Politeness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer more natural and grammatically correct, start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep answers concise (max 4–5 sentences) and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: My parents taught me to be polite when I was young. For example, they explained why manners are important and showed me what phrases to use, such as “thank you,” “sorry,” and a respectful greeting. If I ever forgot, they would gently remind me, which helped the habit stick.

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence and then provide specific reasons with linking words. Correct grammar and choose precise vocabulary (e.g., “respect” instead of repeating “gain respect”); avoid redundancy about family and religion unless you expand briefly with examples.

Ví dụ: Yes, I believe politeness is very important. Firstly, being polite shows respect to others, which helps build good relationships. Secondly, in my family and religion, polite behavior is seen as a sign of upbringing and moral character, so we try to follow it in daily life.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a clear stance and use linking words to expand briefly. Avoid filler words and repetition; correct tense and plurality (e.g., “on every occasion”). Give one or two specific contexts to illustrate your point.

Ví dụ: We should be polite on all occasions, not only formal events. For instance, I am polite at home with my family and in public when meeting neighbors or teachers, because consistent politeness creates mutual respect.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear past-tense topic sentence and give specific actions you did, using linking words if you add more detail. Use correct verb forms and avoid listing without context—briefly explain one example to make the answer more vivid.

Ví dụ: As a child, I showed respect to both younger and older people in simple ways. For example, I always greeted guests with “Namaste,” thanked them, and apologized if I made a mistake; when relatives visited our home, I would help by offering refreshments as a polite gesture.

× I learned to be polite as a child by my parents because they teach me why I should be polite and what should I say.

✓ I learned to be polite as a child from my parents because they taught me why I should be polite and what I should say.

Errors: incorrect verb tense and word order. 'Learned' is past, so verbs describing parents' actions must be past: 'teach' -> 'taught'. Also indirect question word order must be statement order: 'what should I say' -> 'what I should say'. Suggestion: Keep past tense consistent and use statement order in reported speech.

× Response to them in a polite way by saying thank you or sorry.

✓ I responded to them politely by saying 'thank you' or 'sorry'.

Errors: fragment lacking a clear subject and finite verb. 'Response' is a noun; use past tense verb 'responded' to match context. Also use 'politely' (adverb) to modify the verb. Suggestion: Ensure each sentence has a subject and verb and use the correct word form (verb vs noun).

× Even if I forget, they remind me to say it.

✓ Even if I forgot, they reminded me to say it.

Error: tense inconsistency. The surrounding context is past (childhood), so 'forget' and 'remind' should be past: 'forgot' and 'reminded'. Suggestion: Keep all verbs in the same time frame when describing past events.

× Yes, being polite is very important for me and for my family as well-being polite with the elders, people or younger people will help you to gain respect, to watch yourself and gain the respect towards your family as well.

✓ Yes, being polite is very important to me and to my family as well. Being polite to elders, adults, or younger people will help you gain respect, behave well, and bring respect to your family.

Errors: incorrect prepositions ('important for me' -> 'important to me'); run-on sentence and punctuation issues; awkward phrases ('as well-being polite' incorrect). 'With the elders' should be 'to elders' and 'people or younger people' is redundant; use 'adults or younger people'. 'Watch yourself' is not idiomatic; use 'behave well'. Suggestion: Break long sentences, use correct prepositions, and choose idiomatic verbs.

× So for me polite is most important for my family and my religious.

✓ So for me, politeness is most important for my family and for my religion.

Errors: incorrect word forms and noun choice. 'Polite' (adjective) should be 'politeness' (noun). 'My religious' is incorrect; likely intended 'my religion'. Suggestion: Use correct noun forms and precise nouns for clarity.

× In my view, I don't think there should be any occasions to be polite with any older or younger people.

✓ In my view, I don't think there should be any special occasions required to be polite to older or younger people.

Errors: awkward use of 'occasions' and missing 'special' to convey meaning; preposition 'with' -> 'to' is more natural with 'be polite'. Suggestion: Clarify meaning by adding 'special' and use 'to' for politeness toward people.

× I will always, uh, be polite with them in each and every occasions and that's it.

✓ I will always be polite to them on every occasion.

Errors: subject-verb agreement in 'occasions' with 'every' (use singular 'occasion'); preposition 'with' -> 'to'; remove filler 'uh' and extra commas. Suggestion: Use 'on every occasion' and singular after 'every'.

× As a child, I show all kind of respect to both younger and older people by saying thank you, sorry, welcome and namaste, greeting them whenever they came to our home.

✓ As a child, I showed all kinds of respect to both younger and older people by saying 'thank you', 'sorry', 'you are welcome' and 'namaste', greeting them whenever they came to our home.

Errors: tense inconsistency ('show' should be past 'showed') and pluralization ('all kind' -> 'all kinds' or 'every kind'). Also 'welcome' as an interjection is better expressed 'you're welcome' or 'welcome them'. Suggestion: Keep past tense for childhood actions, use plural 'kinds' or 'every kind', and use idiomatic phrases for greetings.
