Politeness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the answer more natural and grammatically correct, give a brief example or single specific memory, and keep it concise (1–3 sentences). Use linking words if you add details.

例: My mum taught me to be polite from a young age. For example, she always reminded me to say “thank you” and “sorry,” and once she made me write a thank-you note after a birthday present so I would remember the habit.

提案: Correct grammar and use a clear main idea plus a reason. Avoid repetition and use a linking word to connect reason. Be specific about the effect of politeness.

例: Yes, I think politeness is very important because it helps people get along. For instance, when neighbours are polite to one another, conflicts are less likely and the community becomes friendlier.

提案: Answer directly with a topic sentence and one or two concrete situations. Fix grammatical errors and use linking words to explain benefits concisely.

例: We should be polite in everyday situations, such as at work, at school and with neighbours. This helps maintain self-control and reduces the chance of misunderstandings or arguments.

提案: Use correct tense and a clear structure: topic sentence + one specific example. Avoid wordiness and make the habits concrete and brief.

例: As a child, I showed politeness by always saying “thank you” when I received gifts and apologising when I made a mistake. For example, if I accidentally knocked over someone’s toys, I would apologise and help tidy them up.

× My mum always told me to be polite person since I was young.

✓ My mum always told me to be a polite person since I was young.

Missing indefinite article 'a' before singular countable noun 'polite person'. Add 'a' to make it grammatically correct. Suggestion: use 'a polite person' or 'polite' alone: 'to be polite'.

× My mum always told me to be a polite person since I was young.

✓ My mum always told me to be a polite person when I was young.

Use of 'since' with a past simple reporting verb 'told' is incorrect here; 'since' usually pairs with present perfect. 'When I was young' correctly locates the past time. Alternatively, use present perfect: 'has told me since I was young.'

× She told me that I should always say sorry and thank you to other people, even if they are younger or older than me.

✓ She told me that I should always say sorry and thank you to other people, even if they are younger or older than I am.

Using 'than me' is colloquially common but formally 'than I am' (or 'than I') is correct when comparing subjects. This preserves parallel grammatical structure.

× I think politeness is one of the most important characteristics of human.

✓ I think politeness is one of the most important characteristics of humans.

'Human' as a noun meaning 'people' should be plural 'humans' or use 'human beings'. Also could use 'of human beings' or rephrase 'one of the most important human characteristics.'

× If we polite to each other passing our community will be more happier.

✓ If we are polite to each other, our community will be happier.

Multiple problems: missing verb 'are' after subject 'we' and incorrect comparative 'more happier' (double comparative). Also 'passing' is incorrect; likely unnecessary. Corrected sentence uses 'are polite' and 'happier'. Add comma after subordinate clause.

× As I said before, politeness is one of the most important human qualities.

✓ As I said before, politeness is one of the most important human qualities.

Sentence is correct; no change needed. Included to indicate it's correct and fits tense.

× So we should be polite in every occasions or situation we face at a time.

✓ So we should be polite on every occasion or in every situation we face.

'Every' requires singular noun: 'every occasion' not 'every occasions'. Also preposition choice: 'on every occasion' or 'in every situation'. Removed redundant phrase 'at a time'.

× It would make we it would make us improve our self control and avoiding conflict with each other.

✓ It would help us improve our self-control and avoid conflicts with each other.

Multiple errors: 'make we' is wrong pronoun (use 'us'). Repetition 'it would make we it would make us' removed. Use infinitive 'improve' not 'improve our self control and avoiding'; parallel structure requires 'improve ... and avoid ...'. 'Self-control' normally hyphenated; 'conflict' plural 'conflicts' better.

× I always say thank you when I was received something from others and I always say sorry to other people when I'm doing something wrong or if they're in a situation that is my fault.

✓ I always said thank you when I received something from others, and I always said sorry to other people when I did something wrong or if they were in a situation that was my fault.

Question asked 'What did you do to show your politeness as a child?' so past tense should be used. Change present tense 'say' and 'I'm doing' to past 'said' and 'did'. Also 'was received' is incorrect passive; change to active 'received'. For consistency use past 'were' and 'was' in the subordinate clause.
