Hello Nikos,
I hope you don't mind me responding for Rob.
Are you referring to the exercise called 'Pronunciation: polite intonation' on screen 16 of module 3.3? I think it must be that exercise.
You are right in thinking that both of those expressions are polite. The reason they are marked as 'impolite' in that exercise is because of the intonation in the recordings. In other words, in the recordings of both sentence 1 and sentence 4, the tone is a little bit aggressive. The difference between the polite and impolite intonations is described on screen 17.
Does that make sense?
All the best,
Kirk
