Are there any rules for students at your school?

Do you think students would benefit more from more rules?

Have you ever had a really dedicated teacher?
Điểm: 40.0Gợi ý: Clarify meaning and avoid repetition. 'Dedicated' usually implies committed and caring, but your description sounds like 'strict'. Be consistent: if teacher was dedicated, give examples of dedication (extra help, enthusiasm). Use correct verbs and grammar.

× Yes, we have several roles in my school in Algeria.
✓ Yes, we have several rules in my school in Algeria.
The student wrote 'roles' but meant 'rules'. This is a word choice error rather than an article error, however within the provided list the closest applicable category is 'Article errors' because a wrong noun form was used. Suggestion: use the correct noun 'rules' when referring to regulations; check meaning when similar words appear.
× For example, we have specific clothes and specific time to enter to a school.
✓ For example, we have specific clothes and a specific time to enter the school.
Preposition 'to' after 'enter' is unnecessary here and the definite article for a particular school context is required. Also 'specific time' needs the article 'a'. Suggestion: use 'enter the school' or 'enter school' without extra 'to', and include articles when referring to 'a specific time'.
× And you should not use your phone in in university and you should respect all the student.
✓ And you should not use your phone at university, and you should respect all the students.
Preposition 'in' was duplicated and 'at university' is the correct collocation in this context. 'Student' must be plural to match 'all'. Suggestion: use 'at university' and ensure noun number matches quantifiers like 'all'.
× Yes, because it make them very stress strict.
✓ Yes, because it makes them very stressed and strict.
Subject-verb agreement: 'make' should be 'makes' for third-person singular subject 'it'. Also adjective usage: 'stress strict' is incorrect; use 'stressed' (adjective) and 'strict' separately. Suggestion: use correct verb forms for 'it' and choose appropriate adjectives.
× Also this kind of rules for example in clothes and in in bending phone.
✓ Also this kind of rule, for example about clothing and banning phones.
Issues: 'this kind of rules' should be 'this kind of rule' or 'these kinds of rules'; 'in clothes' should be 'about clothing'; 'bending phone' is wrong word choice—should be 'banning phones'. Suggestion: use correct singular/plural with 'this kind of' and use 'banning phones' for prohibition.
× It help students to get good Marks and to live in comfortable environment at school.
✓ It helps students get good marks and live in a comfortable environment at school.
Subject-verb agreement: 'help' should be 'helps'. 'Marks' should be lowercase. Missing article before 'comfortable environment'—use 'a'. Suggestion: ensure verb agrees with subject and include articles before singular nouns.
× Yes, in in Algeria I had a dedicated teacher in the field of physics.
✓ Yes, in Algeria I had a dedicated physics teacher.
Duplicate 'in' and the phrase 'in the field of physics' is wordy; 'physics teacher' is more natural. Suggestion: remove duplicate words and prefer concise noun phrases.
× He he was very stress strict.
✓ He was very strict and strict about discipline.
Duplicate 'he'. 'stress strict' is ungrammatical; 'strict' is the adjective. If meaning was 'caused stress', rephrase. Suggestion: avoid duplications and place adverbs/adjectives correctly.
× He bent everything for the using phone and we should wear specific clothes at this field.
✓ He banned the use of phones and we had to wear specific clothes in that class.
'Bent' is incorrect; likely 'banned'. 'for the using phone' should be 'the use of phones' or 'using phones'; 'at this field' should be 'in that class' or 'for that subject'. Suggestion: use 'ban' for prohibitions and correct prepositions for location/context.
× And also he was very angry.
✓ He was also very strict and often angry.
Context suggests teacher was strict; 'angry' alone is grammatical but adding 'often' improves meaning. Suggestion: choose adjectives that match intended meaning and combine appropriately.
× I prefer to have uh more uh, more uh rules in my school because it makes students very strict and make them uh, focus in study and uh, avoid avoid laughing and uh, spending time at school without benefit.
✓ I prefer to have more rules in my school because they make students more disciplined and help them focus on their studies and avoid wasting time at school.
Subject-verb agreement: 'it makes' should be 'they make' to refer to 'rules'. 'Make them focus in study' should be 'help them focus on their studies'. 'Avoid avoid laughing' duplicated and 'spending time at school without benefit' should be 'wasting time at school'. Suggestion: ensure pronoun reference matches plural antecedent and use appropriate collocations ('focus on studies', 'waste time').
× Yes I have I have here in Malaysia strict teacher of English.
✓ Yes, I have a strict English teacher here in Malaysia.
Missing article 'a' before 'strict teacher'. Word order improved. Suggestion: include indefinite article for singular countable nouns and place location after the noun phrase.
× He he is from UK he is very serious he prefer to keep silent at all the class.
✓ He is from the UK; he is very serious and prefers the class to be silent.
Duplicate 'he'. Missing article 'the' before 'UK'. Subject-verb agreement: 'prefer' should be 'prefers'. 'Keep silent at all the class' is unnatural; use 'the class to be silent' or 'silence during the class'. Suggestion: ensure articles for country names use 'the' when needed and correct verb agreement.
× Also we should wear specific clothes and bending using phone and being on time.
✓ Also we had to wear specific clothes, were not allowed to use phones, and had to be on time.
'Bending using phone' is incorrect; 'not allowed to use phones' or 'banned from using phones' is correct. 'Being on time' should be expressed with obligation 'had to be on time'. Suggestion: use clear modal or past obligation forms and correct gerund/verb forms.
× No, actually I don't like to work as a teacher because it's very hard a job to be a teacher because you should have good and strict personality and you should also be very far and you don't make difference between students and also you should have a good personality.
✓ No, actually I don't want to work as a teacher because it's a very hard job: you should have a firm and fair personality, and you must not show favoritism between students.
Awkward and incorrect modal/phrase usage: 'you should also be very far' is incorrect—likely meant 'fair'. 'Don't make difference between students' should be 'must not show favoritism' or 'must treat students equally'. Redundant 'have a good personality' repeated. Suggestion: use precise adjectives ('firm', 'fair') and modals like 'must' for necessity; avoid repetition.
× It's hard to me.
✓ It's hard for me.
Prepositional phrase uses 'for' with 'hard': correct structure is 'hard for me'. Suggestion: use 'for' when indicating who finds something difficult or easy.
