Manners

We live in the society, so we should respect each other and be polite. I have learnt it at school and in my family. From the very childhood we are told not to do something or on the contrary do something. :) That wasn’t just talk, that was the way of teaching good manners. For example: we were taught to say magic words as “thank you”, “please”, “you are welcome”, “not at all”, “hello” and “goodbye”… They are really magic - they create a good impression. Or the other example is: you should let the older people sit on your chair, if there is no any. It is a way of showing respect to them.  At school pupils are said to stand up, when a teacher comes in the classroom. It is a respectful greeting.  My Grandma taught me to wear only classic clothes, when you are going to the theatre.  My Mom always says to me not to point at people or something. It is not acceptable, and in case of people, it could be [|offensive].

I've read the article about the culture of small talks in the USA and the UK. Check it out: " [|Is small talk different in the US and UK? Yes!] [|"]
