Hello everyone. I've just registered and need some help. I've translated our school rules and need a proof check. Could you please read them and post your comments.
Thanks in advance.

I come to class on time.
I move around safely inside and outside. (actually I wanted to write "I walk (instead of running) in the school" but it doesn't seem ok)
I solve my problems by talking and I do not harm my friends.
I talk in my turn.
I use the materials mindfully and sparingly.
I keep my environment clean.

I talk in my turn.


NOT A TEACHER


(1) Of course, I am not saying that your sentence is wrong. I do not know.

(2) It is only my opinion that "I talk in my turn" sounds strange.

I should prefer:

I wait for my turn to talk. / I talk when it is my turn.

I agree with TheParser's emendation and would add that they would sound more natural if they began I will or I must.
