× there are different kind of rules when I was elementary high school to college, they have a lot of rules and regulations that students needs to follow just like for example, having to uh, need to use a uniform every uh, Sunday to or Monday to Friday, uh.
✓ There are different kinds of rules from elementary school to college; they have a lot of rules and regulations that students need to follow, for example, having to wear a uniform from Monday to Friday.
The sentence has pluralization errors: 'different kind' should be 'different kinds' (plural noun after 'different'), 'elementary high school to college' is unclear and should be 'from elementary school to college', and 'students needs' should be 'students need' to agree in number (subject-verb agreement). Also 'use a uniform' is unnatural; 'wear a uniform' is correct. Suggestions: use plural nouns when appropriate, ensure verb agrees with plural subject, and use standard prepositional phrases for ranges ('from... to...').
× Yes, I think that students would benefit more from more rules because it it provides a sense of unity and the responsibility for students who have a goal.
✓ Yes, I think that students would benefit from more rules because they provide a sense of unity and responsibility for students who have goals.
The original mixes conditional/modal 'would' with present-tense descriptions and repeats 'it'. Use consistent present tense 'provide' to describe a general truth. 'It provides' is incorrect because the subject is 'rules' (plural), so use 'they provide'. Also 'a goal' should be plural or unspecified: 'goals' or 'a goal' depending on meaning. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and match pronoun number to its antecedent.
× Unlike when there's no rule it become chaotic and the situation.
✓ When there are no rules, it becomes chaotic.
The sentence is awkward and ungrammatical: 'Unlike when there's no rule' is an incorrect clause and 'it become' lacks subject-verb agreement and correct tense. 'the situation' is unnecessary. Suggestion: simplify to a clear independent clause, ensure plural 'rules' and verb agreement 'becomes'.
× Yes, when I was an elementary student, I had a teacher, which is my mom, uh, I've known her as a very dedicated teacher because she uses her personal money just to provide for her children for better education and.
✓ Yes, when I was in elementary school, my teacher was my mom; I know her as a very dedicated teacher because she used her personal money to provide a better education for her children.
Problems: 'which' is incorrect for people; use 'who' or restructure. 'I had a teacher, which is my mom' should be 'my teacher was my mom.' Tense inconsistency: 'I've known' and 'she uses' should be past tense 'I knew'/'I know' depending, but describing past actions requires past: 'she used her personal money.' Also 'provide for her children for better education' is awkward; 'to provide a better education for her children' is clearer. Suggestion: use correct relative pronouns for people, maintain consistent past tense when describing past events, and use natural verb patterns.
× Yes, I prefer more rules at school as long as it is aven beneficial for student as well as the parents of the students.
✓ Yes, I prefer more rules at school as long as they are even beneficial for students as well as the parents.
Errors: 'it is aven beneficial' has typo 'aven' and wrong pronoun 'it' for plural 'rules' — use 'they are even beneficial'. 'student' should be plural 'students'. 'the parents of the students' is wordy; 'the parents' suffices. Suggestion: match pronouns to plural nouns and use correct plurals and spelling.
× Some rules are not really helpful for students. Just like buying a electric fan just for the sake of a project.
✓ Some rules are not really helpful for students, such as requiring the purchase of an electric fan just for the sake of a project.
Fragment: 'Just like buying a electric fan...' is a sentence fragment and 'a electric' should be 'an electric' (article before vowel sound). Suggestion: combine into one sentence, use 'such as' to introduce example, and use 'an' before 'electric'.
× Yes, back then I had a strict teacher when I was a grade 6. She was a senior teacher aged around 69 years old and she's really strict whenever she provides an assignment or a recitation.
✓ Yes, back then I had a strict teacher when I was in grade 6. She was a senior teacher, about 69 years old, and she was really strict whenever she gave assignments or called on students to recite.
Tense inconsistency: describing past events should use past tense ('she's really strict' -> 'she was really strict', 'provides an assignment' -> 'gave assignments'). 'When I was a grade 6' should be 'when I was in grade 6'. Also 'aged around 69 years old' is wordy; 'about 69 years old' is natural. Suggestion: keep past tense for past descriptions and use natural collocations ('give assignments', 'call on students to recite').
× Personally, I don't really want to be a teacher, but for this question, uh, maybe I will be a teacher. And uh, I don't really like to be a teacher in the rural free school because, uh, the students there would be chaotic and that there is no, uh, regulations to follow since it has no rules.
✓ Personally, I don't really want to be a teacher, but for this question I might be. I wouldn't like to be a teacher in a rule-free school because the students there would be chaotic and there would be no regulations to follow since it has no rules.
Errors: 'rural free school' is incorrect; the intended phrase is 'rule-free school'. Article and noun agreement: 'no, uh, regulations' should be 'no regulations' and tense/modal consistency: use 'would' or 'might' consistently. 'that there is no, uh, regulations' mixes singular/plural; use 'there would be no regulations'. Suggestion: use correct compound adjective 'rule-free', remove unnecessary filler, and ensure subject-verb agreement and consistent modal usage.
