Politeness— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Câu trả lời có nội dung rõ ràng nhưng mắc lỗi ngữ pháp và từ vựng, cấu trúc câu lủng củng và có vài lỗi phát âm/viết (ví dụ “they we met”, “insisted me say”, “I long to be respectful”). Để cải thiện: (1) Sửa ngữ pháp: dùng cấu trúc đúng (e.g. “they made me say” hoặc “they insisted that I say”); (2) Tinh gọn câu và dùng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, tối đa 3–4 câu; (3) Dùng liên từ hợp lý để nối ý (for example, because, so); (4) Cung cấp chi tiết cụ thể hơn về hành vi của cha mẹ (mốc thời gian hoặc ví dụ cụ thể); (5) Kiểm tra phát âm/viết để tránh lỗi từ. Hãy thực hành trả lời theo cấu trúc: topic sentence + 1–2 supporting details + concluding remark.

예시: I learned politeness mainly from my parents. For example, whenever we visited relatives they insisted that I say “please” and “thank you” and taught me not to interrupt people. Because of this training, I try to be respectful in public and consider others’ feelings.

제안: Câu trả lời có ý tưởng tốt và rõ ràng nhưng có lỗi từ/cụm từ không phù hợp (“can be reported” là không đúng ngữ cảnh) và câu hơi chung chung. Để cải thiện: (1) Thay những từ sai bằng từ phù hợp (ví dụ “help build rapport” thay vì “be reported”); (2) Thêm một ví dụ cụ thể (một tình huống cá nhân hoặc công việc) để minh họa; (3) Sử dụng liên từ để làm mạch văn mượt hơn; (4) Duy trì độ dài câu trong 2–4 câu và tránh lặp từ quá nhiều.

예시: Yes, I believe politeness is very important because it shows respect and helps build a friendly atmosphere. For example, saying “please” and “thank you” at work can prevent misunderstandings and make teamwork smoother. In my experience, polite communication often leads to better cooperation.

× For example, whenever they we met relatives or whenever they insisted me say please and thank you and not interrupt people.

✓ For example, whenever we met relatives, they insisted that I say please and thank you and not interrupt people.

The sentence misplaces pronouns and uses incorrect object pronouns. Replace 'they we met' with 'we met' to correctly place the subject and verb. Use 'insisted that I say' instead of 'insisted me say' because 'insist' requires a clause with 'that' plus subject (I) and base verb (say) in formal usage; alternatively 'insisted on my saying' could be used. Also add a comma after the subordinate clause. Suggestion: Practice forming clauses after verbs like 'insist', using 'insist that + subject + base verb' or 'insist on + -ing'.

× So I long to be respectful in public.

✓ So I learned to be respectful in public.

The original uses 'long' which means 'yearn' and does not fit the context of describing past upbringing. The intended meaning is past learning, so use past tense 'learned'. This is a sentence structure and word choice error; ensure verb choice matches intended meaning and tense of surrounding sentences. Suggestion: Choose verbs that reflect the described action and time frame (e.g., 'learned', 'was taught').

× Being polite is very important, absolutely, because it shows respect to others and creates a positive atmosphere.

✓ Being polite is absolutely important because it shows respect for others and creates a positive atmosphere.

Placement of 'absolutely' is awkward; moving it before 'important' reads more naturally. Also, use 'respect for others' rather than 'respect to others'. This is an adjective/adverb placement and preposition preference issue. Suggestion: Place adverbs close to the words they modify and prefer 'respect for' when referring to showing respect toward people.

× For instance, simple phrases like please and thank you can be reported and help avoid misunderstandings in both personal and professional settings.

✓ For instance, simple phrases like please and thank you can be repeated and help avoid misunderstandings in both personal and professional settings.

The word 'reported' is incorrect in this context; the intended verb is 'repeated' meaning said again. This is a verb choice error. Suggestion: Choose verbs that match the intended action; here, 'repeat' fits because phrases are spoken again to be polite.
