Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence and organize supporting details briefly. Reduce repetition and correct grammar (e.g. "youngers/olders" → "younger and older people"). Use linking words to sequence influences (e.g. "Firstly, secondly"). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I learned politeness mainly from my family. Firstly, my parents always treated younger and older people with respect, so I copied their behaviour. Secondly, teachers at secondary school reinforced manners through lessons and school rules.

Sugerencia: Begin with a concise opinion sentence, then give two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid vague phrases like "all over things" and repetitive confirmation. Correct grammar and sentence structure.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think politeness is very important because it helps effective communication and creates a positive impression of your character. For example, polite speech makes conversations smoother, and employers often value polite behaviour in the workplace.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with one clear sentence, then give a brief specific example to support it. Avoid filler words and stuttering. Use linking words like "for example" to clarify.

Ejemplo: We should be polite in all situations because respect is a basic social rule. For example, being polite at work meetings and when meeting elders shows consideration and helps build trust.

Sugerencia: Provide a short direct answer recalling specific behaviours, even if approximate. Replace hesitation with a clear statement and include 1–2 concrete examples (e.g. saying "please"/"thank you", helping with chores). Use a linking phrase like "for example".

Ejemplo: I don't remember everything, but as a child I tried to be polite by saying "please" and "thank you" and listening when adults spoke. For example, I would help my grandmother set the table and always greet guests politely.

× Well, whenever I heard about the politeness and actually I saw in my family that everyone is very polite and they are showing manners to the youngers and the olders.

✓ Well, whenever I heard about politeness and actually I saw in my family that everyone was very polite and showed manners to the young and the old.

Errors: unnecessary definite article with 'politeness' and incorrect comparative nouns 'youngers'/'olders'. Also tense consistency: use past tense 'was' and 'showed' to match 'heard' and 'saw'. Suggestions: omit 'the' before abstract nouns like 'politeness', use 'young' and 'old' or 'the young'/'the old' rather than 'youngers'/'olders', and keep past tense consistent.

× And also I learned from it from my secondary school and my Intermediate School and also in my institution and all over the things I whenever I saw.

✓ I also learned it at my secondary school, at my intermediate school and at other institutions whenever I saw examples of politeness.

Errors: incorrect preposition use ('from it from'), awkward pronoun reference 'it', and poor word order 'all over the things I whenever I saw'. Suggestions: use 'learned it at' for places, replace vague 'it' with 'examples of politeness', and reorder phrase for clarity.

× Well, yes, definitely because without politeness you can't communicate with someone.

✓ Yes, definitely, because without politeness you cannot communicate with others.

Error: 'someone' is odd in general statements; use plural 'others' for generalizations. Also expand contraction for formality if desired. Suggestion: use plural to match general statements.

× And also it depends.

✓ It also depends.

Error: redundant 'also' placement and awkward ordering. Suggestion: place adverb after subject: 'It also depends.'

× It also carries your all over character and your personality.

✓ It also reflects your overall character and personality.

Errors: incorrect phrase 'all over character', wrong verb 'carries' with abstract noun. Suggestion: use 'reflects' and 'overall' as adjective modifying 'character'.

× You're talking style and all over the things is dependent on manners and it also carries the the politeness it is.

✓ Your speaking style and everything you do depend on manners, and politeness is part of that.

Errors: wrong possessive 'You're' (you are) instead of 'Your', noun phrase 'talking style' better as 'speaking style', subject-verb agreement ('are dependent' or 'depend' with plural subjects), awkward repetition 'the the' and unclear clause 'it also carries the the politeness it is'. Suggestions: use 'your', ensure subject-verb agreement, simplify sentence and remove redundancy.

× So I think yes, talking and showing politeness is very important.

✓ So I think yes, talking and showing politeness are very important.

Error: subject 'talking and showing politeness' is compound and requires plural verb 'are' rather than 'is'. Suggestion: match verb number to combined subjects.

× Well, we should be polite at any situation or at any moment because politeness doesn't need any specific occasion.

✓ We should be polite in any situation or at any moment because politeness does not require a specific occasion.

Errors: use preposition 'in' with 'situation', avoid 'doesn't need any specific occasion' — better 'does not require a specific occasion'. Suggestion: use correct prepositions and more natural collocations.

× Or so I think.

✓ At least, that is what I think.

Error: 'Or so I think' is awkward. Suggestion: use clearer phrase 'that is what I think' or 'I think so'.

× Yes, we have to be polite at any occasion and any because politeness is a, is a significant virtue that a man, a person can ever have.

✓ Yes, we have to be polite on any occasion because politeness is a significant virtue a person can have.

Errors: redundant 'and any', wrong preposition 'at any occasion' should be 'on any occasion', awkward phrasing 'that a man, a person can ever have.' Suggestions: remove redundancy, use 'person' not 'man' for neutrality, and simplify clause.

× Well, I didn't remember.

✓ Well, I don't remember.

Error: 'didn't remember' suggests past state; speaker means present inability to recall so use present 'don't remember'. Suggestion: use present simple for current memory.

× Well, I don't remember. It's clear at what I did, but if I have to say about it, I would say that I always try to make a good conversation.

✓ I don't remember exactly what I did, but if I had to say, I would say that I always tried to have good conversations.

Errors: mixed tenses 'always try' vs past context; 'It's clear at what I did' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: if referring to childhood actions, use past tense 'tried' and 'had'. Clarify 'exactly' rather than 'It's clear at what'.

× And also, uh, I always respected them.

✓ I always respected them.

Error: extra filler 'And also, uh' unnecessary. No major preposition issue but keep concise. Suggestion: omit fillers in formal answers.

× And after that I always try to obey them and test, uh, suggestions and I always try to make a good conversation with them and that's it.

✓ After that I always tried to follow their advice and tried to have good conversations with them.

Errors: inconsistent tense (present 'try' vs past context), incorrect verb 'obey them and test suggestions' should be 'follow their advice', 'make a good conversation' is unnatural; use 'have a good conversation'. Suggestions: use past tense for childhood actions, choose natural collocations like 'follow advice' and 'have conversations'.
