Politeness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence, correct grammar (past tense), and add one or two specific supporting details using linking words for coherence. Keep it natural and within 3–4 sentences. For example, say who taught you, how they taught you (rules, examples, or consequences), and one brief example of a polite habit you still use.

Ví dụ: When I was a child, I learned to be polite mainly from my parents and older siblings. For instance, my mother always insisted that we say “please” and “thank you,” and my father taught us to greet guests respectfully. Because of their example, I still habitually hold doors open for others and speak politely to strangers.

Gợi ý: Expand your one-word answer into a short opinion statement with a reason and a brief example. Use linking words (because, so, therefore) to connect ideas and make the response more persuasive and natural. Limit to 2–3 sentences to stay concise.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it helps people feel respected and makes social interactions smoother. For example, saying thank you at work can improve relationships with colleagues and create a friendlier atmosphere.

× I must listen to my mom and my dad and my sisters, also my brother and kind with others.

✓ I had to listen to my mom, my dad, my sisters, and my brother, and be kind to others.

The original sentence has several issues: incorrect modal verb tense ('must' is present and doesn't match past context of learning as a child), missing parallel structure, and incorrect phrase 'kind with others' (should be 'be kind to others'). According to the provided list, the primary error to correct is pronoun and phrase usage and tense consistency. Use 'had to' (past obligation) because the question asks about childhood learning. Use parallel lists with commas and 'and' before the last item. Replace 'kind with others' with 'be kind to others' to use the correct adjective + preposition pattern. Suggestions: use past tense when describing past habits ('I had to'), keep list items parallel, and use 'be kind to' rather than 'kind with'. The corrected sentence reads naturally and matches the past context.
