Politeness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve accuracy and completeness. Give a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g., tense and verb forms), and finish the idea. Add one supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it natural and under five sentences.

例: I learned to be polite from my parents. For example, my mother taught me to respect other people by saying please and thank you, and my father showed politeness through his actions, such as apologizing when he made a mistake. Because of their example, I picked up these habits early.

提案: This is a strong answer but can be improved by using a clearer topic sentence and a linking word to connect reasons. Add one specific personal example to make it more concrete and keep it concise.

例: Yes, I think being polite is very important. In my country, respect for older people is a key cultural value, so being polite helps maintain good relationships and shows appreciation. For example, I always greet my grandparents first when I visit, and I use formal language with elders to show respect.

× My mother always say to be respected other people.

✓ My mother always says to respect other people.

The verb 'say' must agree with the third-person singular subject 'my mother', so use 'says'. Additionally, the phrase 'say to be respected other people' is ungrammatical: use the verb 'respect' with the object 'other people' (infinitive 'to respect' is correct after 'says' in this context). Suggestion: use 'My mother always says to respect other people' or better 'My mother always told me to respect other people'.

× And my father also says to

✓ And my father also says so.

The original sentence is incomplete. 'Says' requires an object or clause (what he says). To complete it while keeping present tense third-person singular, add a pronoun or content: 'says so' (referring back to the same idea) or 'also says the same'. Ensure subject-verb agreement is correct: 'my father ... says'.
