Politeness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Ответ не завершён, а выражение «this one type of person» звучит неестественно и не объясняет, чему именно вас учили. Дайте прямой ответ, назовите конкретный совет мамы или учителя и используйте прошедшее время: например, «taught», а не «touch».

例: I learned to be polite mainly from my mum and my primary school teacher. They taught me to say “please” and “thank you” and to listen when other people were speaking.

提案: Выражайте мнение прямо, но избегайте повторения «it's very important». Добавьте один конкретный результат вежливого общения. Исправьте грамматику: вместо «when you just going somewhere» скажите «when you go out» или «when you are out».

例: Yes, definitely. Being polite helps people communicate respectfully, whether they are at work or out in public. It can also prevent small misunderstandings from turning into arguments.

提案: Назовите несколько ситуаций и приведите конкретный пример, но не повторяйте одну и ту же мысль в каждом предложении. Уберите самокоррекцию «you need you should» и используйте более естественные выражения: «when speaking to shop assistants» и «when talking to family».

例: We should be polite in most everyday situations, especially when speaking to people who are helping us, such as shop assistants. It’s also important to speak respectfully to family members, even when we disagree.

提案: В ответе есть подходящие примеры, но перечисление перегружено повторяющимся «when». Сформулируйте прямой ответ и добавьте один конкретный поступок. Вместо «elder people» естественнее сказать «older people» или «older adults».

例: As a child, I showed politeness by speaking respectfully to older people, including my parents and relatives. I also tried to help my teachers, for example, by carrying books or tidying the classroom.

× and touch us to be

✓ and taught us to be polite

The speaker is describing what the teacher did in the past, so the past-tense form taught is needed. Touch has a different meaning and is not the correct past-tense verb here.

× when you just going somewhere

✓ when you are just going somewhere

The present continuous requires a form of be before the -ing verb. Add are to agree with you.

× you need you should be polite with workers there

✓ you should be polite with the workers there

Need and should are repeated as competing modal constructions in this sentence. Use one modal verb to express the advice clearly.

× be polite with workers there

✓ be polite to the workers there

The usual preposition after polite when describing respectful behaviour toward someone is to, not with.

× You always should be polite

✓ You should always be polite

The adverb always normally comes after the modal verb should and before the main verb be.

× elder people

✓ older people

Elder is generally used before a family relationship or as a noun. Older is the natural adjective when referring generally to people of greater age.
