Part 1
Examiner
Are there any rules for students at your school?
Candidate
Yeah, definitely. Most school in Vietnam have their own rules. In my high school, students must to wear uniforms and wear shoes. Also must to arrive in school on time. But.
Examiner
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Candidate
Yeah, definitely, because rules can raise awareness of student also is such as a heavy punishment for students if students did not do not follow the rules. So I think it's most important in.
Examiner
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Candidate
Umm, I remember that when I take part. Took part in grade one in six years old. I met a dedicated teacher. She's always cared for me and taught me about basic communication.
Examiner
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Candidate
I think in my school it should have been more rules because it can help you to raise awareness and stay in a focus environment school. So it's very important of each school is help to develop their.
Examiner
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Candidate
Yes, I remember in my 9 grades my teacher was very strict and she always cared for me and asked me a lot of questions. But I think it's good for me and I very appreciate that.
Examiner
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Candidate
Honestly I don't like to be a teacher in the future because teachers spend too much time at school as a full time job. Also extra time in the evening. So I think it's not required freedom and always have to.
Are there any rules for students at your school?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Cần cải thiện ngữ pháp cơ bản và nối câu để trả lời mạch lạc hơn. Tránh lỗi như “must to” (sai cấu trúc), số ít/ nhiều (school/schools), và câu bị bỏ dở. Bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó nêu 2–3 chi tiết cụ thể về quy định, dùng liên từ để liên kết ý (for example, also, besides). Giữ tối đa 4–5 câu và tránh lặp từ.
Example: Yes. At my high school we had several clear rules. For example, students had to wear uniforms and closed shoes, and we were required to arrive before the first lesson. Also, mobile phones were banned during class to avoid distractions.
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Score: 30.0Suggestion: Nội dung rời rạc, lặp ý và có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp (ví dụ: “raise awareness of student”, “did not do not follow”). Cần đưa ra lập luận rõ ràng (vì sao nhiều quy tắc có lợi hoặc có hại), kèm ví dụ hoặc kết quả cụ thể và dùng từ nối (because, however, for example). Tránh nói dở và hoàn thành ý tưởng.
Example: I think stricter rules can be helpful because they encourage good behaviour and protect learning time. For example, a ban on phones reduces distractions and helps students concentrate, although too many punishments can make the environment tense.
Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Ý tưởng tốt nhưng cần diễn đạt mạch lạc và đúng thì. Tránh các mảnh câu như “when I take part.” Nên bắt đầu với câu chủ đề (Yes, I have), nêu thời điểm cụ thể, hành vi thể hiện sự tận tâm (examples of actions), và kết luận ngắn gọn. Dùng thì quá khứ cho sự kiện trong quá khứ.
Example: Yes, I have. When I was six and in first grade, I had a very dedicated teacher who patiently helped me with basic speaking and listening skills. She stayed after class to answer questions and encouraged me to practice with classmates.
Do you prefer to have more or fewer rules at school?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Trả lời thiếu mạch lạc và có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp (should have been, raise awareness, stay in a focus environment). Cần nêu quan điểm rõ ràng (more/fewer), đưa lý do cụ thể và một ví dụ ngắn. Sử dụng liên từ (because, for example, therefore) và kết thúc câu hoàn chỉnh.
Example: I prefer more rules because they create a focused learning environment and reduce distractions. For example, rules about punctuality and phone use help students concentrate and improve overall progress.
Have you ever had a really strict teacher?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời rõ ràng nhưng cần chỉnh ngữ pháp và diễn đạt tự nhiên hơn (in my 9 grades → in ninth grade; I very appreciate → I really appreciated). Nên nêu vì sao nghiêm khắc là tốt (ví dụ: giúp tiến bộ) và cung cấp một chi tiết cụ thể về cách giáo viên nghiêm khắc đã giúp bạn.
Example: Yes. In ninth grade I had a very strict teacher who pushed us hard in maths and always checked our homework. Although she was strict, her high expectations helped me improve my grades and study habits.
Would you like to work as a teacher in a rule-free school?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Ý kiến rõ ràng nhưng diễn đạt chắp vá và chưa hoàn chỉnh. Cần trình bày lý do cụ thể, ví dụ về công việc thêm giờ, và kết luận rõ ràng. Sử dụng cấu trúc tự nhiên để bày tỏ quan điểm (I wouldn't like to..., because...).
Example: I wouldn't like to work in a rule-free school. Teaching already demands long hours, including evenings for grading and planning, so a lack of structure would make the job even harder and less effective.
× Most school in Vietnam have their own rules.
✓ Most schools in Vietnam have their own rules.
