Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× They were a very kind person, and they taught me how to be polite to my teachers and my neighbors.

✓ They were very kind people, and they taught me how to be polite to my teachers and my neighbors.

原句中主语是複数的 "They",但後面用了單數名詞短語 "a very kind person",造成數不一致。應將單數變為複數 "people" 或把主語改為單數 "He/She was a very kind person"。建議:保持主語和名詞數一致。

Third person singular issue

× Yes, I think being polite is very important because if you meet someone at the first sight, being a polite person can let them feel that we are nice people and it will give you convenience to communicate with others.

✓ Yes, I think being polite is very important because if you meet someone at first sight, being polite can make them feel that we are nice people and it will make it easier for you to communicate with others.

問題有幾處:1) "at the first sight" 應為固定搭配 "at first sight"(介詞用法)。2) "being a polite person can let them feel" 中語態與搭配不自然,應用 "can make them feel"。3) "give you convenience to communicate" 不符合英語表達,應用 "make it easier for you to communicate"。同時注意人稱一致與自然用法。

Incorrect use of pronouns

× There are lots of occasions that you should be polite like you should be polite when you are a student.

✓ There are lots of occasions when you should be polite, for example when you are a student.

原句中 "occasions that you should be polite like" 結構不自然,代詞和連接詞使用錯誤。應使用關係副詞 "when" 或用逗號加連接短語引出例子。建議使用清晰的從句或列舉短語。

Incorrect use of articles

× Yes in school you should be polite to a teacher and one talks about the working space, you should be polite to your colleagues and to your boss or if you don't be polite maybe you will lose your job.

✓ Yes, in school you should be polite to your teachers, and when it comes to the workplace, you should be polite to your colleagues and your boss; if you're not polite, you might lose your job.

原句存在多處問題:1) "a teacher" 用法太狹窄,應用複數 "teachers" 表示泛指。2) "one talks about the working space" 語法不自然,應改為 "when it comes to the workplace"。3) "if you don't be polite" 動詞形式錯誤,應為 "if you're not polite" 或 "if you do not behave politely"。4) 時態與語氣(可能性)用 "might" 更合適。建議重構句子使結構清晰。

Past tense issue

× When I was a child I was really polite to my classmates and the thing that I remember to be polite is that I usually get a lot of presents to them and when I travel the other place when I come back, I definitely would buy some gifts for my classmates.

✓ When I was a child I was really polite to my classmates. What I remember is that I usually gave them a lot of presents, and when I travelled to other places and came back, I would definitely buy some gifts for my classmates.

錯誤包括:1) 時態不一致 — 敘述過去經歷應使用過去式("get" 應為 "gave";"travel" 應為過去式或過去分詞形式在特定句子中)。2) 結構冗長且重複("when I travel the other place when I come back"),應簡化為 "when I travelled to other places and came back"。3) "would" 作為過去習慣用法可以保留。建議統一使用過去式描述兒時行為並拆分為兩個清晰的句子。
