How did you learn to be polite as a child?
考生
I learned to be polite mostly from my parents. They always reminded me to say thank you and please, and they set a really good example from being polite to themselves. Politeness was a big part of our family values, so it just has become second nature to me.

分数: 88.0建议: 回答自然且内容完整,但可提高细节具体性与句式多样性。建议:1) 用一到两句具体例子说明父母如何示范(例如具体情境或对话)。2) 使用连词增强衔接(例如“for example”,“so”替换或补充)。3) 控制句子数量与长度,避免重复类似表达。
示例: I learned to be polite mostly from my parents. For example, whenever guests came over my mother always greeted them warmly and my father would say "please" and "thank you" after every favor. Because of such daily routines, politeness became a natural habit for me.

分数: 86.0建议: 回答直接且观点明确,但可增加具体例子或比较以增强说服力。建议:1) 给出具体场景说明礼貌的作用(例如工作面试、公共交通)。2) 使用连接词(e.g. "for instance", "therefore")使论述更连贯。3) 避免在开头重复相同句子,尝试用不同表达加强语言多样性。
示例: Absolutely, I believe politeness is very important because it shows respect and facilitates cooperation. For instance, in job interviews polite manners can create a positive first impression, and on public transport saying "excuse me" helps avoid conflicts. Therefore, being polite often makes daily interactions smoother.
× They always reminded me to say thank you and please, and they set a really good example from being polite to themselves.
✓ They always reminded me to say 'thank you' and 'please', and they set a really good example by being polite to others.
原句中“from being polite to themselves”用法不当且意义不清。这里想表达父母以礼貌对待他人的方式树立了榜样,应使用介词短语“by being polite to others”表示通过怎样做来做出榜样。属于介词使用与句子结构问题,需改为“by + 动名词”来表达方式,同时将“themselves”改为“others”以符合语境。建议:用“by + V-ing”来说明方式,并检查代词指代是否恰当。
× Politeness was a big part of our family values, so it just has become second nature to me.
✓ Politeness was a big part of our family values, so it just became second nature to me.
原句“so it just has become second nature to me.”在上下文中描述过去形成的习惯,应使用一般过去时而不是现在完成时。使用过去时“became”更符合句子中已有的过去时态“was”。这是时态使用问题(现在时/过去时不一致)。建议:保持时态一致,若叙述过去习得的行为,用一般过去时。
