Politeness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly in the first sentence and avoid repetition. There are several grammar problems, including “parents and teachers are the ones,” “taught me different values,” and “throughout my life.” Use the past tense consistently because you are describing childhood. Add one specific example to make the answer more effective, and use a linking word such as “especially” or “for example.”

例: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents and teachers. They taught me to greet people respectfully, say “please” and “thank you,” and listen when others were speaking. For example, my parents always reminded me to apologize when I made a mistake.

提案: Give a clear opinion once instead of repeating “yes.” Replace inaccurate expressions such as “be arguable” with “be argumentative” or “start an argument,” and say “some people feel frustrated” rather than “person feel frustrated.” The final sentence is unclear, so explain the result of politeness directly. Support your opinion with a specific situation, such as dealing with a disagreement at work or in public.

例: Yes, I think politeness is very important because it helps people communicate calmly and maintain good relationships. Even when I disagree with someone, I try to listen carefully and express my opinion respectfully instead of starting an argument. This usually makes it easier to solve the problem and leaves a positive impression.

提案: Start with a direct answer, such as “We should be polite whenever we interact with other people.” Correct the grammar in “when a person is in a public place” and “it makes a good impression.” Give more than one relevant occasion and explain appropriate behavior in each one. Use linking words such as “for example” and “also” to organize the details.

例: We should be polite whenever we interact with other people, especially in public places and formal situations. For example, we should speak quietly on public transport, wait our turn in a queue, and address staff respectfully. These behaviors show consideration and create a positive impression.

提案: The answer is relevant and includes useful examples, but use the past tense consistently: “I used,” not “I uses.” Avoid repeating “words” and improve the phrasing to “polite expressions such as...” The question asks what you did as a child, so focus on specific childhood actions rather than general statements about politeness. Add a concrete example and remove fillers such as “uh.”

例: As a child, I showed politeness by using expressions such as “please,” “thank you,” and “sorry.” I also greeted adults respectfully and offered to help my parents at home. For example, if I accidentally interrupted someone, I apologized and waited for them to finish speaking.
