Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Câu trả lời có cấu trúc rõ ràng và đưa ra ví dụ cụ thể về lời chào cũng như việc nói “please” và “thank you”. Tuy nhiên, cần sửa lỗi hòa hợp chủ ngữ–động từ: “always says” → “always say”, và dùng thì quá khứ nhất quán: “they believe” → “they believed”. Cụm “helps you get anywhere with others” chưa tự nhiên; nên thay bằng “helps you build good relationships with others”.

Ejemplo: When I was a child, I learned to be polite from my parents. They taught me to greet people properly and always say “please” and “thank you.” They believed that being considerate would help me build good relationships with others.

Sugerencia: Câu trả lời chưa diễn đạt đầy đủ ý và có nhiều lỗi ngữ pháp, khiến người nghe khó hiểu. “being polite have” cần sửa thành “being polite helps”, còn “have a good rate on us” không phù hợp trong ngữ cảnh này; nên dùng “creates a good impression” hoặc “makes people respect us”. Hãy bắt đầu bằng câu trả lời trực tiếp, sau đó thêm một lý do và kết quả cụ thể; đồng thời tránh ngập ngừng và lặp từ “good”.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it creates a good impression on other people. It also shows that we respect their feelings and time. As a result, people are usually more willing to communicate and cooperate with us.

Sugerencia: Ý chính phù hợp và câu trả lời có lý do, nhưng cần sửa “we should polite” → “we should be polite” và “in every occasion” → “on every occasion” hoặc tự nhiên hơn là “in every situation”. “Taught us knowledge and behavior” chưa tự nhiên; nên dùng “educated us and taught us how to behave”. Có thể bổ sung một ví dụ cụ thể như khi nói chuyện, nhờ giúp đỡ hoặc bất đồng ý kiến với người khác.

Ejemplo: I think we should be polite in every situation, especially when speaking to our teachers and parents. They have educated us and taught us how to behave properly. We should also remain polite when we disagree with someone, because respectful communication can prevent unnecessary arguments.

Sugerencia: Câu trả lời có đưa ra hành động cụ thể, nhưng “politics” là từ dùng sai; cần thay bằng “politeness”. Cấu trúc “after ask somebody” cần sửa thành “after asking somebody” hoặc tự nhiên hơn là “when I asked someone”. Vì câu hỏi dùng thì quá khứ, hãy dùng “said” thay vì “say”. Nên nói rõ bạn thường dùng những cách lịch sự này trong tình huống nào để câu trả lời đầy đủ hơn.

Ejemplo: To show my politeness as a child, I usually said “please” when I asked someone to do something for me. I also said “thank you” after receiving help or a gift. These were simple habits, but they showed that I appreciated other people.

× When I was a child, I learned to be polite from my parents. They taught me to greet people politely and always says please and thank you because they believe being considerate helps you get anywhere with others.

✓ When I was a child, I learned to be polite from my parents. They taught me to greet people politely and always say please and thank you because they believe being considerate helps you get anywhere with others.

The subject of say is they, which is plural, so the verb must be in the base form say, not the third-person singular form says. Pay attention to the subject before each verb and check whether it is singular or plural.

× Of course being polite have people have a good, uh, good rate on us in.

✓ Of course, being polite helps people have a good impression of us.

Being polite is a singular gerund phrase, so it requires the singular verb helps, not have. The original sentence also has an incorrect structure and an incomplete expression. Use helps people have a good impression of us to express the idea clearly. When speaking, organize the sentence around a clear subject, verb, and object.

× I think we should polite in every occasion, but especially with uh, our teacher and parents because they are the people who taught us knowledge and behavior.

✓ I think we should be polite on every occasion, but especially with our teacher and parents because they are the people who taught us knowledge and behavior.

The modal verb should must be followed by the base form of a verb. Since polite is an adjective, the correct structure is should be polite. We use the preposition on with the expression on every occasion. Remember to use should be plus an adjective and learn common preposition combinations as fixed expressions.

× To show my politics as a child, as uh, I usually say please or thank you after, uh, ask somebody to do something for me.

✓ To show my politics as a child, I usually said please or thank you after asking somebody to do something for me.

The question asks about behavior in the past, so say should be changed to the past-tense form said. After is a preposition in this sentence, so it should be followed by a gerund: after asking, not after ask. For past habits, use usually plus the past-tense verb.
