A person who is very polite to others is said to have good manners. Generally, such a person is respected by people around him. He shows care to others, and does his best to make them comfortable.
As the saying goes, “The first impression (印象) is the best impression.” When we meet a person for the first time, it’s that person’s manners that will impress us. The manners we learn as children stay with us throughout our lives. Good manners are the ones our parents and teachers teach us, and we can make them part of our personality. It’s very important to teach good manners to children when they are young so that they grow up to become polite and pleasant. Childhood is the best time to learn good manners.
Good manners cost us nothing but can help us get many things. They help us win friends and conquer our enemies. They can help make the world a happier place by reducing (减少) arguments and helping people avoid fights. Whether you’re in business, service or education and whatever kind of life you lead, good manners are helpful.
Everyone likes a person who speaks and acts politely and treats others respectfully. Such a person is always ready to understand and to help other people. He also forgets the wrong others do to him.
Value good manners, and teach them to your children from an early age.

Most (大多数) English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and a family name. For example (例如), my full name (全名) is Ann Alan Green. Ann is my first name. Alan is my middle name. Green is my family name. The given name comes first; the family name comes last.

【推荐3】There are a lot of impolite behaviors in public transport in the world, such as eating and drinking, lying down, playing loud music, manspreading and so on.
Manspreading is used to describe the posture of men who open their legs too wide and take up neighboring seats.
In Spain some signs are put up in the buses to try to discourage the practice. It is said that the new signs are intended to remind people to respect the space of all bus passengers.
The bus company came up with the suggestion in partnership with a women’s group. They demanded online that such signs must be placed. They said, “All public transport has signs explaining that room needs to be made for pregnant women, people with babies, older people and the disabled. But there’s something that affects all of us, especially every time we use public transport: manspreading.”
Manspreading is also common on the underground. To stop people using the posture that makes others uncomfortable, three years ago, the New York subway began to work out the problem with a set of activities called “Stop the spread please. It’s a space problem.”
In an effort to further clean up the underground, and to make the journey more comfortable for pregnant ladies and those with children, women-only carriages have been introduced to some Chinese cities’ underground during rush hours. They tried to provide the service for the public, with each train having one “ladies-first” car. Male passengers are encouraged to avoid the cars during morning and evening rush hours.
“We hope that every passenger can enjoy a happy and comfortable journey. Travel will be happier, if we treat others with good manners,” a leader of an underground company said.
