On what occasions should we be polite?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: 回答有明确观点,也提到了中国餐桌礼仪这一具体背景,但语法和表达不够自然。“during meals with elderly”应改为“during meals with elderly people”,“wait for the elderly eating, start first”应改为“wait for elderly people to start eating”;同时应使用“a positive atmosphere”,并避免把正式场合说得过于单一。

× Plitness create a comfortable environment, especially when meeting strangers.
✓ Politeness creates a comfortable environment, especially when meeting strangers.
“Politeness”是不可数名词,作主语时看作第三人称单数,因此谓语动词应使用“creates”,不能使用“create”。另外,“Plitness”是拼写错误,应改为“Politeness”。
× I think we should be polite on formal occasions like during meals with elderly.
✓ I think we should be polite on formal occasions, such as during meals with the elderly.
“the elderly”表示“老年人这一群体”,是固定用法,需要使用定冠词“the”。“such as”也比“like”更适合用于正式举例。
× In traditional Chinese table manners, younger people should wait for the elderly eating, start first.
✓ According to traditional Chinese table manners, younger people should wait for the elderly to finish eating before starting.
“wait for somebody eating”结构不正确。应使用“wait for somebody to do something”,表示“等待某人做某事”。此外,两个动作之间需要用“before”连接,形成完整、清晰的句子结构。
× Small actions show respect and create positive atmosphere.
✓ Small actions show respect and create a positive atmosphere.
“atmosphere”是可数名词单数,前面需要使用冠词。这里表示“一个积极的氛围”,因此应使用“a positive atmosphere”。
× When I was a child I used to show my politeness by greeting people and help holding the door open for someone, especially when they are carrying heavy items or seemed in a hurry.
✓ When I was a child, I used to show my politeness by greeting people and helping to hold the door open for someone, especially when they were carrying heavy items or seemed to be in a hurry.
介词“by”后面通常接动名词。前面使用了“greeting”,所以后面的动词也应保持平行结构,改为“helping”。“helping to hold”表示“帮助扶住门”。
× When I was a child I used to show my politeness by greeting people and help holding the door open for someone, especially when they are carrying heavy items or seemed in a hurry.
✓ When I was a child, I used to show my politeness by greeting people and helping to hold the door open for someone, especially when they were carrying heavy items or seemed to be in a hurry.
整句话描述的是童年时的过去经历,因此“when they are carrying”应改为过去进行时“when they were carrying”。同时,“seemed”已经是过去式,和“were carrying”保持时态一致。
× I believe these small actions of candors could demonstrate consideration and respect for others.
✓ I believe these small acts of kindness could demonstrate consideration and respect for others.
“candor”通常是不可数名词,不能使用复数形式“candors”,而且它表示“坦率”,不符合这里“善意行为”的语境。表达“善意的行为”时,应使用固定搭配“acts of kindness”。
