Part 1

How did you learn to be polite as a child?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy, sentence structure and add a clear topic sentence plus one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words for fluency and keep within 3–4 sentences. For example, correct verb forms (learned, taught me to give) and specify concrete examples of what you were taught.

Example: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents and teachers. For example, my mother insisted that I always say “please” and “thank you,” and my teacher taught me to address older people respectfully. As a result, these habits became automatic by the time I started primary school.

Do you think being polite is very important?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: Make a clear direct statement as the topic sentence, then give two specific reasons with linking words. Fix grammar and avoid hesitation. Use precise vocabulary (handle, resolve, stressful situations) and logical connectors (because, so, therefore). Keep to 2–3 sentences for clarity.

Example: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it helps people communicate calmly and resolve conflicts more effectively. For instance, if someone is upset, speaking politely can reduce tension and make it easier to find a solution.

Grammar

11:Incorrect use of prepositions

× When I was a child I learned to be polite, many from my parents and teacher.

✓ When I was a child I learned to be polite, mainly from my parents and my teacher.

The original uses 'many' which is incorrect here; 'mainly' (an adverb) correctly indicates the source. Also 'teacher' needs a determiner 'my'. Use 'parents' plural is fine. Suggestion: use 'mainly from my parents and my teacher' to clearly state the source.

8:Verb + -ing form

× They taught me how give respect to older people and always said please and thank you.

✓ They taught me how to give respect to older people and to always say please and thank you.

After 'how' the infinitive 'to give' is required; the verb was missing 'to'. Parallel structure requires 'to' before 'always say' as well. Suggestion: use 'how to give' and keep parallel infinitives: 'how to give... and to always say...'.

12:Incorrect use of pronouns

× According to my opinion, being polite is very important to all individuals because if they want to handle any difficult situation, if they feel anxiety and depression, they never solve problem.

✓ In my opinion, being polite is very important for everyone because if they want to handle a difficult situation, or if they feel anxious or depressed, they cannot solve the problem.

'According to my opinion' is not idiomatic; use 'In my opinion'. 'To all individuals' is awkward; 'for everyone' is natural. 'Feel anxiety and depression' should be 'feel anxious or depressed' (use adjectives). 'Never solve problem' is ungrammatical: use modal 'cannot' or 'cannot always' and include the article 'the' before 'problem'. Suggestion: rephrase to 'In my opinion, being polite is very important for everyone because if they want to handle a difficult situation, or if they feel anxious or depressed, they cannot solve the problem.'

26:Sentence structure errors

× If they face uh in polite way, definitely.

✓ If they do not behave politely, they definitely will not succeed in solving problems.

The original fragment is incomplete and unclear ('face uh in polite way'). It lacks a subject and verb and the meaning is ambiguous. I inferred the intended meaning and provided a complete conditional sentence with clear subject and verb. Suggestion: express full idea with clear clause: 'If they do not behave politely, they definitely will not succeed in solving problems.'
