Politeness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: 用中文给出的改进建议： - 明确开头句并直接回应问题，避免“uh”这类犹豫词。可用一句主题句总结来源（例如：父母是主要来源）。 - 细节应更具体：说明父母怎样教（通过示范、纠正、故事或奖励），并举一两个具体例子，而不是泛泛而谈。这样能提高内容丰富度和说服力。 - 注意时态和语法一致性（例如用过去时描述童年：‘they corrected me’），并避免错误词汇（将“polite explanations”改为“polite expressions”，“root words”应改为“rude words”）。 - 控制长度，不超过5句话，使用连接词（for example, when, so）使句子更连贯。 - 增加一些合适的词汇替换重复的“polite”，如“courteous”或“respectful”。

Example: My parents taught me to be polite when I was a child. For example, they always modelled courteous behaviour by saying “please” and “thank you,” and they corrected me gently when I used rude words. They also encouraged me to greet neighbours and thank people who helped me, so I learned habits through repetition and praise.

Suggestion: 用中文给出的改进建议： - 回答要准确、简洁，避免含糊和重复（例如去掉多余的“when, uh”停顿词）。 - 纠正用词错误：“being pride”应为“being polite”或“politeness”。 - 给出具体理由并用连接词支撑观点，例如说明礼貌带来的好处（建立友好关系、避免冲突、留下好印象）。 - 提供一两个具体情境例子（如在公共交通上、与陌生人或在工作场合），使内容更具体、有说服力。 - 保持不超过5句话并使用较丰富的词汇（例如“courteous”, “considerate”, “make a good impression”）。

Example: Yes, I believe politeness is very important because it shows respect and helps build positive relationships. For instance, being courteous on public transport or when meeting new people can prevent misunderstandings and leave a good impression. Therefore I always try to use polite expressions like “excuse me” and “thank you” in daily interactions.

× And they correct me when I use the root words.

✓ And they corrected me when I used the wrong words.

原句中使用的時態與動詞形式不正確。“correct” 應為過去式

× I think being pride is very important in our daily life to show respect for the people you met.

✓ I think being polite is very important in our daily life to show respect for the people you meet.

原句使用了錯誤的形容詞“pride”（名詞）來表達“有禮貌”。正確應為形容詞“polite”。此外，“the people you met” 與句子時間不一致，應用一般現在時“you meet”來表達普遍事實。建議：使用正確詞性（形容詞 vs 名詞），並注意時態一致性。

× So when I, when I was, uh, outside, when, uh, when I speak to the strangers, I would use the polite words.

✓ So when I was outside, when I spoke to strangers, I would use polite words.

原句中代詞和冠詞使用不當：“the strangers” 用法不自然，應為複數名詞“strangers”不加定冠詞；時態也不一致，前半為過去式“was”，後半應使用過去式“spoke”以保持一致。建議：保持時態一致，省略不必要的定冠詞。

× They showed me how to say hello to strangers and how to use polite explanations, uh, such as please and thank you.

✓ They showed me how to say hello to strangers and how to use polite expressions, such as 'please' and 'thank you'.

原句中使用了錯誤的單詞“explanations”（解釋），正確應為“expressions”（表達、用語）。此外，引號可幫助標示例詞。建議：注意相近詞的語義差別，選用正確詞彙。

× Uh, well, when I was a child, my parents taught me how to be polite.

✓ Uh, well, when I was a child, my parents taught me how to be polite.

此句原本正確，使用了正確的過去時態（taught）與時間狀語（when I was a child）。無需修改。
