Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly by explaining who taught you and how they influenced you. Avoid repetition and unfinished phrases such as “I was going...” and use a clear past-tense structure. Add one specific example of polite behavior you learned from your family.

Ejemplo: I learned to be polite mainly from my father and uncles. They always spoke respectfully to older people and reminded me to say “please” and “thank you.” As a result, I gradually developed the habit of treating everyone politely.

Sugerencia: State your opinion clearly and use natural collocations, such as “an essential quality” and “build relationships,” instead of “fundamental character characteristic.” Complete the final sentence and explain the consequences of being impolite. Use a linking word such as “because” or “otherwise” to connect your reason.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think being polite is extremely important because it helps people build positive relationships. Polite behavior shows respect and makes others feel comfortable. Without it, people may misunderstand us or become unwilling to communicate with us.

Sugerencia: Give a complete answer and correct the word order: say “We should be polite on every occasion” rather than “every occasion should I be polite for.” Explain why politeness is important and include one or two specific situations, such as speaking to teachers, colleagues, or strangers.

Ejemplo: We should be polite on every occasion, especially when we meet new people or speak to our elders. This is because polite language shows respect and creates a friendly atmosphere. Even when we disagree with someone, we should express our opinion calmly and respectfully.

Sugerencia: You provide relevant examples, but use the simple past tense for completed childhood habits: “I served coffee” and “I spoke formally.” Link the examples with a phrase such as “For example,” and add a little context to make the answer more natural and developed.

Ejemplo: As a child, I showed politeness by serving coffee to guests when they visited our home. For example, I would offer drinks to my relatives and speak formally to older people. My parents taught me that these small actions showed respect.

× I was going I was going to make this with my with my father and with my uncles.

✓ I learned to be polite from my father and my uncles.

The original sentence contains repeated words and an incomplete structure. The phrase was going to make this does not express how you learned to be polite. Use learned to be polite from to identify the source of your learning.

× I think being polite is the fundamental character characteristic for a person to go out with people, to make relationships.

✓ I think being polite is an important characteristic for a person to interact with others and build relationships.

The original sentence contains the repeated phrase character characteristic and uses an awkward sentence structure. Use an important characteristic and the parallel verbs interact and build to express the idea more clearly.

× If no polite

✓ If a person is not polite, it is difficult to build relationships.

The original phrase is incomplete because polite is an adjective and needs a form of the verb be. The conditional clause also needs a complete main clause. Use is not polite and add a main clause to complete the meaning.

× I think every occasion should I be polite for because it makes the character of the

✓ I think I should be polite on every occasion because it shows good character.

The original sentence uses incorrect word order: should I is question order, but this is a statement, so use I should. Use on every occasion rather than every occasion should I, and use because only once to introduce the reason. The original sentence is also incomplete after the.

× I was giving coffee to people.

✓ I gave coffee to people.

The question asks what you did as a child, so the simple past is the most appropriate tense for describing a completed past action. Use gave instead of the past continuous form was giving.

× I was speaking formally with elders and people older than me.

✓ I spoke formally with elders and people older than me.

Because the question asks about past actions during childhood, use the simple past spoke to describe the activity. The past continuous was speaking is possible in a specific ongoing situation, but it is less suitable for describing a general past habit here.
