Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid hesitation sounds and incorrect verb forms (e.g., "used to teach", "give"). Also clarify vague phrases like "expect my feelings"—say what you mean (e.g., "show appreciation").

Ejemplo: I learned to be polite from my parents. They taught me to say "thank you" whenever someone gave me a gift or helped me, so I grew up believing that expressing gratitude is the best way to show respect and appreciation.

Sugerencia: Give a direct topic sentence, then support it with one clear reason and an example. Eliminate filler words and unclear phrases (e.g., "you in my opinion"). Use linking words (for example, therefore) to connect ideas, and choose precise vocabulary like "creates a positive impression" instead of "good impression."

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it shows respect and helps build good relationships. For example, when someone uses polite language and listens carefully, others are more likely to trust them, so politeness often creates a positive impression and opens doors to friendship or cooperation.

× From my perspective, since I was young, my parents used to taught me to say thank you whenever someone give me a gift or they just help me.

✓ From my perspective, since I was young, my parents used to teach me to say thank you whenever someone gave me a gift or helped me.

Errors: 'used to taught' mixes 'used to' (which takes the base verb) with a past form; correct is 'used to teach'. Also 'give' and 'help' should be past tense to match 'used to' and the time frame 'since I was young', so use 'gave' and 'helped'. Suggestion: with 'used to' follow with base verb (teach), and maintain consistent past time reference for other verbs (gave, helped).

× So umm so I grew up thinking that saying thank you is the way to show them respect and expect my feelings too.

✓ So I grew up thinking that saying thank you is the way to show respect to others and express my feelings too.

Errors: 'So umm so' is disfluent and redundant; 'show them respect' is acceptable but 'show respect to others' is clearer. 'Expect my feelings' is incorrect collocation; likely intended 'express my feelings'. Suggestion: remove filler words, use correct collocation 'express my feelings', and keep sentence concise and clear.

× Yes, of course. I think being polite is the simplest way to show respect to others. Uh, you in my opinion.

✓ Yes, of course. I think being polite is the simplest way to show respect to others. In my opinion,

Errors: 'Uh, you in my opinion.' is ungrammatical and unclear. Likely the speaker meant to say 'In my opinion' as a discourse marker. Suggestion: use 'In my opinion,' at the start of the sentence and avoid filler 'you' here; complete the thought in the following clause.

× Usually I think people can know if someone is a good person or not through their personality, for example like how they act.

✓ Usually I think people can tell if someone is a good person or not from their personality, for example how they act.

Errors: 'know' is acceptable but 'tell' is more natural with this structure. 'Through their personality' is wordy; 'from their personality' is more natural. 'For example like' is redundant — use either 'for example' or 'like'. Suggestion: choose a single expression ('for example' or 'like') and use 'tell' and 'from' for natural phrasing.

× So if you're being polite with someone, it will be a good impression for them.

✓ So if you are polite to someone, it will make a good impression on them.

Errors: 'you're being polite' is present continuous and acceptable, but simple present 'you are polite' is more general. 'It will be a good impression for them' is incorrect collocation; correct is 'make a good impression on them'. Suggestion: use 'make a good impression on' as the standard phrase and prefer simple present for general truths.
