Politeness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and includes a clear general explanation, but there are several grammar and word-choice problems. Say “We were always taught” instead of “we are always learn,” and use “spreads throughout society” rather than the unnatural “propagates to the society.” Avoid repeating “I think” and connect your ideas more smoothly. You could also add one specific example of how teachers or parents taught you politeness.

Example: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents and teachers. At school, we were taught to respect our elders, greet people properly, and take turns when speaking. In addition, my parents encouraged me to say “please” and “thank you” whenever I asked for something. These habits gradually became part of my everyday behaviour.

Suggestion: Your answer is understandable, but it is far too short for a strong IELTS Part 1 response and provides no reason or supporting detail. Give a direct opinion and explain why politeness matters, using a linking word such as “because” or “also.” One or two additional sentences would make your answer more effective.

Example: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it shows respect and helps people communicate comfortably. Even when we disagree, polite language can prevent conflicts and maintain a good relationship.

Suggestion: You express a clear opinion, but the grammar and phrasing need improvement. Say “on all occasions” rather than “all the occasions,” and “There shouldn’t be any distinction” rather than “There should be any distinguish.” The answer would be more natural if you gave a specific example, such as speaking to strangers, colleagues, or service staff. Avoid repeating the same idea about being polite all the time.

Example: I believe we should be polite on all occasions, especially when speaking to strangers, colleagues, or older people. This is because we interact with others every day, and respectful behaviour helps create a friendly atmosphere. Even during disagreements, we should try to remain calm and considerate.

Suggestion: Your answer contains relevant examples, but it is unfinished and has several grammar and vocabulary errors. Because the question asks about the past, use “I always tried” and “I learned.” “Older sisters and brothers” is more natural than “elderly like my Big Sisters and brothers,” and “big” should not be capitalized here. Organize the answer into complete sentences and mention two or three specific polite actions, such as listening carefully, lowering your voice, and greeting older people.

Example: As a child, I tried to show politeness by respecting my parents, teachers, and older relatives. I learned to listen carefully when other people were speaking and not to raise my voice. I also greeted older people politely and used words such as “please” and “thank you.”

× It starts from our primary schools.

✓ It starts in primary school.

We use in, not from, to describe the place or stage where something begins. Primary school is usually used as a general, uncountable stage of education, so it does not need a plural form here.

× I think we are always learn to respect our elders and teachers.

✓ I think we always learn to respect our elders and teachers.

The verb learn should not be used after are in this sentence. For a general habit or fact, use the simple present: we always learn.

× Then I think that just propagates to the society.

✓ Then I think that just spreads to society.

Society is used generally here, so it does not need the definite article the. Spreads is also a more natural verb than propagates in this context.

× There should be any distinguish between because you interact with humans all the time, so you have to be polite to one another.

✓ There shouldn't be any distinction because you interact with people all the time, so you have to be polite to one another.

In a negative sentence, use there should not be or there shouldn't be before any. Distinguish is a verb, but the sentence needs the noun distinction after any.

× We should be polite all the time, all the occasions.

✓ We should be polite all the time, on all occasions.

The correct preposition before occasions is on. The expression on all occasions means every time a situation occurs.

× As a child, I always try to respect our elders and teachers.

✓ As a child, I always tried to respect my elders and teachers.

The question asks about your childhood, so use the past tense tried. My is more appropriate because you are referring to your own elders and teachers.

× And also elderly like my Big Sisters and brothers.

✓ I also respected older people, such as my big sisters and brothers.

Elderly is normally an adjective and cannot be used alone in this structure. Use older people or older siblings instead. Big should also be lowercase because it is not a proper noun.

× I also learn not to raise my voice and then listen to others.

✓ I also learned not to raise my voice and to listen to others.

Because the answer describes childhood, use the past tense learned. To listen should be added to make the two actions parallel: to raise my voice and to listen to others.

× And also I think, uh, I also learn not to raise my voice and then listen to others and.

✓ I also learned not to raise my voice and to listen to others.

The original sentence contains unnecessary repeated connectors and ends with and, so it is incomplete. Use one clear subject and connect the two parallel actions with and.
