How did you learn to be polite as a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Cevabınız doğrudan soruya yanıt vermeye çalışıyor ve büyükannenizle ilgili kişisel bir ayrıntı içeriyor; ancak “volcanic” ve “balcanic” kelimeleri bu bağlamda yanlış kullanılmış. Muhtemelen “strict” veya “traditional” demek istediniz. “She may like punch you” ifadesi de dilbilgisi açısından yanlış ve anlam olarak doğal değil. Önce büyükannenizin sizi nasıl eğittiğini açıkça söyleyin, ardından bunun kibarlık anlayışınızı nasıl etkilediğini açıklayın. Mizah kullanacaksanız, bunu daha doğal ve güvenli bir ifadeyle yapın.
Example: I learned to be polite mainly from my grandmother, who was quite strict and traditional. She always reminded me to greet people properly, say “please” and “thank you,” and show respect to older people. As a result, these habits became automatic for me.
Do you think being polite is very important?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Ana fikriniz açık ve bir neden sunuyorsunuz; ancak “informal communications or situations” ifadesi doğal değil ve büyük harfle “Informal” yazılmamalı. Kibarlığın yalnızca istediğinizi elde etmek için gerekli olduğunu söylemek biraz dar bir bakış açısı yaratıyor. “In everyday interactions” ve “build positive relationships” gibi bağlama uygun ifadeler kullanın. Cevabı bir sonuç veya kısa örnekle destekleyerek daha etkili hâle getirebilirsiniz.
Example: Yes, I think being polite is very important, especially in everyday interactions. It helps people communicate more comfortably and shows respect for others. For example, using polite language at work can help you build better relationships with your colleagues.
On what occasions should we be polite?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Cevabınızda hem bir şey isterken hem de bir şey aldıktan sonra kibar olunması gerektiğini belirtiyorsunuz; bu, soruya uygundur. Ancak cümle yapısı çok dağınık ve “in like wanting something” ile “change a lot from the person” doğal ifadeler değildir. “When asking for something” ve “when receiving help” gibi doğru kalıplar kullanın. Fikirlerinizi “For example” veya “Also” ile ayırarak iki net cümle kurun.
Example: We should be polite whenever we ask someone for something or receive help from them. For example, we can say “please” when making a request and “thank you” afterwards. These small expressions can make people feel respected and appreciated.
What did you do to show your politeness as a child?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Kişisel ve özgün bir örnek vermeniz cevabınızı güçlendiriyor; ancak zaman uyumu ve fiil seçimlerinde hatalar var. Geçmişten bahsederken “I loved drawing,” “I drew a portrait” ve “I gave it to them” kullanmalısınız; “drove” yerine “drew” gelmelidir. “When I said thank you” ifadesi de daha doğru olur. Cevabı, çizimin neden sizin için anlamlı olduğunu belirterek daha doğal ve anlaşılır hâle getirin.
Example: When I was a child, I loved drawing, so I often made small pictures for people who helped me. For instance, I once drew a portrait of my teacher and gave it to her as a way of saying thank you. She really appreciated the gesture.
× I was raised by my grandma, which is volcanic.
✓ I was raised by my grandma, who is volcanic.
Use who, not which, when referring to a person. Which is used for things, while who is used for people.
× I was raised by my grandma, which is volcanic. So it comes automatically to be polite when you have a balcanic grandmother because she may like punch you in a kind way.
✓ I was raised by my grandma, who is volcanic. Being polite comes naturally when you have a volcanic grandmother because she may like punching you in a kind way.
The expression it comes automatically to be polite is not structured naturally in English. Use the gerund phrase Being polite as the subject and the adverb naturally after the verb comes.
× She may like punch you in a kind way.
✓ She may like punching you in a kind way.
The verb like is followed by a gerund when describing an activity or repeated action. Therefore, punch should be changed to punching.
× We should be polite in like wanting something or after getting something from other people by saying thank you is also it may sound small but it can change a lot from the person.
✓ We should be polite when we want something or after receiving something from other people. Saying thank you may sound small, but it can make a big difference to the other person.
The original sentence joins several ideas without a clear grammatical structure. Use when we want something for the first situation, and make Saying thank you the subject of a separate sentence.
× It can change a lot from the person.
✓ It can make a big difference to the other person.
The preposition from is incorrect in this expression. Use to after make a difference because the difference affects or is important to a person.
× When I was a child I love drawing so when I say thank you I drove the portrait of that person and like draw me next to that person and give it to her.
✓ When I was a child, I loved drawing, so when I said thank you, I drew a portrait of that person, drew myself next to that person, and gave it to her.
The question asks about childhood, so the answer should use the past tense. Change love to loved, say to said, draw to drew, and give to gave. The verb drove is also incorrect here; the past tense of draw is drew.
