Hi, could you help me with my article?

In Japanese, there are 3 differnt kinds of ways to express something to someone with respect.
1.You can hold a people in esteem by describing his acts or his owns with some specific honorific words. This art makes directly his status higher without making your status lower.
2.You can hold a person in esteem by expressing your acts or your own with humility. This art makes indirectly his status higher by making your status lower.
3. You can hold a listener in esteem by using prefixes, suffixes, or special words which originally have their own usages for respect. This art “simply” expresses something to him with respect, without making his status higher or making your status lower.
Thanks.
