Politeness— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence saying how you learned politeness, then give one or two specific examples. Avoid repetition and minor grammar errors (e.g., ‘when when’, tense consistency). Use linking words (e.g., ‘for example’, ‘so’) to connect ideas and keep answers to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents, who always emphasized respect for others. For example, they taught me to offer help to older people, so I often carry bags for elderly neighbors. Because of their example, being considerate feels natural to me.

Sugestão: Answer the question directly and avoid wrong word choices (e.g., ‘politics’ instead of ‘politeness’). Give a clear reason and a specific, relevant example. Use linking words (e.g., ‘because’, ‘for example’, ‘therefore’) and keep sentences concise. Also try to vary vocabulary (e.g., ‘considerate’, ‘respectful’).

Exemplo: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it shows respect and helps build good relationships. For example, if a colleague needs assistance, offering help politely makes teamwork smoother and creates a friendlier atmosphere.

× Although it is really hard to raise a child, my parents did a great job, especially towards older people.

✓ Although it was really hard to raise children, my parents did a great job, especially in teaching me to respect older people.

The original mixes present tense 'is' with past context about being raised; use past tense 'was'. Also 'a child' is awkward because speaker refers to their own upbringing — use plural 'children' or rephrase to 'being a child'. 'Towards older people' is an incorrect prepositional choice and phrasing; 'in teaching me to respect older people' is clearer. Suggestion: keep tense consistent (past) and use appropriate prepositions and clearer phrasing.

× For example, when when an elderly woman asks me for carrying her baggage, I would help her.

✓ For example, when an elderly woman asks me to carry her baggage, I help her.

The phrase 'asks me for carrying' is incorrect. After 'ask someone' the correct structure is 'ask someone to do something' so use the infinitive 'to carry'. Also remove the duplicated word 'when'. Use present simple 'asks' with 'I help' to describe a habitual action; avoid conditional 'would' unless describing hypothetical situations. Suggestion: use 'asks me to carry' and consistent habitual tense.

× I believe politics is a very crucial in our lives because to be polite means that you care about people and show respect to them.

✓ I believe politeness is very important in our lives because being polite means that you care about people and show them respect.

The original mistakenly uses 'politics' instead of 'politeness' and adds an unnecessary article 'a' before 'very crucial'. Replace with the noun 'politeness' and the adjective phrase 'very important'. Also change 'to be polite means that you care' to the gerund 'being polite means' for smoother structure and change 'show respect to them' to 'show them respect' which is more natural. Suggestion: choose correct noun ('politeness') and correct article/adjective usage, and use gerund for definitions.

× For instance, when someone asks for your help, you should help them.

✓ For instance, when someone asks for your help, you should help them.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable as written. It uses present simple to express a general truth and the modal 'should' for advice. No correction needed. Included here to confirm tense fits the context.
