Politeness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: 시제는 과거의 경험을 말하므로 ‘I've learned’보다 ‘I learned’가 적절합니다. ‘she taught about salutation’은 목적어와 표현이 어색하므로 ‘my mother taught me how to greet people politely’처럼 구체적으로 말하세요. 또한 ‘mister or miss’보다는 상황에 따라 ‘Mr. or Ms. + 성’ 또는 ‘polite forms of address’라고 표현하는 것이 자연스럽습니다. 답변은 배운 사람, 배운 행동, 구체적인 예시의 순서로 정리하면 더 명확합니다.

Ví dụ: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents when I was a child. They taught me to greet adults respectfully and use polite forms of address, such as “Mr.” or “Ms.” In addition, they reminded me to say “please” and “thank you” in everyday situations.

Gợi ý: 첫 문장은 의미가 분명하지만 ‘in people’s life’는 ‘in our lives’가 더 자연스럽습니다. 두 번째 문장은 소유격과 연결이 부정확하므로 ‘people may feel offended’처럼 주어와 동사를 간단히 구성하세요. ‘felony’는 중범죄라는 지나치게 강한 표현이므로 ‘serious conflicts’ 또는 ‘arguments’가 문맥에 더 적절합니다. 중요성에 대한 이유와 일상적인 결과를 연결하면 내용이 더 효과적입니다.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think politeness is extremely important in our daily lives. When people treat each other respectfully, they can communicate more comfortably and avoid unnecessary conflicts. On the other hand, rude behavior may offend others and damage relationships.

Gợi ý: ‘The representative occasion’은 부자연스러우므로 ‘One important occasion’이라고 하세요. 면접관이 점수를 감점한다는 내용은 가능하지만 ‘might deduct points’ 또는 ‘might form a negative impression’이 더 자연스럽습니다. ‘in debate’는 ‘during a debate’가 적절하며, ‘diverse opinion’은 ‘different opinions’로 고쳐야 합니다. 면접과 토론을 연결할 때 현재 답변처럼 ‘In addition’을 사용한 점은 좋지만, 각 상황의 이유를 더 구체적으로 설명하세요.

Ví dụ: We should be polite in formal situations, especially during a job interview. For example, greeting the interviewer respectfully and listening without interrupting can create a good impression. In addition, politeness is important during debates because it allows people to express different opinions without turning the discussion into an argument.

Gợi ý: ‘saluted to adults’는 군대식 경례의 의미가 강하므로 일반적인 인사라면 ‘greeted adults politely’가 적절합니다. 과거의 습관이므로 ‘give’는 ‘gave’로 고치고, ‘In tradition’은 ‘As a tradition’ 또는 ‘In my family’로 표현하세요. ‘Adults were primarily satisfied with it’은 어색하므로 ‘They appreciated it’이라고 말하는 것이 자연스럽습니다. 교사에게 선물을 준 이유와 결과를 연결하면 더 구체적이고 효과적인 답변이 됩니다.

Ví dụ: As a child, I always greeted adults politely whenever I met them. I also said “please” and “thank you” and tried not to interrupt them when they were speaking. In my family, we sometimes gave our teachers small birthday gifts to show our gratitude.
