Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence, shorten and correct grammar, and add one specific example to support who influenced you and how. Use linking words to connect ideas and avoid repetition.

Ejemplo: I learned to be polite mainly from my mother and my teachers. For example, my mother always reminded me to say “please” and “thank you,” while a teacher once praised me for helping a classmate, which encouraged me to be courteous to others.

Sugerencia: State your opinion briefly, avoid repeating phrases, and give one clear reason with a concise supporting example. Correct grammar and finish your sentence.

Ejemplo: Yes, I believe being polite is very important because it helps maintain good relationships. For instance, staying calm and using polite language during disagreements usually makes it easier to reach a solution.

Sugerencia: Answer directly, remove hesitations, and organise with linking words (e.g., “for example,” “especially”). Give one or two specific occasions and brief reasons.

Ejemplo: We should be polite in everyday interactions, for example when asking for a favor and when apologizing. Especially during an apology, being polite shows sincerity and helps mend the relationship.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence, mention specific actions and one brief result, avoid filler words and repetition.

Ejemplo: As a child I showed politeness by always saying “please,” “thank you,” and “sorry” to friends and older people. These habits made others feel respected and helped me build strong relationships as I grew up.

× I think the behavior of me being polite towards all people was learned from my mother and also my teacher had a great influence of me being polite and my friends also taught me of being.

✓ I think my polite behavior toward all people was learned from my mother, and my teacher also had a great influence on me being polite, and my friends taught me to be polite.

Errors: incorrect prepositions 'influence of me' and 'taught me of being'; awkward noun phrase 'the behavior of me being polite' and redundant structure. Use 'influence on' and 'taught me to' for correct collocations; simplify 'the behavior of me being polite' to 'my polite behavior' and 'towards' to 'toward' (both acceptable, but 'toward' is concise). Suggestion: use correct prepositions with verbs/nouns (influence on, teach someone to do something) and simplify phrasing.

✓ I think being polite is very important. It should be everyone's duty to be polite rather than aggressive in every situation in life, because being polite helps people understand how others are feeling.

Errors: awkward phrase 'to each and every point in their life' and repeated 'and and'; incorrect clause 'understand what they're feeling' referring unclear subject. Replace with 'in every situation in life' for clarity and 'how others are feeling' for correct reference. Remove repeated word. Suggestion: avoid redundant phrases and ensure pronouns clearly refer to their antecedents.

✓ Being polite is an essential part of life, but mostly you should be polite when you ask for a favor, and especially when you apologize to a person whom your actions have hurt; you must be polite to that person.

Errors: wrong phrase 'that you were actions made them suffer' and unclear clause structure. Use relative pronoun 'whom' and present perfect 'have hurt' (past participle) to show an action affecting someone. Also prefer 'must be polite' for advice. Suggestion: use correct relative pronouns and verb forms (have + past participle) and simplify sentence structure.

Errors: inconsistent tense 'used to' with 'help' (should be past effect continuing to present -> present perfect 'have helped'); unnecessary repetition 'I learned, I learned'; 'used to use words' is awkward, better 'used to say'. Suggestion: match tenses to show past habit with present relevance (used to + present perfect), remove redundancies, and use concise wording.
