Politeness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make the response more natural and grammatically correct, start with a clear topic sentence, and provide one or two specific examples of what your parents taught. Use linking words to connect ideas and keep the answer within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents. For example, they always taught me to say “please” and “thank you,” and to greet elders respectfully. Because of these lessons, I became more disciplined and comfortable interacting with people in different situations.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a clear opinion, correct grammatical errors, avoid repetition and filler words, and give one or two specific reasons or an example to support your view. Use linking words like “because” or “for example.” Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think being polite is very important because it shows respect and helps maintain good relationships. For example, being polite to grandparents and teachers creates a positive atmosphere and makes social interactions smoother, especially at formal events.

× My parents teach me to be polite in front of the people and family.

✓ My parents taught me to be polite in front of people and family.

The context asks how the student learned as a child, so past tense is required. 'teach' is present tense; change to past tense 'taught'. Also 'the people' is unnecessary; use 'people'. Suggestion: Use past simple for completed actions in the past: 'My parents taught me...'.

× It is because of them I become so disciplined.

✓ It is because of them that I became so disciplined.

The result refers to a past development, so 'become' should be past 'became'. Also add 'that' after 'because of them' for clarity. Keep 'It is because of them' present if emphasizing current result, but the clause describing the change should be past. Suggestion: Use 'became' for past change: 'It is because of them that I became so disciplined.'

× They have instructed me and gave me tips to how to deal with society.

✓ They instructed me and gave me tips on how to deal with society.

Mixed past tenses: 'have instructed' (present perfect) and 'gave' (simple past) should be consistent; simple past 'instructed' fits the past context. Also preposition and word order: use 'tips on how to' rather than 'tips to how to'. Suggestion: Keep past simple and correct preposition: 'They instructed me and gave me tips on how to deal with society.'

× He has been politics very important, especially towards, uh, grandparents, uh, guest, other family members and teachers.

✓ Politeness has been very important, especially towards grandparents, guests, other family members, and teachers.

The original sentence has wrong pronoun 'He' and incorrect noun 'politics' for the intended idea. Replace with the noun 'Politeness'. Use plural 'guests' and correct article/list punctuation. Use present perfect 'has been' is okay, but here simple present 'is' would also be acceptable depending on emphasis. Suggestion: Use the correct subject 'Politeness' and plural forms: 'Politeness is very important...'.

× So it is one of the significant, uh, behaviour pattern that is need for all human beings.

✓ So it is one of the significant behaviour patterns that is needed for all human beings.

Number agreement: 'one of the ... patterns' requires plural 'patterns'. 'Need' should be past participle/ adjective form 'needed'. Also 'behaviour' (British) or 'behavior' (American) spelling; keep consistent. Remove filler 'uh'. Suggestion: Use plural after 'one of the' and correct verb form: 'one of the significant behaviour patterns that is needed...'.

× And also it is important, uh, in occasions like formal occasions.

✓ It is also important on occasions such as formal events.

Redundant 'occasions like formal occasions' is repetitive. Use preposition 'on occasions' or 'in situations' and 'such as' for examples. 'Events' fits better than repeating 'occasions'. Suggestion: Simplify and choose correct preposition: 'It is also important on occasions such as formal events.'
