Rules— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence. Reduce hesitation and filler words (umm, uh). Provide one specific example of a rule from your school to support your point, using a linking word (for example, for instance) to connect details.

Ví dụ: Yes. At my university there are few strict rules, but my secondary school had many rules. For example, students were not allowed to use mobile phones during class, which helped reduce distractions and improve concentration.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear opinion and then give a specific reason and a concrete example. Avoid vague language like 'somehow' and finish your supporting sentence to make it coherent. Use a linking word such as 'because' or 'for example'.

Ví dụ: Yes, I do think students would benefit from some additional rules because rules can teach responsibility and punctuality. For example, at my secondary school students had a strict uniform policy which encouraged discipline and a sense of belonging.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence identifying the teacher, then provide two specific ways she was dedicated (e.g., stayed after class, used interesting materials). Eliminate repetitions and finish your supporting details. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for instance.'

Ví dụ: Yes. My high school geography teacher was very dedicated because she stayed after school to help students and used real-life examples to make lessons engaging. For instance, she organized field trips to local sites which inspired my interest in the subject.

Gợi ý: State your preference clearly, then give a specific reason and one concrete example. Avoid incomplete sentences and fillers. Use linking words such as 'because' and 'for example' and limit answers to three to four sentences.

Ví dụ: I prefer fewer rules because excessive rules can limit students' independence and creativity. For example, my school prohibited students from eating outside while wearing uniforms, which seemed unnecessary and restricted small freedoms.

Gợi ý: Confirm briefly whether you had a strict teacher and then give specific examples of her strictness (e.g., deadlines, homework checks). Explain how the strictness affected you, using linking words like 'as a result' or 'therefore.' Avoid trailing off.

Ví dụ: Yes. My geography teacher was strict; she expected punctual homework submission and checked our notebooks every week. As a result, I developed better time management and study habits.

Gợi ý: Give a clear direct answer (yes/no) then support it with two specific reasons. Avoid contradictions and fillers; finish your thoughts. Use linking words like 'because' and 'however' to structure your response.

Ví dụ: No, I would not. Although I prefer fewer rules myself, I believe students need some rules because many are still immature and rules help maintain order and safety. However, I would support a school with flexible, reasonable rules that encourage responsibility.

× Umm, I think because now I'm a masters student, so my university didn't have much rules to uh, restrict our students.

✓ Umm, I think because now I'm a master's student, so my university doesn't have many rules to restrict our students.

Mixed tenses and number: 'now I'm' requires present tense 'doesn't have' not past 'didn't have'. Also 'masters' should be possessive 'master's' and 'much rules' is incorrect; use 'many rules' for countable noun 'rules'. Suggestion: keep present tense consistency and use correct article/possessive and quantifier for countable nouns.

× But I recall my uh, secondary school there do a lot of rules to uh, to, to, to help our student have.

✓ But I recall my secondary school had a lot of rules to help students.

Subject-verb agreement and pronoun/number: 'school there do' is incorrect; use past tense 'had' for recalled past event. 'our student have' is wrong number and verb; use plural 'students' and remove unnecessary verb 'have'. Suggestion: match tense to 'recall' referring to past and use plural nouns when speaking generally.

× Yes, certainly I think our students somehow need some rules to become better and have a a better mindset of how to become a better person in the society.

✓ Yes, certainly I think our students need some rules to become better and have a better mindset about how to be better people in society.

Awkward phrasing and article use: 'somehow' is unnecessary and weakens sentence; 'a a' is typo; 'in the society' should be 'in society' without 'the'. Use plural 'people' to match 'students'. Suggestion: remove filler words, correct articles, and ensure plural agreement.

× Because I recall my school, my secondary school, there are some rules like they forbid.

✓ Because I recall my secondary school, there were some rules, for example they forbade certain things.

Tense and 'there are' usage: when recalling past, use past tense 'there were'. 'they forbid' should be past 'they forbade' or more specific. Suggestion: use past tense consistently when describing past situations and complete the example.

× Yes, umm, when I'm still studying in my high school, my geography teachers, my, uh, dedicated teacher, because I think, uh, she really inspired me a lot by her uh, attitude of teaching and her responsibility of really want to.

✓ Yes, umm, when I was still studying in high school, my geography teacher was very dedicated; she inspired me a lot by her teaching attitude and sense of responsibility.

Tense and agreement: 'when I'm still studying' should be past 'when I was still studying'. 'teachers' vs 'teacher' inconsistency—use singular 'teacher'. Sentence fragment 'really want to' is incomplete. Suggestion: use past tense for past events, ensure subject-verb agreement, and finish ideas clearly.

× So in my case, I prefer less ruse because somehow I think the rules will restrict students from a lot of freedom, which is not really makes sense.

✓ So in my case, I prefer fewer rules because I think the rules will restrict students' freedom, which doesn't really make sense.

Countable plural and article/word form: 'less ruse' incorrect—use 'fewer rules' for countable nouns. 'a lot of freedom' is acceptable but 'students' freedom' is more natural. 'which is not really makes sense' mixes forms; use 'which doesn't really make sense'. Suggestion: use 'fewer' with countable nouns and correct verb forms.

× Like, uh, our school forbidden students who eat outside the street when they're wearing the school uniform.

✓ For example, our school forbade students from eating in the street while wearing the school uniform.

Verb form and preposition: 'forbidden' should be past 'forbade' (or 'forbids' if present). Use 'forbade students from eating' or 'forbids students from eating'. Preposition 'outside the street' is incorrect; use 'in the street' or 'on the street'. Suggestion: choose correct verb tense and proper prepositions for location.

× And I think this is quite.

✓ And I think this is quite strict/unreasonable.

Sentence fragment: 'quite' needs an adjective to complete the thought. Suggestion: add appropriate adjective to convey the opinion.

× Yes, as mentioned, uh, my dedicated teacher is my geography teacher, but also she is a very strict teacher, which, uh, we require us to do our work punctually and, uh, do our work good because.

✓ Yes, as mentioned, my dedicated teacher was my geography teacher, and she was very strict; she required us to do our work punctually and to do our work well.

Tense and form: use past tense 'was' and 'required' for past events. 'we require us' is wrong pronoun/voice; teacher required us, not we require ourselves. 'do our work good' should be 'do our work well' (adverb). Suggestion: use correct past tense, correct subject for verbs, and use adverbs to modify verbs.

× Umm, I don't think so, although I prefer last fruit in our school.

✓ Umm, I don't think so, although I prefer less rules in our school.

Word choice and modality: 'last fruit' is incorrect; intended 'less rules' or better 'fewer rules'. Modal 'don't think so' is fine. Suggestion: use correct quantifier 'fewer' for countable nouns; 'less' commonly used with uncountable, but 'fewer rules' is preferred.

× But I think it's so hard for me to handle the student without rules because I think student, uh, somehow they are in mature state and they need rules to uh, learn.

✓ But I think it's very hard for me to handle students without rules because students are somewhat immature and they need rules to learn.

Plural and article use: 'the student' vs 'students' inconsistent; use plural 'students'. 'in mature state' should be 'immature' or 'in an immature state'. Remove repeated 'I think'. Suggestion: simplify structure, use correct adjectives and plural nouns.

× But if uh, a rule.

✓ But if there were no rules, it would be chaotic.

Incomplete sentence: fragment 'But if uh, a rule.' lacks clause and consequence. Suggestion: complete conditional sentence to express idea clearly, e.g. 'If there were no rules, ...'.
