We say that a person has good manners if he or she behaves politely and is kind and helpful to others. Everyone likes a person with good manners but no one likes a person with bad manners. “Yes” you may say, “but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?”

　 Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do. He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel, either to people or animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady with a young baby. If he knocks into someone, or gets in their way, he says “Excuse me” or “I’m sorry”. He says “Please” when making a request, and “Thank you” when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he doesn’t sit down until the older person is seated. Hr does not interrupt other people when they are talking. He does not talk and laugh loudly in public. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food. .
