Part 1

How did you learn to be polite as a child?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct verb forms and remove repetition. For example, use past tense consistently (talked, explained), replace "explain me" with "explain to me", and avoid repeating phrases like "prefer to prefer."

Example: When I was a child, my parents often talked to me whenever I misbehaved. They calmly explained to me why my actions were wrong and suggested better ways to act, so I learned to correct my behavior quickly.

Do you think being polite is very important?

Score: 76.0

Suggestion: Clarify and correct grammar (subject–verb agreement, articles) and make the supporting detail more specific and natural. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then use linking words (because, for example) and provide a concrete example or reason. Replace "after people" with "to others" or "to people."

Example: Yes, I believe politeness is very important because it shows respect and helps build strong relationships. For example, teaching children simple manners such as saying “please” and “thank you” can encourage positive interactions and make communication smoother.

Grammar

Incorrect use of verb tense / Subject-verb agreement

× Actually when I was a child, my parents often talk to me when I had bad behavior and and to explain me why it's was wrong.

✓ Actually, when I was a child, my parents often talked to me when I behaved badly and explained to me why it was wrong.

Errors: 1) 'talk' should be past tense 'talked' to match 'was a child'—this is a past tense issue (ID 5). 2) 'had bad behavior' is unnatural; use 'behaved badly'—this is a sentence structure / verb form issue (ID 26). 3) 'and and to explain me' contains extra 'and' and incorrect word order; use 'and explained to me'—this involves incorrect verb form and preposition use (IDs 9 and 11). 4) 'it's was wrong' mixes tenses and has an extra auxiliary; correct is 'it was wrong'—past tense error (ID 5). Suggestion: Keep verbs in the past tense to match the time frame, use correct verb forms ('behave' -> 'behaved'), place 'to me' after the verb 'explained', and remove duplicate words.

Incorrect verb choice and redundancy

× So after that I prefer to prefer correcting my task and job.

✓ So after that I preferred to correct my tasks and my work.

Errors: 1) 'prefer to prefer' is redundant; use a single past form 'preferred' to match the previous past-tense context—this is a past tense / sentence structure issue (IDs 5 and 26). 2) 'correcting my task and job' is awkward: 'correct my tasks and my work' is more natural and matches the simple verb form—this is an incorrect verb + -ing form and word choice issue (IDs 8 and 13). Suggestion: Use 'preferred' for past preference and the base verb 'correct' to express the action, and use plural 'tasks' if referring generally to multiple things and 'work' instead of 'job' if you mean ongoing responsibilities.

Subject-verb agreement / Article use

× Yes, of course being polite is one of the most important behaviors because it show respect for other people and helps build good communication and relationship.

✓ Yes, of course being polite is one of the most important behaviors because it shows respect for other people and helps build good communication and good relationships.

Errors: 1) 'it show' should be 'it shows' to agree with the singular subject 'it'—this is a third person singular issue / subject-verb agreement (IDs 2 and 27). 2) 'communication and relationship' is unbalanced; use 'good communication and good relationships' (or 'a good relationship')—this is incorrect use of nouns/articles and pluralization (IDs 22 and 1). Suggestion: Ensure verbs agree with their subjects and keep parallel structure in noun phrases; choose singular or plural consistently ('relationships' plural if referring generally).

Preposition and article use

× For example, children should be taught a basic manner like saying please and thank you after people.

✓ For example, children should be taught basic manners like saying 'please' and 'thank you' to people.

Errors: 1) 'a basic manner' is incorrect; use plural 'basic manners' when referring to general behaviors—this is a singular/plural issue (ID 1) and article error (ID 22). 2) 'saying please and thank you after people' wrongly uses 'after' and misplaces the object; the correct preposition is 'to' as in 'say to people'—this is an incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11). Suggestion: Use 'basic manners' for general habits and 'to people' to indicate the recipient of the phrases; enclose polite phrases in quotes when writing to show they are examples.
