I have learned to be polite as a child as my mother always taught me and made sure that I have my core values and principles in touch. My mother was always there to correct me and so was my father and sisters whenever I said something that is not nice to other people.

How did you learn to be polite as a child?
Pontuação: 74.0Sugestão: Your answer addresses the question and provides relevant details about family influence, but it is slightly repetitive and has some grammar issues. To improve, make a clear topic sentence, avoid repeating the same idea, use correct tense and articles, and add one specific example to illustrate how you were taught. Keep it concise (max 4–5 sentences) and use a linking word when adding detail.
Exemplo: I learned to be polite mainly from my mother, who emphasized saying "please" and "thank you" from a young age. For example, she made me apologise and explain my mistake whenever I interrupted someone, which taught me respect. Later, my father and sisters reinforced these habits by correcting me gently, so politeness became second nature.
Do you think being polite is very important?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: The response is clear and conveys your opinion, but it contains vague or awkward phrases and repetitions. Improve by starting with a concise opinion, then give two specific reasons or an example linked with connectors like 'because' or 'for example.' Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., "open doors," "create opportunities," "make a positive impression"). Keep sentences varied and grammatical.
Exemplo: Yes, I believe politeness is very important because it creates positive first impressions and opens doors to new opportunities. For example, being courteous in interviews or networking events often encourages others to trust you and offer help, which can lead to career or social benefits.
× I have learned to be polite as a child as my mother always taught me and made sure that I have my core values and principles in touch.
✓ I learned to be polite as a child because my mother always taught me and made sure that I had my core values and principles in place.
The sentence mixes present perfect ('have learned') with a past time reference ('as a child') and uses present 'have' for possession where past is required; use simple past 'learned' and 'had' to match the past context. Also replace 'in touch' with the idiomatic 'in place'. Suggestion: use consistent past tense for events that occurred in childhood and use common collocations (in place).
× My mother was always there to correct me and so was my father and sisters whenever I said something that is not nice to other people.
✓ My mother was always there to correct me, and so were my father and sisters whenever I said something that was not nice to other people.
The original has subject-verb agreement and tense inconsistency: 'so was my father and sisters' is incorrect because the compound subject requires 'so were'. Also 'is not nice' conflicts with past context; change to past 'was not nice'. Suggestion: match verb plurality and tense to the subjects and time frame.
× Absolutely yes. I think being polite can take you to places which you can achieve something greater and something better for yourself.
✓ Absolutely yes. I think being polite can take you to places where you can achieve greater and better things for yourself.
Use 'where' instead of 'which' for places and improve noun phrases: 'achieve something greater and something better' is awkward; use 'greater and better things' or a more specific noun. This clarifies meaning and maintains present/future possibility implied by 'can'. Suggestion: prefer 'where' after 'places' and simplify redundant phrases.
× Being polite is a way where you can meet other people and also leave a good impression behind whenever or whoever you talk to.
✓ Being polite is a way in which you can meet other people and leave a good impression on whoever you talk to.
'Way where' is nonstandard; use 'way in which' or 'way to'. 'Leave a good impression behind' is wordy—use 'leave a good impression'. 'Whenever or whoever you talk to' mixes time and person incorrectly; the intended idea is 'whoever you talk to' (whom/whoever as object). Suggestion: use 'in which' and 'whoever' for people, and use concise phrases like 'leave a good impression'.
