Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Clarify grammar and organize ideas: start with a clear topic sentence, then give two concise supporting details using linking words. Correct verb forms and possessives (e.g., “wasn’t directly taught to me,” “my family’s behavior”). Be specific about examples and finish the response. Keep it under 4–5 sentences.

Ejemplo: I learned to be polite mainly by copying my family’s behavior. For example, I watched how my parents greeted people and said “please” and “thank you,” and I tried to repeat those actions. Also, when relatives praised me for being polite, I understood which behaviors were acceptable and which were rude.

Sugerencia: Make a clear thesis sentence and support it with reasons and a short example. Fix contradictions (you said “on the other hand you will make a better impression if you choose being rude” which reverses your point). Use linking words (for example, because, therefore) and correct article and verb usage.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being polite is very important because you never know what someone else is going through. For example, a small rude remark can upset a person who is having a bad day, whereas a kind comment can improve their mood. Therefore, politeness helps build better relationships and leaves a positive impression.

Sugerencia: Provide a concise direct answer and give 2–3 specific occasions with linking words. Avoid repetition and unclear fragments. Use correct phrasing (e.g., “we should be polite on formal occasions, in public, and when meeting someone”). Keep sentences complete and coherent.

Ejemplo: We should be polite on all occasions, but especially in formal settings, in public, and when meeting someone for the first time. For instance, in a job interview or at a family gathering politeness shows respect, and in public it helps avoid misunderstandings if someone is having a difficult day.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence and list 2–3 specific actions using correct tense and pronouns. Use linking words (for example, also, in addition) and finish the answer. Correct sentence fragments and possessive forms.

Ejemplo: As a child I showed politeness through small helpful actions. For example, I always held the door open for people and often helped carry shopping bags for elderly neighbors. I also said “please” and “thank you” regularly to show respect.

× Being polite wasn't directly taught me talk to me.

✓ Being polite wasn't directly taught to me.

The verb 'teach' requires the past participle form with 'to' when using passive voice: 'taught to me'. Also 'talk to me' is unnecessary and ungrammatical here. Use 'taught to me' to express passive teaching. Suggestion: Use 'wasn't directly taught to me' or active 'Nobody directly taught me to be polite.'

× Actually, I imitated my family's behavior in public.

✓ Actually, I imitated my family's behavior in public.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Keep pronoun 'my' with 'family's'. Suggestion: None.

× So according to people's responses to my attitudes, such as you're such a polite boy or it's so rude of view I separated what is correct and incorrect in public.

✓ So, based on people's responses to my behavior, such as 'You are such a polite boy' or 'That is so rude,' I learned to distinguish correct and incorrect behavior in public.

Problems: incorrect pronoun/possessive usage and awkward phrases. 'According to' is acceptable but 'based on' is clearer. 'Responses to my attitudes' should be 'responses to my behavior.' Quoted phrases need correct forms. 'I separated what is correct and incorrect' is unidiomatic; use 'I learned to distinguish' instead. Suggestion: Use clear nouns ('behavior') and verbs ('learned to distinguish').

× Additionally, if I had maintained a nasty behavior my parents taught me

✓ Additionally, my parents corrected me whenever I displayed bad behavior.

Original sentence has incorrect clause structure and missing completion. 'If I had maintained' suggests conditional past; context needs habitual past. Use simple past habitual 'corrected me whenever I displayed'. Also 'nasty behavior' is better as 'bad behavior.' Suggestion: Use clear time/reference words like 'whenever' for habitual actions.

× being polite has a crucial importance no matter where you are.

✓ Being polite is extremely important no matter where you are.

'Has a crucial importance' is unidiomatic; use 'is extremely important' or 'is of crucial importance.' Capitalize sentence start. Maintain present tense for general truth. Suggestion: Use 'is important' or 'is of crucial importance.'

× Due to the fact that you can't know what is going on in people's lives around you.

✓ You cannot know what is going on in other people's lives.

Original is a sentence fragment starting with 'Due to the fact that' without a main clause. Rewrite as a complete sentence. Use 'other people's lives' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Avoid starting with subordinating phrases unless followed by a main clause.

× You should be nice to everyone.

✓ You should be nice to everyone.

This sentence is correct. The modal 'should' is used appropriately to give general advice. Suggestion: None.

× Otherwise with the basic and harmless seemed rude word you can hurt people who is going through a bad day.

✓ Otherwise, a seemingly harmless rude word can hurt people who are going through a bad day.

Problems: word order and agreement. 'Seemed rude' should be 'seemingly harmless rude' or 'seemingly harmless' modifying 'word.' 'You can hurt people who is' has subject-verb agreement error; use 'people who are.' Suggestion: Place modifiers before the noun and ensure plural verb agreement with 'people.'

× On the other hand you will make a better impression if you choose being rude in that.

✓ On the other hand, you will make a better impression if you avoid being rude.

Original contradicts logic and uses wrong gerund structure 'choose being rude.' The intended meaning is to avoid rudeness. Use 'avoid being rude.' Suggestion: Express contrast clearly and use 'avoid' with gerund.

× We ought to be polite every time because we can't know we can know nothing about what happened in people's life in that time.

✓ We ought to be polite all the time because we cannot know what is happening in people's lives at any given moment.

Original repeats and contradicts 'we can't know we can know nothing.' Simplify to 'cannot know.' Use present progressive 'is happening' for current events and 'people's lives' plural. 'At any given moment' is natural. Suggestion: Avoid redundant phrases and use standard time expressions.

× So if a people, if a person had But a bad time, his responses will make or day make or day that So on the other hand,

✓ So if a person is having a bad time, their reactions may affect our day.

Original is fragmented and mixes singular/plural pronouns. 'A people' is incorrect. Use 'a person' and gender-neutral 'their' for singular. Use present continuous 'is having' for ongoing state and 'may affect our day' for clarity. Suggestion: Use gender-neutral pronouns and complete clauses.

× me as a polite boy when I was a child because of my attitudes.

✓ I was a polite boy when I was a child because of my behavior.

Sentence starts with object pronoun 'me' instead of subject 'I.' Use 'behavior' instead of 'attitudes' for natural English in this context. Suggestion: Ensure subject pronoun is used and choose the correct noun ('behavior').

× For example, I would keep door open when I saw someone who was coming toward me A additionally I used to carry someone's bags who came from shopping.

✓ For example, I would keep the door open when I saw someone coming toward me. Additionally, I used to carry someone's shopping bags for them.

Missing article before 'door' (use 'the door'). 'Would' is okay for habitual past with 'when I saw.' 'Who was coming' can be simplified to 'coming toward me.' 'Someone who came from shopping' is awkward; use 'someone's shopping bags' and add 'for them.' Suggestion: Include articles and prefer concise relative clauses.

× And furthermore, I always

✓ And furthermore, I always tried to help others.

Original is an incomplete sentence fragment. Complete the idea with a main verb and object. 'Tried to help others' fits context of politeness. Suggestion: Avoid sentence fragments; finish thoughts with a verb and object.
