Politeness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Focus on clarity and coherence: start with a clear topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid fragmented phrases and unclear vocabulary. Also correct grammar (past tense, articles) and replace unintelligible words with clear ones (e.g., “listen to others,” “teachers often reminded us”). Keep answers under five sentences.

Example: I learned to be polite mainly at home from my parents, who always taught me good manners and to listen to others. In school, teachers often reminded us to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ and we were encouraged to show respect in our culture. For example, I was taught to greet elders formally and to wait my turn when speaking.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence stating your opinion, then support it with coherent reasons and a concrete example. Use correct vocabulary and grammar (e.g., “shows care and consideration,” “people are more likely to reciprocate,” “saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’”). Avoid unclear or incorrect words. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'for example.'

Example: Yes, I think politeness is very important because it shows care and consideration for others. When you are courteous, people are more likely to treat you kindly in return. For example, saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ on public transport can make interactions calmer and help avoid conflicts.

Suggestion: Begin with a direct statement, then give specific categories of occasions and one clear example for each. Use appropriate linking words (e.g., 'for example,' 'such as') and correct small grammar errors (plural/singular, prepositions). Keep it concise and natural.

Example: I believe we should be polite on most occasions because it helps conversations run smoothly. For example, in formal situations such as job interviews politeness creates a good impression, and in informal settings like meeting friends it helps maintain a positive atmosphere.

Suggestion: Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence, then provide 1–2 specific actions you used to show politeness. Correct unclear phrases ('please other for their fraud' unclear—replace with 'be kind to others' or 'not cause trouble'). Use past habits language ('used to', 'would') accurately and include a brief example.

Example: When I was a child, I used to say ‘thank you’ whenever someone helped me and I tried to be kind to others so I wouldn't upset them. If I needed something, I would ask politely and say ‘please’ so people knew I appreciated their help.

The original sentence has run-on structure and omitted verbs. This fits sentence structure errors (ID 26). Separate independent clauses with a semicolon or conjunction and include the missing verb 'taught'. Use the infinitive 'to listen' to express purpose.

✓ At school, teachers often reminded us to say 'please' and 'thank you'; in my culture, politeness toward others and respect are especially important.

This sentence contains incorrect prepositions and many wrong or garbled words; fits incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11) and sentence structure (26). Replace 'as school' with 'at school', 'Florence despite by' is meaningless so use 'often reminded us', and correct 'praise' to 'please' and 'tissue' to 'respect' to make sense. Use a semicolon to join related clauses.

× For example being cautious inboard formal situations like job interviews and informal ones like meeting friends create positive atmosphere.

✓ For example, being courteous in both formal situations like job interviews and informal ones like meeting friends creates a positive atmosphere.

Original misuses prepositions/words ('inboard' should be 'in both') and verb agreement; fits incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11) and subject-verb agreement (27). Use 'courteous' instead of 'cautious' if intending politeness, and ensure singular verb 'creates' agrees with the gerund phrase.
