Rules— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more specific and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether there are rules, then give one or two specific examples of common rules and briefly mention the problem (students not obeying) with a linking word. Avoid vague phrases like “a lot” and unnecessary repetition.

Exemplo: Yes, there are many rules at my school. For example, students must wear uniforms and arrive by 8:00 a.m., but many ignore these rules, which causes lateness and disrupts lessons.

Sugestão: Give a clear opinion and justify it with a specific reason. Use linking words (e.g., 'however', 'because') to make your answer coherent. Avoid repetition and hedging phrases like “maybe, maybe”.

Exemplo: It depends on the rule; some rules would help students, for example stricter attendance policies could improve punctuality, however unnecessary rules about personal appearance might reduce morale.

Sugestão: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence and give a specific reason or short example to support your claim. Avoid filler words like “umm” and use a concise structure (opinion + reason).

Exemplo: No, I haven't. In my school most teachers seem overloaded and focus on finishing the syllabus rather than guiding students, so they rarely offer extra help or mentorship.

Sugestão: Give a clear preference and explain with one or two specific criteria that determine whether a rule is good. Keep it concise and avoid saying “I don't know what to choose.” Use linking words to connect ideas.

Exemplo: I prefer fewer rules overall, but I support clear, sensible rules such as safety measures or attendance requirements because they help learning; unnecessary restrictions on dress or hair, however, seem pointless.

Sugestão: Provide a brief, specific anecdote and explain the effect of the teacher's strictness on you or classmates. Avoid repeating adjectives and maintain a formal tone (e.g., avoid accusing language without detail).

Exemplo: Yes, I had a very strict university professor who enforced harsh penalties for late work; his approach created a tense classroom atmosphere and several students complained, which eventually led to his dismissal.

Sugestão: State your position clearly and give one or two concrete reasons why a totally rule-free school is impractical and why fewer rules would be better. Avoid repetition and use linking words to connect reasons.

Exemplo: I wouldn't want to work in a completely rule-free school because that would make classroom management and student safety difficult; however, I would prefer fewer, clearer rules to allow more flexibility and creativity in teaching.

× Yes, there are a lot of rules in my school, but many people don't obey the rules.

✓ Yes, there are a lot of rules at my school, but many people don't obey them.

Use the preposition 'at' with institutions like school and replace the repeated noun 'the rules' with the pronoun 'them' to avoid redundancy. Also prefer 'at my school' for location. Suggestion: say 'at my school' and use pronouns to avoid repetition.

× I feel like it depends on rule to rule. Maybe students would benefit, maybe, maybe they won't.

✓ I feel like it depends from rule to rule. Maybe students would benefit; maybe they wouldn't.

The idiom is 'from rule to rule' (or better 'from case to case' / 'it depends on the rule'). Use 'wouldn't' as the contracted negative of 'would'. Use a semicolon or conjunction to join related independent clauses for correct sentence structure. Suggestion: use 'it depends on the rule' or 'it depends from rule to rule' and use 'wouldn't'.

× No, I don't think I had because in the school I'm going, teachers are not, umm, very dedicated.

✓ No, I don't think I have, because at the school I go to, teachers are not very dedicated.

When talking about experience up to now, present perfect 'I have' is appropriate rather than simple past 'I had'. Use 'at the school I go to' or 'at my school' for natural word order; avoid filler 'umm'. Also remove extra commas. Suggestion: use present perfect for ongoing experiences and standard prepositional phrase 'go to school'.

× Again, as I said, it depends on rule to rule. If the rule makes sense, then yes, I do prefer to have more rules, but in general they don't make any sense. So I don't know what to choose.

✓ Again, as I said, it depends on the rule. If a rule makes sense, then yes, I prefer to have more rules, but in general they don't make any sense, so I don't know what to choose.

Use 'it depends on the rule' or 'depends from rule to rule'; include an article 'a' before 'rule makes sense'. 'I do prefer' is acceptable but 'I prefer' is more natural. Combine sentences to avoid choppy structure. Suggestion: use articles with countable nouns and smoother sentence linking.

× Yes, I had a very strict teacher a few years ago when I was in university. He was very strict and very rude professor and actually he got fired because of it.

✓ Yes, I had a very strict teacher a few years ago when I was at university. He was a very strict and very rude professor, and actually he got fired because of it.

Use 'at university' for location. Before 'professor' include the article 'a' ('a very rude professor'). Add a comma before 'and' to join clauses. Suggestion: include articles for singular countable nouns and use 'at university'.

× I feel like rule free school idea is not is not quite sustainable, but I would love to have fewer rules if I'm going to be a teacher in school.

✓ I feel like the idea of a rule-free school is not quite sustainable, but I would love to have fewer rules if I became a teacher at a school.

Add the definite article 'the' and hyphenate 'rule-free' as a compound adjective. Remove duplicate 'is not'. For the conditional about a future career, use 'if I became a teacher' (polite hypothetical) or 'if I am going to be a teacher' consistently; 'became' fits spoken hypothetical better. Use 'at a school' or 'at school' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: include articles, hyphenate compound adjectives, avoid repetition, and keep conditional verb tense consistent.
