How did you learn to be polite as a child?
分數: 58.0建議: 回答的基本思路清楚,也提供了父母教育和模仿父母这两个细节。不过,“say what I sorry”应改为“say sorry”,“when I made relatives”表达不准确,可能想说“when I met relatives”或“when I made mistakes”。建议使用更自然的句型,并明确说明父母在哪些场合纠正你。
範例: When I was a child, my parents taught me to say “sorry,” “thank you,” and “please.” They often corrected me at the dinner table or when I met relatives. As a result, I learned to be polite by following their example.
Do you think being polite is very important?
分數: 78.0建議: 回答直接,观点明确,并使用了“because”和“For example”进行解释,逻辑较好。需要注意“Absolutely, Being”中的大小写和标点问题;“beneficial for your social life and work relationships”略显正式且不够自然,可以改为“helpful in both social and professional relationships”。还可以加入一个更具体的生活场景,使答案更有个人化特点。
範例: Absolutely. Being polite is important because it makes people feel respected and encourages them to treat you positively. For instance, if I thank a colleague for helping me, they may be more willing to support me in the future. This is helpful in both social and professional relationships.
On what occasions should we be polite?
分數: 42.0建議: 回答涉及了多个场合,但有较多词汇和句法错误,影响了清晰度。“informal stating”应改为“formal settings”,“at ward”可能想表达“at work”,“the mention good relationship”应改为“maintain a good relationship”。建议先直接列出两到三个场合,再分别说明礼貌的原因,避免把太多内容放在一个长句中。

What did you do to show your politeness as a child?
分數: 62.0建議: 回答提供了具体的童年经历、情绪和结果,内容较丰富,也使用了“but”和“because”连接信息。不过,“bowling performance”与后面的“music”不一致,应该是“musical performance”或“piano performance”;“the people who listened to my music”可以更自然地说成“the audience”。此外,开头应直接说明你鞠躬是为了表示礼貌。
範例: As a child, I showed politeness by bowing to the audience after my musical performances. My teacher taught me that this was a way to show respect and gratitude to the people who had listened to me. I felt nervous at first, but I gradually became comfortable with it. Even now, I always bow after performing.
× When I was a child, my parents taught me to say what I sorry, thank you, and please.
✓ When I was a child, my parents taught me to say “I'm sorry,” “thank you,” and “please.”
“what I sorry”缺少系动词,而且“what”不能用于引出这些礼貌用语。表达道歉时应使用完整结构“I’m sorry”。列举直接说出的礼貌用语时,可以用引号分别列出。
× They often corrected me at the dinner table or when I made relatives, so I learned to be polite by watching them.
✓ They often corrected me at the dinner table or when I made relatives, so I learned to be polite by watching them.
“at the dinner table”是固定表达,表示“在餐桌旁”,这里使用定冠词“the”是正确的。因此,这句话本身在该语法点上没有需要修改的地方。
× I believe we should be polite in different situations especially informal stating like at ward or when meeting someone for the first time. For example, you should be polite to the police officer or the teacher to show respect and the mention good relationship while in cultural settings.
✓ I believe we should be polite in different situations, especially in informal settings such as at work or when meeting someone for the first time. For example, you should be polite to a police officer or a teacher to show respect and maintain good relationships, especially in cultural settings.
原句中“informal stating”和“at ward”使短语结构不完整;应使用“informal settings”和“at work”。“the mention good relationship”缺少正确的动词结构,应改为“maintain good relationships”。另外,“especially”前后需要适当的逗号,以使句子层次更清楚。
× For example, you should be polite to the police officer or the teacher to show respect and the mention good relationship while in cultural settings.
✓ For example, you should be polite to a police officer or a teacher to show respect and maintain good relationships, especially in cultural settings.
这里是在泛指任何警察或老师,不是指双方都知道的特定对象,所以使用不定冠词“a”,而不是定冠词“the”。此外,“good relationship”是可数名词,泛指多种良好关系时使用复数“good relationships”更自然。
