Politeness— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer directly by explaining what your parents taught you. Correct the past-tense grammar: use “set a good example,” “polite expressions,” and “they would correct me.” Avoid repeating words, and explain briefly how they corrected you.

Ejemplo: My parents taught me to be polite by setting a good example. They always used polite expressions, such as “please” and “thank you.” If I forgot my manners, they would gently remind me to be considerate.

Sugerencia: Use “being polite,” not “being correct,” and say “showing respect” rather than “showing respects.” Your example is unfinished, so complete the thought by explaining how polite behaviour affects others. Keep the answer focused and concise.

Ejemplo: Absolutely. Being polite is important because it creates a good first impression and helps people build strong relationships. For example, using courteous language and showing respect can make others feel comfortable and valued.

Sugerencia: Give clear examples of occasions, such as meeting someone for the first time or being in public. Replace “be clarified” with “be polite,” and say “a good first impression.” Connect your examples smoothly and avoid repeating the same reason.

Ejemplo: We should be polite in many situations, especially when meeting someone for the first time, because it helps create a positive first impression. It is also important to be considerate in public places, such as on buses or in restaurants.

Sugerencia: Your answer includes relevant examples, but “told me the matters of kindness” is unnatural; say “taught me the importance of kindness.” Use “show respect,” not “show my respects,” and finish the final sentence rather than ending with “and.”

Ejemplo: When I was a child, I showed politeness by saying “please” and “thank you,” as my parents taught me the importance of kindness. I also gave up my seat for older people on the bus as a way of showing respect.

✓ When I was young, my parents always encouraged me to have good manners, and they set a good example by using a plaque expression.

The answer describes what the parents did when the student was young, so the verbs should be in the past tense. Use set rather than say in this sentence. The singular countable noun expression also needs an article: a plaque expression.

× Moreover, if I did something wrong, forget my manners, they will they will correct me.

✓ Moreover, if I did something wrong or forgot my manners, they would correct me.

For a hypothetical or repeated situation in the past, use would in the result clause rather than will. The repeated they will is unnecessary, and the two actions in the if-clause need to be connected with or.

The noun situations needs a linking preposition before the relative clause. Use in which to express that politeness is required in those situations.

✓ For example, when we meet people for the first time, it's important to be polite because it creates a good first impression.

× For example, when we meet people for the first time, it's important to be clarified because it creates a good in first impression.

✓ For example, when we meet people for the first time, it's important to be polite because it creates a good first impression.
