× I grew up in Asian culture where I have a strict parents so they teaches children to be polite especially to older people.
✓ I grew up in an Asian culture where I had strict parents, so they taught children to be polite, especially to older people.
Errors: 'a strict parents' mixes singular article with plural noun; should be 'strict parents' or 'a strict parent'. Tense inconsistency: 'have' should be past 'had' to match 'grew up'. Subject-verb agreement: 'they teaches' uses singular verb with plural subject; correct past tense is 'they taught'. Suggestion: use consistent past tense when describing childhood and ensure articles match noun number; use past form 'had' and 'taught'.
× Then that was the time I learned how to be polite to people.
✓ Then that was the time I learned how to be polite to people.
Sentence is grammatically correct. It uses past tense appropriately to describe a past event. No change needed.
× In ancient culture, yes, being polite is very important because it can reflect umm, with your families, umm, behavior.
✓ In our culture, yes, being polite is very important because it can reflect your family's behavior.
'Ancient culture' is likely wrong word choice; use 'our culture' or 'my culture'. 'Reflect with your families, behavior' is ungrammatical ordering and pluralization. Correct: 'reflect your family's behavior' (singular possessive if referring to one's family). Suggestion: choose accurate noun ('culture' not 'ancient') and use possessive form to show whose behavior is reflected, keep word order natural: 'reflect your family's behavior'.
× And if you're being polite to others, it means that your parents, they done a good job umm, teaching you how to be polite.
✓ And if you're being polite to others, it means that your parents did a good job teaching you how to be polite.
Errors: redundant subject 'your parents, they' should be just 'your parents'. 'Done' is incorrect past form here; use 'did' to form past simple ('did a good job'). Also remove filler 'umm' and comma clutter. Suggestion: use simple past 'did' and avoid redundant pronouns; write 'your parents did a good job teaching you how to be polite'.
