Rules— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence directly answering the question, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use correct tense and avoid redundant phrases.

Exemplo: Yes, there were many rules at my school. For example, we had to stay completely silent during class, which I found difficult as a child because I used to talk a lot with friends.

Sugestão: Give a direct opinion and support it with a clear reason and example. Use linking words (e.g., however, on the other hand, therefore) and correct subject-verb agreement.

Exemplo: I think it depends on the students. For younger or new students, more rules can help them learn routines; however, older students may rebel. Over time most students realise rules help maintain order and focus.

Sugestão: Be precise and avoid hesitations. Provide concise relevant details: teacher's qualities and one example that shows dedication. Use correct vocabulary (e.g., 'DELF/DALF' rather than 'deaf exam') and correct tense.

Exemplo: Yes. When I learned French recently, my teacher Nardana was very dedicated. She is fluent, has passed the DALF C2 exam, and has taught for almost 20 years; she often stayed after class to help struggling students.

Sugestão: Answer directly and clearly. State preference, give one or two reasons using linking words, and avoid vague phrases. Clarify what you mean by 'barriers' or 'backbencher'.

Exemplo: I prefer fewer rules because I learn better with more freedom. However, some basic rules are useful to prevent distractions so I can focus on the most important lessons.

Sugestão: Avoid vague or exaggerated language. Give a clear, polite description of strictness and one specific example of her behaviour. Use complete sentences and correct expressions.

Exemplo: Yes. My eighth-grade English teacher, Kavitha, was very strict. For example, if a student was noisy she would reprimand the whole class and give extra homework to make sure we improved.

Sugestão: Give a clear direct answer and two concise reasons. Avoid filler words and correct grammar (e.g., 'teacher characteristics' -> 'teaching qualities'). Mention a plan to improve if relevant.

Exemplo: No, I would not. I don't think I have the necessary teaching qualities, especially strong listening skills. Although I am working on improving them at my current job, I don't feel ready to teach in a rule-free environment.

× Yes, there are quite innumerable number of rules were there in my school.

✓ Yes, there were quite an innumerable number of rules at my school.

The original mixes tense and word choice. 'There are... were there' is inconsistent; use past tense 'there were' to match talking about school. 'Innumerable' already implies 'number', so 'number of' is acceptable but usually 'an innumerable number' or simply 'innumerable rules' is clearer. Also change 'in my school' word order to 'at my school'. Suggestion: say 'There were innumerable rules at my school' or 'There were quite a number of rules at my school.'

× One of the hardest rules is to be silent during the class hours, as when I was a children.

✓ One of the hardest rules was to be silent during class hours, as when I was a child.

Pronoun/noun number error: 'children' is plural but refers to the speaker as one person; use 'child'. Also adjust tense to past 'was' to match past context and remove the article 'the' before 'class hours'. Suggestion: '...as I was a child.'

× It's when I was a child, it's hard to be silent because I used to make a much noise, especially you know, a last Pinscher is being a notorious kid.

✓ When I was a child it was hard to be quiet because I used to make a lot of noise; for example, I was a notoriously mischievous kid.

Multiple issues: tense consistency (use past 'was'), wrong quantifier 'much noise' should be 'a lot of noise' or 'much noise' without 'a' in negative contexts, and the phrase 'a last Pinscher' is unclear; likely meaning 'I was a notorious kid' or 'a little rascal'. Replace with clear phrasing. Suggestion: 'I used to make a lot of noise; I was a notoriously mischievous kid.'

× I always make sense. So it's it was hard for me.

✓ I was always noisy, so it was hard for me.

Original 'I always make sense' is semantically incorrect in context; likely intended 'I always made noise' or 'I was always noisy'. Also remove duplicate tense markers 'it's it was' and keep past tense 'was'. Suggestion: 'I was always noisy, so it was hard for me.'

× Umm, in the initial stage it's depends on the students.

✓ Umm, in the initial stage it depends on the students.

Subject-verb construction: 'it's depends' mixes contraction 'it's' (it is) with 'depends'; correct is 'it depends'. Also 'in the initial stage' fits present tense. Suggestion: 'In the initial stage, it depends on the students.'

× If it is a first venture, for sure they would understand it's for a good cause and if it is our last major they won't listen at all.

✓ If it is a first venture, they will surely understand it is for a good cause; but if it is our final year they may not listen at all.

Article and modal issues: 'a first venture' is okay but 'for sure they would' is awkward; use 'they will surely'. 'It's for a good cause' should be 'it is for a good cause'. 'Last major' is unclear—likely 'final year'. Also use consistent modals: 'may not' or 'will not' depending on meaning. Suggestion: choose 'they will surely understand... but if it is our final year they may not listen.'

× And years later they would understand the they would understand at a point that the rules are meant for something to bring a good cause.