'School' should be plural 'schools' because 'most' requires a plural countable noun. Use 'schools' to agree with 'most'. Suggestion: Use plural nouns after quantifiers like 'most', 'many', 'few'. Example: 'Most students', 'Most schools'.
× students must to wear uniforms and wear shoes.
✓ students must wear uniforms and shoes.
After modal verb 'must' the base form of the verb is used, not 'to' plus the verb. Remove 'to'. Suggestion: Use 'must + base verb' (must wear, must arrive).
× Also must to arrive in school on time.
✓ They must also arrive at school on time.
Include subject 'they', remove 'to' after 'must', and use preposition 'at' with 'school' for arrival. Modal verbs take the base form of the verb. Suggestion: Use 'must + base verb' and place adverbs properly: 'They must also arrive at school on time.'
× But.
✓ (Remove fragment)
Single word 'But.' is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and verb; it doesn't complete the thought. It should be connected to the previous sentence or expanded. Suggestion: Combine with previous sentence or complete: 'But sometimes students ignore the rules.'
× because rules can raise awareness of student also is such as a heavy punishment for students if students did not do not follow the rules.
✓ because rules can raise students' awareness and include heavy punishments if students do not follow them.
The original is disorganized with redundant words and incorrect verb forms. Use possessive 'students'' for awareness, correct verb 'do not' rather than 'did not do not', and avoid repeating 'students'. Suggestion: Keep parallel structure: 'raise students' awareness and include heavy punishments if they do not follow the rules.'
× So I think it's most important in.
✓ So I think it's very important.
Phrase 'most important in' is incomplete and unnatural. Use 'very important' or specify 'in school'. Suggestion: Finish the idea: 'So I think it's very important in schools.'
× I remember that when I take part.
✓ I remember when I took part.
The memory refers to past event, so use past tense 'took' not present 'take'. Suggestion: Use past tense for recalled events: 'I remember when I took part.'
× Took part in grade one in six years old.
✓ I took part in first grade when I was six years old.
Fragment lacks subject and proper order. Use full clause with subject 'I', correct grade expression 'first grade', and 'when I was six years old' for age. Suggestion: Use 'I took part in first grade when I was six years old.'
× She's always cared for me and taught me about basic communication.
✓ She always cared for me and taught me basic communication skills.
Tense consistency: past tense 'cared' fits past context. Also change 'about basic communication' to 'basic communication skills' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'She always cared for me and taught me basic communication skills.'
× I think in my school it should have been more rules because it can help you to raise awareness and stay in a focus environment school.
✓ I think my school should have more rules because they can help raise awareness and maintain a focused school environment.
'Have been more rules' is incorrect; use 'should have more rules'. Use plural pronoun 'they' to refer to rules, 'raise awareness' without 'to', and 'focused' adjective before 'school environment'. Also remove redundant 'in' and reorder words. Suggestion: 'My school should have more rules because they can help raise awareness and maintain a focused school environment.'
× So it's very important of each school is help to develop their.
✓ So it's very important for each school to help students develop.
Original is ungrammatical: 'important of each school is help to develop their' lacks object and correct infinitive structure. Use 'important for each school to help students develop.' Suggestion: Specify what should be developed: 'help students develop skills'.
× in my 9 grades my teacher was very strict and she always cared for me and asked me a lot of questions.
✓ In my ninth grade my teacher was very strict; she always cared for me and asked me a lot of questions.
Use ordinal 'ninth grade' not '9 grades'. Capitalization and punctuation adjusted. 'Ninth grade' denotes the school year. Suggestion: Say 'In ninth grade...' or 'When I was in ninth grade...'.
× But I think it's good for me and I very appreciate that.
✓ But I think it was good for me and I really appreciated that.
Maintain past tense 'was' and 'appreciated' to match the recalled event. Use adverb 'really' before 'appreciated'. Suggestion: 'I really appreciated that.'
× Honestly I don't like to be a teacher in the future because teachers spend too much time at school as a full time job.
✓ Honestly I don't want to be a teacher in the future because teachers spend too much time at school as a full-time job.
Use 'want' instead of 'like to be' for intention. 'Full-time' should be hyphenated when used as adjective. Tense and article corrected. Suggestion: 'I don't want to be a teacher in the future.'
× Also extra time in the evening.
✓ They also spend extra time in the evening.
Fragment missing subject and verb. Use 'spend' to describe the action; ensure sentence has subject 'they'. Suggestion: 'They also spend extra time in the evening.'
× So I think it's not required freedom and always have to.
✓ So I think it does not offer freedom and always requires sacrifice.
Original sentence is fragmented and unclear. Use 'does not offer freedom' to express lack of freedom and 'always requires sacrifice' to complete thought. Suggestion: Clarify what is always required: 'and you always have to work overtime.'
