How did you learn to be polite as a child?
分數: 64.0建議: Improve clarity, grammar and coherence. Begin with a clear topic sentence, use correct verb tenses and reduce hesitations. Add one or two specific supporting details with linking words (e.g., “for example”, “also”) and keep the answer within 3–4 sentences. Avoid filler sounds like “uh.”
範例: I learned to be polite mainly at school and at home. For example, teachers taught us manners in class, and my parents corrected me when I interrupted others. Also, children’s programs on TV showed polite behaviour, which reinforced what I learned.
Do you think being polite is very important?
分數: 40.0建議: Give a direct, coherent opinion with clear reasons and examples. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No), then explain why using linking words (e.g., “because”, “however”), and provide a short specific example. Correct grammar: use adjectives/adverbs properly (polite, politeness) and avoid vague phrases.
範例: I don’t think being polite is always necessary because some people may take advantage of kindness. For example, if someone is being rude or dishonest, it can be better to be firm rather than overly polite. However, in most social situations, politeness helps communication and shows respect.
× At school, our teachers always, uh, teach us to be polite and moreover, at home from parents and TV serials, we also learned that politeness is very necessary for our life and people are nicer.
✓ At school, our teachers always taught us to be polite, and moreover, at home from our parents and TV serials we also learned that politeness is very important in our lives and makes people nicer.
Mixed tense use and word choice: 'teach' should be past 'taught' to match 'learned'. Use consistent past tense because describing childhood. 'Learnt/learned' is fine but keep consistent. 'Very necessary for our life' is awkward; use 'very important in our lives'. Add 'our' before 'parents' and change 'people are nicer' to 'makes people nicer' for clarity and correct subject. Also remove filler 'uh' and fix punctuation. Suggestion: Keep verb tenses consistent when describing past events, use appropriate noun phrases ('our parents', 'our lives'), and use verbs to show cause ('makes people nicer').
× No, I don't think so that polite is always necessary.
✓ No, I don't think that being polite is always necessary.
Incorrect sentence structure and missing gerund: 'polite' is an adjective and needs a noun or gerund form 'being polite' after 'think that'. Also remove redundant 'so' after 'don't think'. Suggestion: Use 'think that' plus a clause with 'being' when referring to the state of being polite.
× Sometimes it's very difficult thing and awkward situation.
✓ Sometimes it is very difficult and awkward.
Wordiness and incorrect noun insertion: 'difficult thing and awkward situation' is unnatural. Use adjectives to describe the situation directly: 'very difficult and awkward.' If a noun is needed, say 'a very difficult and awkward situation.' Suggestion: Choose either adjective form or include the article 'a' and 'situation' to make it grammatical.
× People's uh with the peoples which are not able to the politeness.
✓ Some people are not able to be polite.
Incorrect and confused pronoun and noun forms: 'People's uh with the peoples which are not able to the politeness' is ungrammatical. Use a clear subject 'some people' and the verb phrase 'are not able to be polite.' Avoid 'which' for people; use 'who' if needed. Remove unnecessary articles 'the'. Suggestion: Keep subject and verb clear: 'Some people are not able to be polite' or 'People who are not able to be polite.' Also avoid fillers like 'uh.'
× We should not polite with him.
✓ We should not be polite to him.
Missing verb 'be' after modal 'should' and incorrect preposition: After 'should' use base verb 'be' to form 'should not be polite.' Also use preposition 'to' rather than 'with' in this context. Pronoun 'him' is acceptable if referent is male; otherwise use 'them.' Suggestion: After modal verbs, use the base form of the verb ('should not be'), and choose appropriate prepositions ('polite to someone').