✓ Years later they would understand at some point that the rules are meant to achieve a good purpose.

Redundant 'the they would understand' and awkward phrasing 'meant for something to bring a good cause'. Simplify to 'understand at some point that the rules are meant to achieve a good purpose.' Suggestion: 'Years later they would understand that the rules are meant to achieve a good purpose.'

× Yes, uh, during my French learning, which I did recently, uh, I have AI had a dedicated teacher.

✓ Yes, during my recent French studies I had a dedicated teacher.

Tense and extraneous words: 'I have AI had' is garbled; use simple past 'had' for the completed action. 'French learning' is better as 'French studies'. Suggestion: 'During my recent French studies, I had a dedicated teacher.'

× Her name was, uh, Nardana. She is well coordinated and uh, you know, she is very fluent in uh, French as she completed C2 level in the deaf exam and she's been teaching for almost 20 years.

✓ Her name was Nardana. She was well organized and very fluent in French; she had completed the C2 level in the DELF/DALF exam and had been teaching for almost 20 years.

Tense consistency: speaking about a past teacher, use past tense 'was' and 'had completed' and 'had been teaching'. 'Well coordinated' is incorrect collocation; 'well organized' or 'well coordinated' doesn't fit—use 'well organized' or 'a good communicator'. 'deaf exam' is likely a mispronunciation of 'DELF' or 'DALF' (French proficiency exams). Suggestion: confirm correct exam name (DELF/DALF).

× As a backbencher I always read with no rules at all or maybe less rules would be little convenient because sometimes I have to learn new things and that should be some barriers also so that I will understand what are the things that I need to focus on.

✓ As a backbencher I prefer fewer rules because sometimes I need freedom to learn new things, though some rules can help me understand what I need to focus on.

Pronoun and article issues and awkward structure: 'read with no rules' is unclear—'prefer no rules' or 'prefer fewer rules'. 'Less rules' should be 'fewer rules' (countable noun). 'Would be little convenient' awkward—use 'would be more convenient' or 'prefer fewer rules'. 'Should be some barriers also' is unclear; rephrase to 'some rules can help'. Use present tense for general preference. Suggestion: 'I prefer fewer rules because... though some rules can help me focus.'

× Yes, I heard many. One noticeable teacher is uh, Kavitha.

✓ Yes, I had many teachers. One notable teacher was Kavitha.

'I heard many' is incorrect; should be 'I had many' or 'I knew many'. 'One noticeable teacher is' should match past context: 'was' and 'notable' instead of 'noticeable'. Suggestion: 'I had many teachers; one notable teacher was Kavitha.'

× She was my English teacher during 8th grade.

✓ She was my English teacher in eighth grade.

Use 'in eighth grade' rather than 'during 8th grade'. Spell out ordinal number in formal speech. Tense 'was' is correct. Suggestion: 'She was my English teacher in eighth grade.'

× She was really uh, a strict and uh, notorious teacher uh, whenever a student makes a mistake, they are dead because she will bring a lot of.

✓ She was a very strict and stern teacher; whenever a student made a mistake, she would punish them severely.

'Notorious' can be used but 'stern' or 'strict' is clearer. Tense consistency: use past 'made' and 'would punish'. 'They are dead' is inappropriate and unclear; replace with 'she would punish them severely' or 'she would scold them severely'. The sentence is incomplete 'bring a lot of'—complete idea. Suggestion: 'She was a very strict teacher; whenever a student made a mistake, she would scold or punish them severely.'

× Umm, I don't think so because I don't have the teachers characteristics within myself.

✓ Umm, I don't think so because I don't have the characteristics of a teacher within myself.

Word order and article: 'teachers characteristics' needs possessive or 'characteristics of a teacher'. 'Within myself' is acceptable but 'in me' is more natural. Suggestion: 'I don't have the characteristics of a teacher.'

× To be a good teacher, you should have a good, uh, listening skills.

✓ To be a good teacher, you should have good listening skills.

Article mismatch: 'a good listening skills' is incorrect because 'skills' is plural; remove 'a'. Suggestion: 'you should have good listening skills.'

× Even in my job I won't have that, uh, active listening skills.

✓ Even in my current job I don't have strong active listening skills.

Using 'won't have' suggests future lack; speaker likely means present lack. Change to present 'don't have'. Also 'active listening skills' is fine; add 'strong' for clarity. Suggestion: 'I don't have strong active listening skills in my current job.'

× And my manager used to scold me and uh, I'm trying to improve day by day.

✓ My manager used to scold me, and I'm trying to improve day by day.

Insert comma and maintain tenses: 'used to scold me' (past habit) followed by present progressive 'I'm trying' is acceptable. No major grammar change except punctuation. Suggestion: 'My manager used to scold me, and I'm trying to improve every day.'
