Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Clarify grammar and use a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Focus on past habits (use past tense) and correct verb forms (e.g., "learned," "taught," "behaved"). Keep it natural and under five sentences.

Ejemplo: When I was a child, my parents and teachers taught me how to be polite. For example, they told me to say "thank you" and "excuse me," and to greet older people respectfully. Because of their guidance, I developed polite habits that I still use today.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with a clear opinion sentence and support it with concise, specific reasons. Use correct tense and collocations (e.g., "I am admired," "have good relationships"). Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas and keep sentences natural and brief.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it helps you build good relationships. For instance, polite behaviour makes friends and family feel respected, so they are more likely to trust and support you.

× When I was a child, I usually touch by my teacher and my parents how to be polite.

✓ When I was a child, my teacher and my parents usually taught me how to be polite.

The original sentence misuses 'touch by' where the past participle 'taught' is correct for the verb 'teach'. Also word order was incorrect: the subject performing the action (my teacher and my parents) should come before the verb, and the learner (me) should be the object. Suggestion: use 'taught me' for past teaching actions and place the subject before the verb.

× I have to behave right to the stranger or the older people.

✓ I have to behave correctly toward strangers and older people.

'Behave right to' is incorrect. Use the adverb 'correctly' to modify 'behave' and the preposition 'toward' (or 'to') with plural nouns 'strangers' and 'older people'. Also use plurals for general groups. Suggestion: use 'behave correctly toward strangers and older people.'

× For example, say thank you not only them but also my peers or someone I could keep

✓ For example, say 'thank you' not only to them but also to my peers or anyone I know.

The sentence lacks correct word order and missing prepositions. 'Say thank you' needs 'to' before the object. 'Someone I could keep' is unclear and ungrammatical; likely intended 'anyone I know' or 'people I know'. Suggestion: include the preposition 'to' and use a clear noun phrase like 'anyone I know.'

× Yes or two because if I became a polite person I will usually admire by others and I will have a good relationship with the person I keep in touch.

✓ Yes, because if I become a polite person I will usually be admired by others and I will have good relationships with the people I keep in touch with.

Multiple issues: tense and modal structure. Use present simple 'become' in the conditional clause (first conditional requires present simple), and 'will' in the main clause. Passive voice requires 'be admired' not 'admire by'. 'Person' should be plural 'people' when speaking generally, and the phrasal verb is 'keep in touch with'. Also 'Yes or two' is incorrect—use 'Yes' or 'Yes, a lot.' Suggestion: use 'if I become... I will be admired...' and correct passive and prepositional phrases.

× For example, my friends, my family and the other people.

✓ For example, my friends, my family, and other people.

The phrase 'the other people' is awkward when speaking generally; use 'other people'. Also a list should include commas. Suggestion: use 'other people' for general groups and include commas in lists.
