There is no doubt that you’d like to talk to a person who is polite. However, it’s not so easy to be polite all the time. And quite a few people may be impolite to others easily. What should we do to be polite? Here are some tips.
Why do we sometimes forget to smile at others? You won’t get smaller or weaker if you smile first when meeting someone. A sweet smile is the best way to show your kindness and politeness.
“Sorry”, “Please” and “Thank you” are ignored easily. Whenever you need help from someone, say “Please” to him or her. If someone helps you, don’t forget to say “Thank you”. If you do something wrong, say “Sorry”. Just because of these simple but polite words, others would be glad to help you.
When you disagree with others, speak softly instead of getting into arguments. Listen to them and try to understand what they want to say. If someone gets rude（粗鲁的）, keep quiet for a minute. Then he or she will understand that you are not interested in arguments. When he or she calms down, express your opinions with a smile on your face.
There are many tips for being polite to others, but even if you follow all these tips, it’s not enough. You should practice being polite all the time by yourself.
