Politeness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and relevant, but it is slightly long and repetitive in places. To improve, make your opening sentence more direct, reduce redundancy, and add one specific brief detail showing how your parents taught politeness (for example, a particular phrase or routine). Use a linking word to connect the example to the main point. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: My parents taught me to be polite from a young age. For example, they always encouraged saying “please” and “thank you,” and when my sister and I fought over a toy they made me apologize properly. Because of these consistent routines, politeness felt like a natural habit.

Suggestion: Your answer directly addresses the question and gives two reasons, which is good. To improve further, combine the two ideas into a more concise response, use a linking word such as “because” or “so,” and give one brief specific example (e.g., at work or with friends) to make it more concrete and convincing.

Example: Yes, being polite is important because it shows we consider others’ feelings and helps build trust. For instance, at work polite communication makes colleagues more willing to cooperate, which improves teamwork.

× I learned how to be polite through my parents.

✓ I learned to be polite from my parents.

Using 'learned how to be polite' is not incorrect but 'learned to be polite' is more natural. The preposition 'through' is acceptable but 'from' better indicates source; this is an adjective/adverb/word-choice style improvement. Suggest using 'learned to be polite from my parents' for clearer, more natural phrasing.

× It was one of the first habits they instilled in me as a child.

✓ It was one of the first habits they instilled in me when I was a child.

The original sentence is mostly correct but 'as a child' can be ambiguous; 'when I was a child' clarifies the time reference. This is a past tense/time-reference refinement to match the rest of the past narrative.

× At first, I didn't really understand it because after all, I was young.

✓ At first, I didn't really understand it because, after all, I was young.

The sentence is grammatically fine; the correction adds a comma after 'because' for clarity. Identified as a present/past tense context issue to ensure tense consistency across the narrative.

× However, later on when my sister and I fought over a toy, they demonstrated being polite by asking me to apologize to her properly.

✓ However, later on, when my sister and I fought over a toy, they showed politeness by asking me to apologize to her properly.

'Replacing 'demonstrated being polite' with 'showed politeness' is more natural. 'Demonstrated being polite' is awkward; use a noun form ('politeness') or a clearer verb ('showed'). Also add commas for clarity. This falls under adjective/adverb/word-choice corrections.

× Definitely, I believe being polite shows we are considerate towards other peoples feelings.

✓ Definitely, I believe being polite shows we are considerate towards other people's feelings.

The error is a missing apostrophe in 'people's' indicating possession. This is an article/possessive punctuation issue; use 'people's' to show 'feelings of people.' Also 'towards' is acceptable; 'toward' is an alternative.

× Additionally, it also helps the people around us to trust and like us because of our kind habits.

✓ Additionally, it helps the people around us trust and like us because of our kind habits.

Remove the redundant 'also' or 'it' to avoid awkwardness; using both 'Additionally' and 'also' is repetitive. This is a pronoun/word-choice clarity issue. Also, 'helps the people around us trust and like us' is more concise and natural. Suggest removing redundancy for smoother English.
