Politeness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Speak more clearly and use correct grammar. Start with a direct topic sentence (e.g., “I learned to be polite from my parents.”), then add 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words (e.g., “For example,” “They taught me to…”). Keep answers to no more than five sentences and avoid repetition. Also replace incorrect words (e.g., “police” → “politeness”, “younger than me” → “people younger than me” or simply “others”).

Example: I learned to be polite from my parents. For example, my mother always told me to say “please” and “thank you,” and my father showed me how to greet older people respectfully. Because of their guidance, I try to be considerate to others in daily life.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and support it with specific reasons. Avoid filler words (umm, uh) and incorrect phrases (e.g., “pot lights”, “main lease”). Use linking words like “because” and “therefore” to connect your ideas. Provide one or two concise reasons why politeness matters (e.g., builds relationships, creates respect) and a short example if possible.

Example: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it helps build good relationships and shows respect for others. For instance, when I speak politely to colleagues at work, they are more willing to cooperate and help me, which makes tasks easier to complete.

× To be polite in the child I learn from my dad's and my mom and my parent teach me how to be polite for the people that younger than me because they said the police is important in my life that when I be polite everyone.

✓ As a child, I learned to be polite from my dad and my mom; my parents taught me how to be polite to people younger than me because they said politeness is important in life and if I am polite, everyone will treat me well.

Errors include incorrect prepositions ('in the child' should be 'as a child'; 'for the people' should be 'to people'), incorrect possessive ('my dad's and my mom' -> 'my dad and my mom'), and several other issues (tense and word choice). Suggestion: use 'as a child' to indicate time period, use 'learned' for past tense, use 'from' to indicate source, use 'to' with 'polite' when indicating the target, and replace 'the police' with 'politeness' or 'polite' as appropriate. Break the sentence into clearer clauses and use proper punctuation.

✓ As a child, I learned to be polite from my dad and my mom; my parents taught me how to be polite to people younger than me because they said politeness is important in life and if I am polite, everyone will treat me well.

The speaker mixes present tense 'learn' and 'teach' with a past context. Use past simple 'learned' and 'taught' for completed actions in childhood. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense for actions that happened in the past.

✓ As a child, I learned to be polite from my dad and my mom; my parents taught me how to be polite to people younger than me because they said politeness is important in life and if I am polite, everyone will treat me well.

Problems with pronouns and possessives: 'my dad's and my mom' is incorrect; use 'my dad and my mom' or 'my parents'. 'my parent teach' should be plural 'my parents taught'. Maintain subject-number agreement between pronoun and verb.

× To be polite in the child I learn from my dad's and my mom and my parent teach me how to be polite for the people that younger than me because they said the police is important in my life that when I be polite everyone.

✓ As a child, I learned to be polite from my dad and my mom; my parents taught me how to be polite to people younger than me because they said politeness is important in life and if I am polite, everyone will treat me well.

The word 'the police' is misused; the intended noun is 'politeness' or the adjective 'polite'. Use correct lexical choice: 'politeness is important' or 'being polite is important'. Also 'people that younger than me' needs a comparative structure 'people younger than me'.

× because they said the police is important in my life that when I be polite everyone.

✓ because they said politeness is important in my life and when I am polite, everyone will treat me well.

'The police is' is incorrect for number and meaning. If using 'politeness', the verb must agree: 'politeness is important'. Also 'when I be polite' uses incorrect verb form for third person singular structure and present simple; use 'when I am polite'. Suggestion: ensure subject and verb agree and use correct verb forms.

× the pot lights is the main lease of the life on when we are, uh, in the pot light, Yeah, everyone will say you are good people and better people like that.

✓ Politeness is the main basis of life; when we are in the spotlight, everyone will say you are a good person and a better person for it.

Errors: 'pot lights' should be 'spotlight' or 'spotlights'; 'is' may be correct depending on noun but original phrase unclear. 'you are good people' mixes singular/plural; if addressing one person use 'a good person'. Suggestion: use singular 'a good person' for one individual, and use correct noun 'spotlight' and 'basis' or 'foundation' instead of 'main lease'.

× the pot lights is the main lease of the life on when we are, uh, in the pot light, Yeah, everyone will say you are good people and better people like that.

✓ Politeness is the main foundation of life; when we are in the spotlight, everyone will say you are a good person and a better person for it.

Use 'in the spotlight' not 'in the pot light' or 'on when'. 'Main foundation' or 'main basis' is better than 'main lease'. Also use 'a good person' rather than 'good people' when referring to one person. Suggestion: choose correct prepositions and idiomatic expressions like 'in the spotlight' and 'foundation of life'.

× the pot lights is the main lease of the life on when we are, uh, in the pot light, Yeah, everyone will say you are good people and better people like that.

✓ Politeness is the main foundation of life; when we are in the spotlight, everyone will say you are a good person and a better person for it.

The sentence mixes tenses and contains wrong lexical items. Use present simple 'Politeness is' to state a general truth. Keep consistent tense and use idiomatic nouns and adjectives. Suggestion: use 'is' for general truth statements and ensure noun choice matches meaning.
