#29 Speaking Part 2 : Describe a polite person whom you know
How you know him/her
And explain why you think this person is polite
Well, I reckon that it is very hard for us to find a polite person especially among our youth. However, I believe that the most polite person that I've ever known in my life is my young cousin. Because she is very gentle and she has a very great heart.

Her name is Lily. I could vividly remember the first time I met Lily, when my family gathered a family event so we could meet each other. At that time, Lily was so curious about my toy at our house. She wanted to play with my toy so bad, I could see it from her gesture.

So, she talked to me to ask for my permission whether she could play with my toy. I could say that I was amazed with her politeness because at that time, it was very rare for me to be asked about a permission to play my toy. So, I let her to play with my toy and she was very happy. As a matter of fact, after she finished playing with my toy, she didn't forget to say thank you to me. And also, she told me that she was very happy that I let her to borrow it.
My self-correction :
- "she has a very great heart."lebih cocok jika konteksnya adalah a generous heart
- "I was amazed with her politeness" amazed biasanya kolokasi preposisinya adalah at atau by. PREP. at Frances was amazed at her sudden strength. | by I was totally amazed by the brilliance of her paintings.
- "about a permission to play". Kalau ini permission adalah kata benda uncountable. permission noun [ U ], jadi seharusnya adalah about permission to play
- " to play my toy." ini kurang preposisi "with" seharusnya menjadi to play with my toy.
- "let her to play with my toy". Kalau ini inget materi mr. Bernard mengenai key structure make/let/allow. Rumusan kalau let adalah : let+noun+verb 1.
- "let her to borrow it." ini sama dengan struktur poin nomor 5, rumusan menggunakan kata kerja let adalah "let+noun+verb 1". Jadi seharusnya let her borrow it.
