Are there any rules for students at your school?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: Your answer is too brief and slightly unclear. Try to respond directly with a clear topic sentence and provide specific details. Also, avoid vague pronouns like 'they' without clear reference. For example, mention the specific rule and explain why it exists or how it affects students.
Ví dụ: Yes, there are several rules at my school. For instance, students must wear a uniform every day to promote discipline and unity among us.
Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Your answer does not address the question properly and the supporting detail is irrelevant. Make sure to answer the question directly and provide relevant reasons or examples. Use linking words to connect your ideas logically.
Ví dụ: I don't think students would benefit from more rules because too many regulations can make the school environment stressful and limit students' freedom to express themselves.
Do you have a teacher who does his or her job very well?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: Your answer is generally clear but could be improved by using present tense if the teacher is still teaching, and by adding more specific details about why she is good. Also, use linking words to connect your ideas.
Ví dụ: Yes, I have an English teacher who does her job very well. She is very dedicated and always prepares interesting lessons that help us improve our language skills.
× They are not allowed to come to school without uniform.
✓ They are not allowed to come to school without a uniform.
The sentence is missing the article 'a' before 'uniform'. In English, singular countable nouns usually require an article. Here, 'uniform' is a singular countable noun, so 'a uniform' is correct.
× I don't really think so because there are already many books in our school.
✓ I don't really think so because there are already many rules in our school.
The student's answer does not logically respond to the question about rules; 'books' is incorrect in this context. The correct quantifier 'many' is used, but the noun should be 'rules' to match the question's context.
× Yes, we did, and it's our English teacher.
✓ Yes, we do, and it's our English teacher.
The question is in present tense ('Do you have'), so the answer should also be in present tense. Using 'did' (past tense) is incorrect here; 'do' is the correct auxiliary verb for present tense.
× She really put her effort in her work.
✓ She really put her effort into her work.
The correct preposition to use with 'put effort' is 'into', not 'in'. 'Put effort into' means to invest effort towards something.
