How did you learn to be polite as a child?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 回答基本切题,也提到了父母和老师这两个来源,但句子结构不自然。“taught me about how to say”应改为“taught me how to...”,“held by others”应改为“being helped by others”。建议先直接回答,再补充一个具体例子,并使用“for example”连接细节。
Example: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents and teachers. They taught me to say “hello” when meeting people and “thank you” whenever someone helped me. For example, my parents reminded me to thank my teachers after they answered my questions.
Do you think being polite is very important?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 回答观点明确,并给出了学习和职业方面的原因,但“a lots of opportunity”应改为“a lot of opportunities”,“grab opportunities”不如“create or gain opportunities”自然。“career and study life”可以改为“academic and professional life”。建议说明礼貌如何帮助建立良好关系,使理由更具体。
Example: Yes, I think being polite is extremely important in both academic and professional life. It helps me build good relationships with classmates, teachers, and colleagues. As a result, people may be more willing to cooperate with me and recommend me for future opportunities.
On what occasions should we be polite?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: 回答中有相关想法,但语法和词汇问题较多。“Greetings and helped by others”应改为“when greeting people or receiving help”,“calories”应改为“please”,并且应说“show respect for others”,而不是“show respect from others”。建议列举两个具体场合,并说明对应的礼貌表达。
Example: We should be polite when we meet people, receive help, or speak to older people. For example, we can say “hello” when greeting someone and “please” or “thank you” when making a request or receiving help. These expressions show respect and make communication more pleasant.
What did you do to show your politeness as a child?
Score: 38.0Suggestion: 回答提到了说“谢谢”和“你好”,但“helloed”不是自然表达,“in my child”应改为“as a child”,“after being helped and greeting”需要改为“when someone helped me or when I greeted people”。“proneness to others”用词错误,应表达为“respect for others”。建议加入一个童年中的具体行为或场景。
Example: As a child, I usually said “thank you” when someone helped me and greeted adults when I met them. I also tried to hold the door open for other people. My parents encouraged me to behave this way because it showed respect and consideration.
× I learned to be polite from my teachers and parents who taught me about how to say hello and thank you in different situations such as greetings or held by others.
✓ I learned to be polite from my teachers and parents, who taught me how to say hello and thank you in different situations, such as when greeting others or being helped by them.
“greetings”和“held by others”在“such as”后面结构不平行。表示“被帮助”时,应使用“being helped”这一动名词短语,与“greeting others”保持平行。
× Yes, being polite is vitally important in my career and study life because it may let me grab a lots of opportunity in the future.
✓ Yes, being polite is vitally important in my career and study life because it may help me gain a lot of opportunities in the future.
“a lot of”是正确的数量表达,不能写成“a lots of”。“a lot of”后面可以接可数名词复数或不可数名词。
× Yes, being polite is vitally important in my career and study life because it may let me grab a lots of opportunity in the future.
✓ Yes, being polite is vitally important in my career and study life because it may help me gain a lot of opportunities in the future.
“opportunity”是可数名词;“a lot of”表示多个机会时,后面的名词应使用复数形式“opportunities”。
× Greetings and helped by others should be polite because it shows respect from others by saying calories and thank you.
✓ We should be polite when greeting others or being helped by them because saying hello and thank you shows respect.
“helped by others”不能直接和“Greetings”并列。表达“被别人帮助”这一活动时,应使用“being helped by them”。同时,“greeting others”和“being helped by them”都是活动表达,结构更加平行。
× Greetings and helped by others should be polite because it shows respect from others by saying calories and thank you.
✓ We should be polite when greeting others or being helped by them because these actions show respect when we say hello and thank you.
前文提到了两个行为,不能用含义不清的单数代词“it”指代。应使用“these actions”明确指代“greeting others”和“being helped by them”。
× I said thank you or helloed in my child after being helped and greeting because these behaviours while reflecting the proneness to others.
✓ As a child, I said thank you or hello after being helped or when greeting others because these behaviours reflected my politeness toward others.
“in my child”中的介词使用错误。“child”在这里表示人生阶段,应使用固定表达“as a child”,意思是“小时候”。
× I said thank you or helloed in my child after being helped and greeting because these behaviours while reflecting the proneness to others.
✓ As a child, I said thank you or said hello after being helped or when greeting others because these behaviours reflected my politeness toward others.
问题描述的是童年发生的事情,所以应使用过去时。“helloed”不是标准表达,应该说“said hello”。另外,“reflecting”不能直接放在“because”后面作谓语,应改为过去式“reflected”。
× I said thank you or helloed in my child after being helped and greeting because these behaviours while reflecting the proneness to others.
✓ As a child, I said thank you or said hello after being helped or when greeting others because these behaviours reflected my politeness toward others.
原句中的“and”使“being helped”和“greeting”之间的逻辑关系不清。这里表达两种不同情况,使用“or”更合适;“when greeting others”也能清楚表示“在向别人打招呼时”。
× I said thank you or helloed in my child after being helped and greeting because these behaviours while reflecting the proneness to others.
✓ As a child, I said thank you or said hello after being helped or when greeting others because these behaviours reflected my politeness toward others.
“because these behaviours while reflecting...”的句子结构不完整。“because”后面需要完整的主语和谓语,因此应改为“because these behaviours reflected...”。
