Politeness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and natural, but it's a little long and slightly repetitive. Aim for a concise topic sentence followed by one or two specific supporting details. Use a linking word to connect ideas and avoid repeating phrases (e.g., “a lot” and “eventually”). Also vary vocabulary (e.g., “imitated” instead of “copy”) to demonstrate range.

Ví dụ: I learned to be polite mainly by imitating my parents, who always modelled good manners at home. For example, they regularly said “please” and “thank you” and explained why politeness matters, so I naturally picked up those habits.

Gợi ý: The response answers the question directly and logically, but it repeats similar ideas and uses some informal phrasing. Make the structure tighter: give a clear topic sentence, one reason with a specific example or consequence, and use linking words (e.g., “because,” “so,” “therefore”). Replace vague phrases like “most of the time” with concrete outcomes.

Ví dụ: Yes, I believe politeness is very important because it helps build positive relationships. For example, when I speak courteously at work, colleagues are more willing to collaborate, which leads to smoother teamwork and less conflict.

× I learned to be polite as a child because my parents are very well mannered people and I would often copy them a lot when I was younger, and I guess those habits eventually rubbed off on me and I became quite a polite child myself.

✓ I learned to be polite as a child because my parents were very well-mannered people and I often copied them when I was younger, and I guess those habits eventually rubbed off on me, so I became quite a polite child myself.

Multiple issues: subject-verb agreement and tense consistency. 'My parents are' should be 'my parents were' to keep past-tense narrative consistent (Present tense shifts confuse timeframe). 'Would often copy them a lot' is redundant and uses modal 'would' unnaturally for habitual past; use simple past 'often copied' instead. Also add hyphen in 'well-mannered' as a compound adjective and replace the long conjunction with a clearer connector 'so'. Suggestion: keep verbs in the same past timeframe, avoid redundant words ('would' + 'a lot'), and use hyphen for compound adjectives.

× I think being polite is very important because if you are rude, it's most likely that people will not like talking to you.

✓ I think being polite is very important because if you are rude, people will most likely not want to talk to you.

'It's most likely that people will not like talking to you' is awkward in register and adverb placement. 'Most likely' should come before the main verb for clearer meaning: 'people will most likely not want to talk to you.' Also prefer 'want to talk' over 'like talking' for naturalness. Maintain present simple conditional structure.

× But when you are polite and when you have good manners, most of the time people would be more interested in talking to you and it just gives an overall good feeling about yourself.

✓ But when you are polite and have good manners, most of the time people are more interested in talking to you, and it just gives an overall good feeling about yourself.

Problems: unnecessary repetition ('when you' twice) and wrong modal 'would' in a general present statement—use present simple 'are' for habitual truths. Also add a comma before the conjunction 'and' to separate clauses. Suggestion: remove redundant words, use present simple for general truths, and keep sentence concise.
