Politeness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Speak in complete, grammatically correct sentences and be specific. Start with a clear topic sentence (e.g., “I learned manners mainly from my parents.”), then add 1–2 specific examples using linking words (e.g., “for example,” “they taught me to…”). Avoid fragmented phrases and vocabulary errors like “could manner” and “how about table manner.”

例: I learned manners mainly from my parents. For example, they taught me table manners, such as saying “please” and “thank you,” using a napkin, and waiting for others to finish before leaving the table. They also showed me how to greet elders politely and to use respectful language when asking for things.

提案: Give a direct, complete answer and follow with clear reasons. Use linking words like “because” and “for instance.” Avoid vague fragments (e.g., “when we. Take my life”). State one or two concrete benefits of politeness and illustrate with a short example from your life.

例: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it helps build good relationships and shows respect to others. For example, at work I greet colleagues and listen carefully, which makes teamwork smoother and people more willing to help me.

提案: Provide a clear topic sentence naming specific occasions, then support with examples linked by words like “for example” or “such as.” Avoid hesitations and unclear phrasing. Mention 2–3 concrete occasions (e.g., meeting elders, job interviews, in public) and briefly explain why politeness matters in each.

例: We should be polite in many situations, especially when meeting elders, at work, and in public places. For example, when meeting elders we use formal greetings to show respect; in job interviews politeness creates a good impression; and in public places politeness prevents conflicts and makes social life pleasant.

提案: Answer directly with one clear action and add specific details. Use correct grammar (e.g., “I practiced table manners”) and link details with words like “because” and “for example.” Explain what specific table manners you followed and why they mattered in your culture.

例: As a child I practiced proper table manners because sharing meals is very important in our culture. For example, I learned to wait until everyone was served, to use utensils correctly, and to thank the person who prepared the food.

× When I was a child, my parents taught me could manner.

✓ When I was a child, my parents taught me good manners.

The phrase 'could manner' is incorrect. The speaker likely meant 'good manners'. 'Manners' is a plural noun (politeness behaviors) and 'good' is the correct adjective. Use 'taught me good manners' to express being instructed in politeness.

× For example they showed me how about table manner and how to.

✓ For example, they showed me table manners and how to behave at the table.

'How about table manner' is incorrect. Use 'table manners' (plural) and the verb phrase 'how to behave at the table' to explain the action. Also add a comma after 'For example' for clarity.

× Yes, of course I think like that because being polite is very important thing when we. Take my life.

✓ Yes, of course I think so, because being polite is a very important thing in my life.

'Think like that' is unnatural; use 'think so'. 'Very important thing' needs the article 'a'. 'When we. Take my life' is fragmented and incorrect; intended meaning is 'in my life'. Replace with 'in my life' to show context.

× Umm, I think most of the we should polite is. That we met order and yes, and also when we behave.

✓ Umm, I think most of the time we should be polite, for example when we meet others and when we behave in public.

The original sentence is ungrammatical and fragmented. 'Most of the we should polite is' should be 'most of the time we should be polite'. 'Meet order' is likely 'meet others'. Add 'be' before 'polite'. Clarify 'when we behave' with 'when we behave in public' to complete the idea.

× I think I did a table manner because in our country eating meal is all important thing and with others.

✓ I think I followed table manners because in our country eating meals together with others is a very important tradition.

'Did a table manner' is incorrect; use 'followed table manners' or 'practiced table manners'. 'Eating meal is all important thing and with others' is awkward; correct to 'eating meals together with others is a very important tradition'. Use plural 'meals' and add articles and appropriate adjectives.
