Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve clarity, grammar and conciseness. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar errors (e.g. 'told reminded' → 'reminded', 'ease' → 'observe', 'see to say' → 'encouraged me to say'), and limit to up to 4–5 sentences. Add a specific example using a linking word to make it coherent (e.g. 'For example').

Ejemplo: My parents taught me to be polite when I was young. For example, they reminded me to be kind to others and to observe proper table manners at dinner. They also encouraged me to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ which helped me build respectful habits. As a result, I still use these manners daily.

Sugerencia: Fix word choice and grammar, avoid hesitation, and expand slightly with a clear linking phrase. Replace 'plainness' with 'politeness', ensure subject-verb agreement ('makes'), and remove filler words like 'uh'. Add a specific result to strengthen the point.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think politeness is very important because it shows respect and makes people more willing to cooperate. For example, when colleagues speak courteously to one another, meetings become more constructive and solutions are reached faster.

× For example, they always told reminded me to be kind to others and to ease proper table manners at dinner.

✓ For example, they always reminded me to be kind to others and to use proper table manners at dinner.

The sentence contains redundant and incorrect verb use: 'told reminded' duplicates verbs and should be 'reminded'. 'Ease proper table manners' is incorrect verb choice; 'use proper table manners' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: remove the extra verb 'told' and replace 'ease' with 'use' so the actions are clear and idiomatic. Grammar problem type ID:26

× And they encouraged me to see to say please and thank you.

✓ And they encouraged me to say 'please' and 'thank you'.

The phrase 'see to say' is incorrect; likely intended 'to say'. Also when mentioning words like please and thank you in speech, it's clearer to frame them as words. Suggestion: remove 'see to' and write 'to say please and thank you' or use quotes around the words for clarity. Grammar problem type ID:8

× Yes, I think plainness is very important because it shows respect and make people more willing to cooperate.

✓ Yes, I think politeness is very important because it shows respect and makes people more willing to cooperate.

'Plainness' is the wrong noun; the intended concept is 'politeness'. Also subject-verb agreement error: the singular subject 'it' requires 'makes' rather than 'make'. Suggestion: replace 'plainness' with 'politeness' and change 'make' to 'makes' to match the singular subject. Grammar problem type ID:13

× For example, when colleagues, uh, speak courteously to one another, meetings become more constructive.

✓ For example, when colleagues speak courteously to one another, meetings become more constructive.

The filler 'uh' is acceptable in speech but unnecessary in written form; remove it for clarity. Commas around 'uh' are not needed. The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct. Suggestion: omit fillers in written responses and keep the sentence as corrected. Grammar problem type ID:26
