I do believe some rules can help students build self-discipline as well as become more responsible.

The verb 'help' is followed by the base form of the verb without 'to' in this context. Therefore, 'help students to build' should be 'help students build' for correct grammar.

× On the other hand, too many rules could infringe students individuality as well as it may cause them to lose creativity.

✓ On the other hand, too many rules could infringe students' individuality as well as cause them to lose creativity.

The word 'students' is plural and needs a possessive apostrophe to indicate that individuality belongs to the students. Also, 'it may cause' is redundant after 'could infringe' and can be simplified to 'cause' for parallel structure.

× Yes, my economics teacher and high school did his job really well because I believe he found the balance of being nice and friendly towards students as well as being strict and professional and specialized in his own field.

✓ Yes, my economics teacher in high school did his job really well because I believe he found the balance between being nice and friendly towards students and being strict, professional, and specialized in his own field.

The phrase 'and high school' is unclear and likely missing a preposition; 'in high school' clarifies the meaning. Also, 'balance of' should be 'balance between' when comparing two qualities. The list at the end is improved by adding commas and conjunctions for clarity.
