Politeness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and clear, but you can improve by tightening grammar, removing slight redundancy, and adding a linking word to make the structure more coherent. Limit yourself to fewer sentences (max 4–5) and make the topic sentence direct. Also replace “taught on how to” with “taught me” and avoid repeating similar ideas.

Example: My parents taught me to be polite through everyday examples. For instance, they encouraged me to help elderly neighbors and always say “please” and “thank you.” As a result, these habits shaped my manners and made me more considerate.

Suggestion: Your answer expresses agreement and reasons, but speech hesitations (uh), repetition and some grammatical errors reduce clarity. Improve fluency by removing fillers, correcting phrases (e.g., “smooth in smooth in interactions” → “smooth interactions”), and using a linking word such as “because” or “for example.” Provide a concise topic sentence followed by one or two specific supporting details.

Example: Yes, I believe politeness is very important because it smooths social interactions and prevents misunderstandings. For example, saying “please” and “thank you” publicly shows respect and often leads to more positive responses from others.

× I was taught on how to be polite mainly from my parents who gave me different kinds of examples on politeness.

✓ I was taught how to be polite mainly by my parents, who gave me different examples of polite behavior.

The phrase 'taught on how to' is incorrect; use 'taught how to' (remove 'on'). Use 'by my parents' to indicate the agent in passive voice (preposition error). 'Examples on politeness' should be 'examples of polite behavior' or 'examples of politeness' for natural preposition use. Suggestion: remove unnecessary prepositions and prefer 'by' for the agent and 'of' for examples. (Grammar problem type ID: 11)

× This has helped me shape my manners and made me a better person in general.

✓ This has helped me shape my manners and has made me a better person in general.

The sentence mixes present perfect 'has helped' with simple past 'made', which creates inconsistent tense. Use present perfect for both coordinated actions ('has helped' and 'has made') to show effects continuing to the present. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent when linking results that still apply. (Grammar problem type ID: 6)

× I think being polite is very much needed for the future and can help smooth in smooth in interactions while preventing misunderstandings.

✓ I think being polite is very important for the future and can help smooth interactions while preventing misunderstandings.

The phrase 'very much needed for the future' is awkward; 'very important for the future' is more natural. The phrase 'help smooth in smooth in interactions' contains repetition and wrong preposition placement; use 'help smooth interactions' (verb + object) without 'in'. This fixes adverb/preposition placement and removes repetition. Suggestion: avoid repeating words and ensure the verb 'smooth' directly modifies 'interactions'. (Grammar problem type ID:20)

× Uh, for instance, saying please, thank you in public could, uh, increase, uh, the respect and appreciation. Appreciate.

✓ For instance, saying 'please' and 'thank you' in public could increase respect and appreciation.

The original contains disfluencies and a fragment 'Appreciate.' Remove filler words and combine 'please' and 'thank you' correctly with 'and'. Do not include the article 'the' before uncountable nouns like 'respect' when speaking generally. Also remove the sentence fragment 'Appreciate.' Suggestion: edit out fillers, join the phrases with 'and', and avoid unnecessary articles. (Grammar problem type ID:22)
