Politeness— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: 「母や先生から学んだ」という答えの要点はありますが、文が途中で終わっており、文法も不自然です。主語と時制を整理し、誰から何を教わったかを具体的に説明しましょう。たとえば、教わった行動や場面を一つ加えると、答えが明確になります。

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

提案: 意見は示せていますが、その後の理由が文として成立しておらず、内容も途中で途切れています。「丁寧な人は相手を不快にさせない」と言いたい場合は、その考えを正しい文で説明しましょう。意見、理由、簡単な例の順に話すと効果的です。

例: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it helps people feel respected. For example, listening carefully and speaking calmly can prevent misunderstandings.

提案: 高級レストランや目上の人と話す場面を挙げており、質問には答えられています。ただし、「特に～のとき」は “especially when” とし、「目上の人」は “superiors” または “people in senior positions” と表現しましょう。場面に応じた具体的な礼儀の例を加えると、より自然で詳しい答えになります。

例: We should be polite in formal situations, especially when eating at an upscale restaurant or speaking with our superiors. For instance, we should use respectful language and avoid interrupting others.

提案: 子どもの頃に丁寧な言葉を使っていたことは伝わりますが、“I used to” の繰り返しで少し冗長です。また、“brandness” はこの文脈では不自然なので、言いたい内容に応じて “good manners” や “be a good person” を使いましょう。具体的にどんな言葉を使ったかを一つ加えると、答えが明確になります。

例: As a child, I showed politeness by using respectful words. My mother and teacher taught me to say “please” when asking for something and “thank you” when someone helped me.
