Politeness— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear, relevant, and well developed, with a specific explanation about observing adults. However, maintain parallel grammar in the second sentence: use “to use” and “to listen” after “taught me to.” Also, “learned” is more consistent with the spelling used in the first sentence than “learnt.”

예시: I mainly learned to be polite from my parents and teachers. They taught me to respect others, use expressions such as “please” and “thank you,” and listen carefully when people were speaking. I also learned by observing adults, since children often copy the behavior they see around them.

제안: You give a direct opinion and provide effective reasons and an example. However, the final sentence, “So I think well,” is unnatural and does not add meaning. Replace it with a clear concluding sentence, such as “That is why I consider politeness an essential quality.”

예시: Absolutely. I believe politeness is essential because it helps us build positive relationships and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Even a small gesture, such as saying “thank you” or showing respect, can make someone feel valued. That is why I consider politeness an essential quality.

제안: Your answer is relevant, organized, and includes several appropriate situations as well as a contrast involving disagreement. However, “express our values” is not the intended phrase; use “express our views” or “express our opinions.” You could also add a linking phrase such as “For example” to make one situation more specific.

예시: In my opinion, we should be polite in every situation, although it is especially important when meeting someone for the first time, speaking to elderly people, or communicating in a professional setting. For example, even if I disagree with a colleague, I should express my views calmly and respectfully instead of being rude. Good manners help prevent unnecessary tension.

제안: This is a strong, natural answer with a direct topic sentence, specific examples, and an effective concluding result. The ideas are logically connected and remain within the recommended length. To make the answer slightly more vivid, you could include one brief example of when you offered help or greeted an adult.

예시: As a child, I showed politeness by greeting adults respectfully, saying “please” and “thank you,” and offering help when someone needed it. For instance, I would help my grandparents carry things around the house. I was also taught not to interrupt people while they were speaking, and these habits helped me develop good manners.

× They taught me to respect others, used polite expressions like please and thank you and listen when someone was speaking.

✓ They taught me to respect others, to use polite expressions like “please” and “thank you,” and to listen when someone was speaking.

The verbs after taught should have a parallel structure. The sentence lists three actions: to respect, to use, and to listen. Using the same to-infinitive form makes the structure grammatically consistent and clearer.

× So I think well.

✓ So I think politeness is very important.

Well is an adverb that usually describes how someone performs an action, as in think well, meaning think carefully or intelligently. Here, you are expressing an opinion about the importance of politeness, so the sentence needs a clear subject and adjective phrase: politeness is very important.
