Politeness— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise, correct grammar, and organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and supporting detail. Avoid repetition ("the the") and awkward phrasing. Use linking words (e.g., "because", "for example") to connect ideas and provide one specific example of what your parents taught you instead of mentioning physical punishment without reflection.

Exemplo: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents, who set clear rules at home. For example, they always reminded me to say "please" and "thank you," and they explained that politeness helps others feel respected. Because of this consistent guidance, I developed polite habits that I still use today.

Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence stating your view, then add two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid informal fillers like "you know" and vague phrases like "never gotten to see before." Use precise vocabulary (e.g., "first impressions," "professional settings").

Exemplo: Yes, I think politeness is very important because it creates positive first impressions and promotes effective teamwork. For instance, in a workplace meeting, polite behavior — such as listening respectfully and thanking colleagues for their ideas — helps people feel valued and encourages cooperation.

× Honestly, during my childhood the the rules of being polite was enforced by my parents.

✓ Honestly, during my childhood the rules of being polite were enforced by my parents.

This sentence has a sentence structure and subject-verb agreement issue: 'the the' is a typo and 'rules' is plural so it requires the plural verb 'were' not 'was'. Suggestion: remove the duplicate 'the' and match the verb to the plural subject (rules -> were).

× They sometimes used physical punishments as well just to make us know the rules.

✓ They sometimes used physical punishment as well just to make us learn the rules.

The original uses 'punishments' (plural OK) but 'make us know the rules' is unnatural and incorrect collocation. Use 'make us learn the rules' or 'teach us the rules'. Also prefer singular 'punishment' or keep plural consistently; here 'physical punishment' is more idiomatic. Suggestion: replace 'make us know' with 'make us learn' or 'teach us'.

× So yes, that's why how I learned being polite as a child.

✓ So yes, that's how I learned to be polite as a child.

The phrase 'that's why how I learned' is ungrammatical — combining 'why' and 'how' is incorrect. Also 'learned being polite' is incorrect verb pattern; use 'learned to be polite'. Suggestion: use either 'that's why I learned to be polite' or 'that's how I learned to be polite'; here 'that's how' fits the context.

× Being polite is very important, especially if you're going into a workplace meeting or meeting new people that you've never gotten to see before.

✓ Being polite is very important, especially if you're going into a workplace meeting or meeting new people that you've never had the chance to see before.

The phrase 'you've never gotten to see before' is informal and nonstandard in this register; 'gotten to see' is a present perfect with 'get to' meaning 'have the opportunity to', which is fine in speech but can be improved to 'had the chance to see' for clarity. Also the sequence 'going into a workplace meeting or meeting new people' repeats 'meeting'; consider rephrasing but here correction focuses on improving the verb phrase. Suggestion: use 'had the chance to see' or 'met before'.

× Also, being polite makes people feel comfortable around you, and it engages people around you thinking they're safe, you know?

✓ Also, being polite makes people feel comfortable around you and makes them feel that they are safe, you know?

The original misuses 'engages people around you thinking they're safe' which is unclear and structurally awkward. 'Engages' is the wrong verb for the intended meaning. Better to repeat 'makes' and use 'feel that they are safe' or 'feel safe'. Suggestion: replace 'it engages people around you thinking they're safe' with 'makes them feel that they are safe' or 'makes them feel safe'.
