Politeness— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer explains the influence of your family and gives relevant examples. Correct the subject–verb agreement in “elders … have,” and replace the unnatural phrase “do such” with “behave that way.” You can also make the list of lessons more concise and link it to how you learned.

Ví dụ: I learned to be polite mainly from the older members of my family. They reminded us to say “please” and “thank you,” and to treat people with kindness. Over time, those habits became part of the way I behave.

Gợi ý: You give a clear opinion and a thoughtful reason. Use “don’t” with the plural subject “people,” and replace “in today’s era” with the more natural “these days.” Avoid repeating “nowadays,” and consider softening the broad claim that many people show no gratitude. “Show kindness to strangers” is more natural than “share … politeness towards strangers.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I think being polite is very important, especially when we meet people we don’t know. A kind word or a simple thank-you can make someone feel appreciated. We also don’t always know what another person is going through.

Gợi ý: Your answer responds directly and clearly expresses that politeness should be consistent. “Always be respectful” is more natural word order than “be respectful always.” Add one or two specific situations, such as speaking with service workers or disagreeing with someone, to develop your answer.

Ví dụ: I think we should be polite in every situation, not just on special occasions. For example, we should speak respectfully to service workers and stay courteous when we disagree with someone. This can prevent misunderstandings and help build good relationships.

Gợi ý: Your answer explains what you were taught, but it does not directly describe what you did as a child. Give a specific behavior, such as sharing, greeting adults politely, or saying “please” and “thank you.” Also, “politeness and respect are ingrained in me” is more natural than “it is instilled in me politeness and respect.”

Ví dụ: As a child, I showed politeness by greeting adults respectfully and saying “please” and “thank you.” I also tried to share my toys with other children instead of keeping everything to myself. My family encouraged these habits, and I still follow them now.
