Politeness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: 「politeness」の発音と綴りに注意し、「I didn't feel like I had to...」のように時制を一致させてください。また、「greet them as uncle or aunt」はやや不自然なので、「call them Uncle or Aunt」と言うと自然です。内容は具体的で、例と結果も含まれているため良い構成です。ただし、冒頭の「Frankly」は必須ではなく、より直接的に答えると効果的です。

Ví dụ: My mother taught me basic manners when I was young. For example, whenever I met her colleagues, I had to greet them politely, call them Uncle or Aunt, and say goodbye before leaving. As a result, I learned to be considerate of other people’s feelings.

Gợi ý: 「politeness」の発音を明確にし、「the first impression we give others」より「the first impression we make on others」のほうが自然です。「I hold myself to a high standard」は適切ですが、具体的な場面を1つ加えると説得力がさらに高まります。逆接の「but」は効果的に使われており、3文で簡潔にまとまっています。

Ví dụ: Yes, politeness is very important because it shapes the first impression we make on others. I try to remain polite and respectful, especially when I meet someone for the first time. Even if a person seems friendly, I may change my opinion of them if they have poor manners.

Gợi ý: 「politeness」を使い、「It shouldn't change depending on who we are talking to」のように表現してください。「their attorneys」は質問への回答として意味が通らないため、「the other person's age or status」などに置き換える必要があります。また、「young people, the elderly, or strangers」のように並列を明確にし、駅での例は「give up our seats to senior citizens and stand on one side of the escalator」と具体的に言うと自然です。最後の文は内容が不明瞭なので、短く正確にまとめましょう。

Ví dụ: We should be polite at all times, regardless of who we are talking to. This is especially important when speaking to elderly people, strangers, or people in formal situations. For example, on public transportation, we should give up our seats to people who need them and avoid making too much noise.

Gợi ý: 過去の習慣について述べているため、「I've always tried」より「I always tried」または「When I was young, I tried」が文脈に合います。「witters」は「waiters」、「tiday unclapped」はおそらく「tidily unclapped」ではなく、「tidied up my leftovers」など、意味が伝わる表現に直してください。また、食べ残しを片付けるという行動は良い具体例なので、「before leaving the restaurant」など結果や場面を明確にすると、より自然で効果的です。

Ví dụ: When I was young, I tried to be considerate in restaurants. I noticed that some customers left their tables messy for the waiters to clean, so I always tidied up my leftovers and pushed my plate to one side before leaving. It was a small gesture, but I thought it showed respect for the staff.

× Frankly, I didn't feel like I have to learn pluckeness from scratch as a kid.

✓ Frankly, I didn't feel like I had to learn pluckeness from scratch as a kid.

Because the main verb is in the past tense, have should be backshifted to had in the reported thought. Use had to when describing an obligation that existed in the past.

× For example, when I met her colleagues, I had to greet them as uncle or aunt and said goodbye when I left.

✓ For example, when I met her colleagues, I had to greet them as uncle or aunt and say goodbye when I left.

After the modal-like expression had to, all coordinated verbs should use the base form. Therefore, said must be changed to say: had to greet and say.

× It is a valuable quality whether we talk to young people the elderly or strangers.

✓ It is a valuable quality whether we talk to young people, the elderly, or strangers.

Items in a series should be separated with commas, and the final item should be introduced by or. This makes the alternatives clear and grammatically complete.

× When I was little eating in restaurants, I would tiday unclapped my leftovers neatly before waiters came over.

✓ When I was little and ate in restaurants, I would tidy up my leftovers neatly before the waiters came over.

When I was little eating in restaurants is an incomplete and awkward time clause. Adding and ate creates a complete parallel structure with the subject I. The sentence also needs the verb phrase tidy up before the object my leftovers.
