× Actually I'm Thai and for Thai people they have to learn how to be polite since they was a kid because of Thai people very strict with the politeness so most of the parents teach them things when they're kids
✓ Actually I'm Thai, and for Thai people, they have to learn how to be polite since they were kids because Thai people are very strict about politeness, so most parents teach them when they're children.
Multiple pronoun and related agreement issues: 'was a kid' uses singular past 'was' with plural subject 'they' -> use 'were' (subject-verb agreement and correct past tense for plural). 'the parents' and 'them things' are awkward; use 'most parents teach them' and 'children' for formality. Also needed articles and prepositions fixed ('strict with the politeness' -> 'strict about politeness'). Suggestion: make subject and verb number agree, use 'were' for plural past, remove unnecessary articles, and replace informal phrases ('a kid' -> 'children').
× Yes, absolutely. Polite is one of the most important thing in life politeness can make people feel good or bad, it's affected to people's feelings so it's very important to learn.
✓ Yes, absolutely. Being polite is one of the most important things in life; politeness can make people feel good or bad, and it affects people's feelings, so it is very important to learn.
Errors include wrong word form: use 'Being polite' (gerund) rather than adjective 'Polite' as subject. 'thing' should be plural 'things' to match 'one of the'. Run-on sentences and connector issues fixed with punctuation and 'and'. 'it's affected to people's feelings' is incorrect passive/verb choice; use active 'it affects people's feelings'. Suggestion: use gerund for concepts, ensure noun number agreement, and choose correct verb 'affect' with appropriate subject and structure.
× I can say every occasion in life especially with older people or strangers because it's very important to make someone impressed and to make conversations.
✓ I would say every occasion in life, especially with older people or strangers, because it's very important to make a good impression and to start conversations.
Pronoun/phrase issues and collocation errors: 'make someone impressed' is incorrect; use 'make a good impression' or 'impress someone'. 'Make conversations' is unnatural; use 'start conversations'. Also 'I can say' is better as 'I would say' in this context. Suggestion: use correct collocations ('make a good impression', 'start conversations') and appropriate modal phrasing.
× When I was a child, I always taught to do Bao or in Thailand because why it's kind of head down to the older people so that show respect and it's kind of say hello to everyone and use polite words.
✓ When I was a child, I was always taught to perform the wai in Thailand because it involves bowing the head to older people to show respect; it is a way of saying hello to everyone and using polite language.
Multiple tense and verb form problems: 'I always taught' is wrong because the child was the learner; correct passive is 'I was always taught'. 'to do Bao or in Thailand' is unclear; likely 'the wai' (Thai greeting) and requires noun clarification. 'why it's kind of head down' is ungrammatical; use 'it involves bowing the head'. 'so that show respect' missing subject and correct tense -> 'to show respect'. 'it's kind of say hello' -> 'it is a way of saying hello'. Suggestion: use correct passive voice for being taught, clarify cultural term, use gerund forms for actions ('bowing', 'saying'), and ensure subjects and verbs agree.
