Politeness— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and use correct grammar and sentence structure. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct tense and article use (e.g., “the first school” → “the first school”) and reduce redundancy.

Exemplo: My family taught me to be polite from a young age because they emphasized good manners at home. For example, my parents encouraged me to say “please” and “thank you,” and my neighbors also modeled respectful behavior, which reinforced what I learned.

Sugestão: State your opinion clearly, then give two specific reasons linked with connectors. Avoid fillers (umm) and use conditional phrasing for exceptions. Use singular/plural and articles correctly and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, I think being polite is very important because polite behavior helps people build good relationships and earn respect. For instance, polite communication can improve teamwork at work. However, in some situations you should set boundaries instead of being overly accommodating, because others might take advantage of you.

× Every child first school is their home, so I learn to be polite as a child from my family 'cause they used to teach me different kind of manners in different kind of situation and politeness is one of them and next thing is society.

✓ Every child's first school is their home, so I learned to be polite as a child from my family because they used to teach me different kinds of manners in different kinds of situations, and politeness was one of them; the next influence was society.

Multiple errors: 1) Possessive noun needed: 'Every child's first school' (Grammar problem type 22: Article errors/possessive noun). 2) Tense consistency: use past tense 'learned' and 'was' because referring to childhood (Grammar problem type 5: Past tense issue). 3) Number agreement with 'kind': plural 'kinds' and 'situations' (Grammar problem type 1: Singular and plural issue). 4) Use 'because' instead of informal '’cause' for formal grammar and clarity (Grammar problem type 16: Incorrect conjunction use). 5) Sentence structure: run-on sentence fixed with clearer punctuation and splitting ideas (Grammar problem type 26: Sentence structure errors). Suggestions: use possessive forms for 'every child', keep past tense when describing past events, pluralize count nouns, use full conjunctions, and break long sentences into clauses with commas or semicolons.

× so I learn to be polite as a child from my family 'cause they used to teach me different kind of manners in different kind of situation and politeness is one of them and next thing is society.

✓ so I learned to be polite as a child from my family because they used to teach me different kinds of manners in different kinds of situations, and politeness was one of them; the next influence was society.

Past events require past tense verbs: 'learned' and 'was' instead of present 'learn' and 'is'. Using past tense keeps time reference consistent. Suggestion: when describing past upbringing, use past tense verbs throughout.

× they used to teach me different kind of manners in different kind of situation

✓ they used to teach me different kinds of manners in different kinds of situations

Countable nouns need correct plural forms: 'kinds' and 'situations' should be plural when preceded by 'different'. Suggestion: use plural for 'kind' and 'situation' in this context.

× Every child first school is their home

✓ Every child's first school is their home

Possessive form is required: 'Every child's first school' indicates the school belonging to each child. Suggestion: add 's to 'child' to show possession.

× 'cause they used to teach me different kind of manners

✓ because they used to teach me different kinds of manners

Avoid informal contraction '’cause' in formal answers; use 'because'. Also ensures clarity and formality. Suggestion: use 'because' in spoken test responses for clearer grammar.

× and politeness is one of them and next thing is society

✓ and politeness was one of them; the next influence was society

This was a run-on sentence with inconsistent tense and unclear connectors. Change 'is' to 'was' for past context, and rephrase 'next thing is society' to 'the next influence was society' for clarity. Suggestion: break ideas into clauses and use clear nouns like 'influence'.

× Being polite is very important as a human being 'cause, umm, people prefer polite people over rude people and it creates a sense of respect for yourself too.

✓ Being polite is very important as a human being because people prefer polite people over rude people, and it creates a sense of self-respect.

Main issue is style and minor redundancy: 'self-respect' is more natural than 'respect for yourself'. Also remove filler 'umm' and replace '’cause' with 'because' (Grammar problem type 16: Incorrect conjunction use). Tense is present and correct (Grammar problem type 6: Present tense issue not triggered). Suggestion: avoid fillers and redundancy; use concise phrases like 'self-respect'.

× But there are some situation you shouldn't be polite 'cause people will take advantage of you.

✓ But there are some situations when you shouldn't be polite because people will take advantage of you.

'Situation' should be plural 'situations' (Grammar problem type 1: Singular and plural issue). Also add 'when' after 'situations' for correct clause formation (Grammar problem type 26: Sentence structure errors), and replace '’cause' with 'because' for formality (Grammar problem type 16). The future 'will take advantage' is acceptable because it describes a typical result; verb tense is fine. Suggestion: pluralize 'situations' and use 'when' to connect clauses.
