Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer directly identifies your mother as the main influence and includes relevant examples, such as expressing gratitude and saying thank you. However, the final sentence is incomplete, and phrases such as “those values came in me” and “wish properly” are unnatural. Use a clearer structure: identify the influence, explain how she taught you, and give one or two specific examples. Avoid repetition and finish your response with a complete sentence.

Ejemplo: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents, especially my mother. She always reminded me to be grateful for small things, say “thank you,” and greet people properly. As the eldest child, I was also expected to set a good example for my younger siblings, so these habits became natural to me.

Sugerencia: You give a clear opinion and explain that politeness is important when interacting with different people. However, “the most important quality” and “if you want to survive” sound exaggerated, and the answer contains some repetition of “important.” Improve it by giving one specific result of politeness, such as building trust, avoiding conflict, or maintaining good relationships. Use more natural phrasing, such as “when dealing with different kinds of people.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being polite is extremely important because it helps us build trust and maintain good relationships. When we treat people courteously, they are usually more willing to listen to us and cooperate with us. This is particularly useful at work and in family life, where misunderstandings can easily arise.

Sugerencia: Your answer gives a direct response and mentions several relevant groups, including younger people, older people, and colleagues. However, “dealing with younger, with elders alike” is grammatically incorrect, and “have our communication better” is unnatural. Use the linking phrase “whether...or...” to organize the examples, and explain why politeness matters in one of these situations. Avoid repeating “we need to be polite.”

Ejemplo: We should be polite on every occasion, whether we are speaking to children, older people, or our colleagues. It is especially important in professional situations because respectful communication helps prevent misunderstandings and creates a more positive working environment. Even when we disagree, we should express our opinions calmly and courteously.

Sugerencia: You mention appropriate childhood behaviors, such as greeting elders and saying thank you, but the answer is incomplete and ends with “and.” The word order is also unnatural in “I was very polite always,” and “a little act simple act of help” is repetitive and unclear. Answer in two or three complete sentences and add a specific example of when you behaved politely.

Ejemplo: As a child, I showed politeness by greeting my elders whenever I met them and thanking people who helped me. For example, if a relative gave me a gift or helped me with my homework, I would thank them and speak respectfully. My parents encouraged me to use these manners every day.

× She is actually a very sweet, polite lady and automatically those values came in me.

✓ She is actually a very sweet, polite lady, and those values came to me naturally.

The preposition in is not used with come when describing something being learned or received. Use come to me, or use a more natural expression such as those values were instilled in me.

× So I would she always taught me how to be grateful for little things, blessings and say thank you, wish properly.

✓ So, I would say that she always taught me how to be grateful for little things and blessings, say thank you, and behave politely.

The original sentence contains an incomplete and incorrectly arranged clause: I would she always taught me. The phrase I would say that correctly introduces the statement. The actions in the list should also be presented in a parallel structure.

× On all occasions we should be polite, especially when we are dealing with younger, with elders alike.

✓ On all occasions, we should be polite, especially when we are dealing with younger people and elders alike.

The preposition with is incorrectly repeated before elders, and younger needs the noun people in this sentence. Use the coordinated structure younger people and elders alike.

× Even when we are dealing with our colleagues, we need to have our communication better.

✓ Even when we are dealing with our colleagues, we need to communicate better with them.

The structure have our communication better is not grammatically natural in this context. Use the verb communicate followed by the adverb better to describe how the communication should improve.

× As a child towards my elders I was very polite always and I used to always wish them, say thank you whenever anyone did a little act simple act of help towards me.

✓ As a child, I was always very polite towards my elders, and I used to wish them well and say thank you whenever anyone did a simple act of help for me.

The adverb always is placed awkwardly after the adjective polite. It should normally come before the adjective: was always very polite. The sentence also needs clearer punctuation to separate its ideas.

× Whenever anyone did a little act simple act of help towards me.

✓ Whenever anyone did a simple act of help for me.

The adjective phrase little act simple act is repetitive and incorrectly arranged. Use one clear adjective before the noun: a simple act of help. The preposition for is more appropriate when describing help given to someone.
