It feels manipulative when politicians and CEOs apologize to people. They prepare a document in advance, and just read it in front of cameras without any feelings. I hate that kind of apologies and I basically believe their apologies are fake. There is no accurate way to tell that. You can just feel it contains sincerity or not.

Hello [이름] [이름]! Your response is clear and opinionated, which makes it engaging and easy to follow. I like how you used a specific example, public apologies by politicians and CEOs, to support your point, as it makes your argument more concrete and relatable. You also acknowledged that it’s difficult to judge sincerity, which adds depth and realism to your answer. To improve, focus on more natural phrasing such as “insincere” instead of “fake” and smoother sentence flow. Overall, your answer is strong, expressive, and well-supported, great job!
