Rules— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise, fluent and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific detail. Avoid filler sounds and split sentences correctly. Use linking words for clarity.

Exemplo: Yes. At Windville Kent University we have strict attendance rules: students must attend at least 90% of classes. For example, missing more than the allowed percentage can affect your final grade, so most students try to attend regularly.

Sugestão: Organise your opinion with a clear statement and support it with a reason and brief example. Reduce hesitations and correct grammar (e.g., 'rules' not 'law'). Use linking words like 'because' or 'however'.

Exemplo: I don't think more rules would be beneficial because they limit students' independence. For instance, stricter regulations might stop students from developing decision-making skills, although some basic rules are necessary for safety.

Sugestão: Answer directly and provide a clear supporting detail. Avoid vague or colloquial phrases like 'acting like crazy'—use precise descriptions of dedication. Keep to two or three sentences and remove fillers.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a very dedicated teacher called Salihah. She regularly stayed after class to help students, prepared extra materials, and motivated us to improve, which made a big difference in my studies.

Sugestão: Give a clear preference and support it with one specific reason. Avoid ambiguous or inappropriate comments; clarify what you mean by 'drinking alcohol'—likely 'designated areas for eating or drinking'. Use linking words like 'however' to add suggestions.

Exemplo: I prefer to keep the current number of rules because they maintain order. However, I would suggest improving designated areas for eating and drinking, because having only one small space causes crowding during breaks.

Sugestão: Be concise and use neutral, clear language to describe the experience. Start with a direct answer, then give one specific effect and a reason. Avoid repetitive phrases and emotional exaggeration.

Exemplo: Yes, I had a very strict teacher whose harsh tone made me feel distant and less motivated. As a result, I sometimes avoided her classes, which negatively affected my learning until I spoke with a counselor about it.

Sugestão: Give a clear, fluent reason and one brief supporting detail. Use correct collocations (e.g., 'hard to manage', 'cope with it') and avoid informal self-evaluations like 'I'm not strong that much.'

Exemplo: No, I wouldn't. Without rules the school would be chaotic and difficult to manage, so I don't think I could maintain an effective learning environment in such conditions.

× Attendance and it's a must thing you require to come 90%.

✓ Attendance is mandatory; you are required to attend at least 90%.

Incorrect or missing articles and awkward phrasing: 'Attendance and it's a must thing' is ungrammatical. Use the definite noun phrase 'Attendance is mandatory' and 'you are required to attend' clarifies the requirement. Also specify 'at least 90%' for clarity.

× Personally, I don't think students like having UH rules because it's a law it doesn't allow them to. Act free and feel independent, so I know.

✓ Personally, I don't think students like having rules because they feel laws do not allow them to act freely and feel independent.

Subject-verb agreement and sentence structure: 'because it's a law it doesn't allow them to' mixes singular 'it' with plural 'students' and fragments the sentence. Replace with 'they feel laws do not allow them' and correct verb forms 'act freely' (adverb) and combine into one sentence.

× Uh, yes, I had teachers who, who was so dedicated.

✓ Yes, I had teachers who were very dedicated.

Subject-verb agreement: 'teachers' is plural and requires 'were' not 'was'. Also simplify repetition and use 'very dedicated' for natural phrasing.

× Uh, she, her name was Salihah and she was my upper uh, teacher and she was acting like crazy, I think.

✓ Her name was Salihah and she was my senior teacher; she behaved quite strangely, I think.

Pronoun misuse and awkward phrases: 'she, her name' duplicates pronouns. Use 'Her name was' once. 'Upper teacher' is incorrect — use 'senior teacher'. 'Acting like crazy' is informal and ungrammatical; 'behaved quite strangely' is clearer.

× I think it's enough to have this much, uh, rules at school.

✓ I think it's enough to have this many rules at school.

Article/quantifier error: 'this much rules' is ungrammatical because 'much' is for uncountable nouns. Use 'this many rules' for countable plural 'rules'.

× Uh, the only thing that I want to add is drinking alcohol because like umm, in our school there is only one area to drink.

✓ The only thing I would change is the policy on drinking alcohol, because at our school there is only one area where you can drink.

Preposition and phrasing: 'area to drink' is awkward; use 'area where you can drink' and 'in our school' should be 'at our school' for locations. Also use 'policy on' for clarity.

× That's a tough question. I did and she her actions made me feel more cold and I didn't even listen and I didn't even attend her classes because she was acting so bad to us.

✓ That's a tough question. I did; her actions made me feel distant and I stopped attending her classes because she treated us very poorly.

Pronoun and adjective/adverb errors: 'she her actions' duplicates pronouns. 'Feel more cold' is unnatural — use 'feel distant' or 'feel cold toward her'. 'Acting so bad to us' should be 'treated us very poorly'; use adverb/adjective correctly.

× No, because if the school has no rules, it will be so crowded and the things are managed hard to manage.

✓ No, because if a school had no rules, it would be very chaotic and things would be hard to manage.

Tense and modal consistency: The conditional should use past tense in the if-clause for a hypothetical: 'if a school had no rules, it would...' Also 'crowded' implies people density; 'chaotic' fits better. 'Hard to manage' needs auxiliary 'would be hard to manage'.

× I don't think I can cope with that. I'm not strong that much.

✓ I don't think I could cope with that. I'm not that strong.

Modal and pronoun/pronunciation phrasing: 'I'm not strong that much' is unidiomatic. Use 'I'm not that strong.' Also match modal to hypothetical: 'could' rather than 'can' aligns with previous conditional.
