How did you learn to be polite as a child?
Score: 54.0Suggestion: Improve grammar, sentence structure and clarity. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then add one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Correct verb forms (e.g., "I learned"), use singular/plural and articles correctly, and avoid repetition. Also give a concrete example (e.g., a specific lesson from a teacher or family member) to make your answer more vivid.
Example: I learned to be polite mostly from my teachers and family. For example, my teacher taught us to say "please" and "thank you," and my parents showed me how to listen respectfully when others speak. As a result, I try to use polite language and pay attention to people's feelings when I communicate.
Do you think being polite is very important?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Make the answer more concise and correct word choice and grammar. Begin with a direct opinion sentence, then give two clear reasons with linking words (for example, "because" or "so"). Replace incorrect phrases (e.g., "highly cooperate societies") with accurate ones ("highly cooperative societies" or "societies that value cooperation"). Avoid filler words like "uh." Add a brief specific example to support your point.
Example: Yes, I think being polite is very important. Because we live in cooperative societies, polite behavior helps build trust and lasting relationships. For example, when I politely ask for help at work, colleagues are more willing to assist me, which makes teamwork smoother.
× I don't be polite mainly from my teachers, so I think there's different aspect of how to be polite.
✓ I didn't learn to be polite mainly from my teachers, so I think there are different aspects of how to be polite.
The original sentence has multiple issues. 'I don't be polite' is ungrammatical; the speaker means past learning so use past tense 'didn't learn'. 'There's different aspect' is incorrect: 'there's' (there is) mismatches the plural 'different aspects', so use 'there are different aspects'. Also 'aspect' should be plural to match 'different'. Overall, use past tense for learning and ensure subject-verb agreement with 'there are'. Suggestion: use 'I didn't learn... from my teachers' and 'there are different aspects'.
× But the most important thing is how to communicate.
✓ But the most important thing is how to communicate.
This sentence is grammatically correct. 'How to communicate' is an appropriate infinitive phrase functioning as a noun complement after 'is'. No correction needed. (Included to show it was checked.)
× Instead of being defence about your own opinions, we trying to express our emotion and be more involved and.
✓ Instead of being defensive about your own opinions, we try to express our emotions and be more involved.
Problems: 'being defence' uses wrong word form; the adjective 'defensive' is required. 'We trying' lacks auxiliary or correct form; in present general statement use simple present 'we try'. 'Express our emotion' should be plural 'emotions'. The final 'and.' was incomplete; remove trailing conjunction. Suggestion: use adjective forms and correct verb agreement for simple present generalizations.
× Yeah, it's definitely important as we live in the highly cooperate societies.
✓ Yeah, it's definitely important as we live in highly cooperative societies.
'Highly cooperate societies' uses the base verb 'cooperate' where an adjective is required; use 'cooperative'. Also 'the' before 'highly' is unnecessary when speaking generally about societies, so omit 'the'. Maintain present simple 'we live' is correct.
× Being polite can build up a strong connection with others.
✓ Being polite can build strong connections with others.
'Build up a strong connection' is not wrong but sounds singular while 'others' implies multiple relationships; it's more natural to use the plural 'connections'. Also 'build up' can be simplified to 'build'. Suggest using plural to match 'others'.
× And also it will help you to find and, uh, make a new friends and, uh, get a lot of help from them.
✓ It will also help you find and make new friends and get a lot of help from them.
Errors: 'make a new friends' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'friends'; remove 'a' and use 'make new friends'. 'And also' is redundant; use 'also' or place 'also' after subject. 'Help you to find' can omit 'to' in this structure ('help you find'). Clean up filler 'uh' for clarity. Suggest: 'It will also help you find and make new friends and get a lot of help from them.'
