Politeness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve accuracy and clarity. Start with a clear topic sentence directly answering the question, then give 1–2 specific supporting details. Correct verb usage (learned, taught), and replace incorrect words (“played”, “grate”) with appropriate ones (“polite”, “grateful” or “respectful”). Use linking words such as “for example” or “for instance” correctly and avoid repetition.

例: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents and teachers when I was a child. For example, my parents always reminded me to say “please” and “thank you,” and my teacher taught the class to listen respectfully when others were speaking.

提案: Make the answer more coherent and grammatical. Begin with a clear opinion sentence, then give two concise reasons with linking words (because, and, also). Use correct verb forms and more precise vocabulary (e.g., “social interactions,” “reflects a person’s character,” “build relationships”). Avoid long comma splices—use full sentences or conjunctions.

例: Yes, I think being polite is very important. It helps in social interactions because it shows respect for others, and it also reflects a person’s character, which makes it easier to build good relationships.

提案: Provide a concise direct answer and specific examples. Correct vocabulary errors (“plied” → “polite”) and improve sentence structure by splitting into two sentences or using linking words. Mention a few concrete occasions (meetings, interviews, family events) to show variety and specificity.

例: In my opinion, we should be polite most of the time, especially when meeting someone for the first time. For example, in job interviews, family gatherings, or when talking with neighbors, politeness helps create a positive first impression.

提案: Clarify and correct expressions; answer with one clear statement and one or two specific actions. Fix word choice (“place”→“please”, “grated”→“grateful” or “show respect”) and grammar. Use simple, correct sentences and include a brief example of behavior (helping, using polite phrases).

例: As a child, I always tried to say “please” and “thank you” to show politeness. I also helped my parents with small chores and greeted neighbors politely to show my respect.

× When I was a child I learned to be played by my parents and teachers.

✓ When I was a child I was taught manners by my parents and teachers.

The original uses 'learned to be played', which is ungrammatical. This is a sentence structure and word choice error (use of wrong verb 'played'). The correct passive phrase is 'was taught' and 'manners' is the appropriate noun. Suggestion: use 'was taught' for receiving instruction and choose the correct noun (manners, polite behavior).

× They taught me to be played to everyone, for example, I need to respect anyone else and grate to people I know.

✓ They taught me to be polite to everyone. For example, I needed to respect others and be grateful to people I knew.

Multiple issues: 'to be played to everyone' is wrong verb usage; 'anyone else' and 'grate' are incorrect word choices and pronoun use. Fix by using 'polite to everyone', correct tense consistency ('needed' to match past 'taught'), use 'others' instead of 'anyone else', and 'be grateful' rather than 'grate'. Suggestion: use accurate verbs and pronouns and keep past tense when describing childhood lessons.

× Yes, I do. Being polite is very important not only for social attitudes, but also show the personality of someone, it will be important to get along with anyone.

✓ Yes, I do. Being polite is very important not only for social interactions, but it also shows a person's character and helps you get along with others.

Errors include incorrect noun 'social attitudes' (use 'social interactions'), missing verb agreement ('also show' should be 'also shows'), awkward pronouns ('someone' -> 'a person's'), and 'anyone' inappropriate here ('others'). Maintain present tense and subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: ensure verbs agree with subjects and choose clearer nouns/pronouns.

× In my opinion, we should be plied all the time, especially when we meet someone we never know, we should be plied to maintain positive first impression.

✓ In my opinion, we should be polite all the time. Especially when we meet someone we do not know, we should be polite to make a positive first impression.

'Plied' is incorrect word choice; should be 'polite'. Also 'we never know' is wrong tense/wording; use 'we do not know'. 'Maintain positive first impression' lacks article and verb form; use 'make a positive first impression'. Suggestion: use correct adjective 'polite', proper negative present tense, and include articles.

× When I was a child, I was taught to say place and thank you to everyone.

✓ When I was a child, I was taught to say 'please' and 'thank you' to everyone.

The word 'place' is a misspelling of 'please' (word choice). Also the sentence is otherwise fine in past tense passive. Suggestion: use correct spelling for set phrases 'please' and 'thank you'.

× Was more I really grated to someone I know to let them know my respect.

✓ Moreover, I was really grateful to people I knew to let them know my respect.

This sentence has multiple errors: 'Was more' should be 'Moreover' (sentence connector), 'grated' is wrong word form - should be 'grateful', tense consistency with past 'I know' -> 'I knew', and overall sentence structure is awkward. The corrected version keeps past tense and uses appropriate lexis. Suggestion: use correct connectors and adjectives, and keep past tense consistent.
