People think that good behaviour depens on age. They think that young people
aren’t as polite as old people, but its’s wrong. Good manners depend only on the
person.
Lately, one of the most important causes of bad manners is because of
mobile phone’s use; we shouldn’t talk loudly or shout on it in social
situations: theatres, cinemas, meetings and we should switch it off. If we need
to keep it because we are expecting an important call, then it’s better to
put it on vibrate mode, so we don’t disturb anyone.
We should never have intimate conversations in front of the other people
or when we’re talking to somebody face-to-face. It’s inappropriate, especially
when we’re in a bank, shops, etc. It’s insulting not to give people who are
serving you your full attention.
Also, we must be careful of other kind of bad manners, for example when
we are a guest in others people house. we always have to offer our help to our
host with the housework: to lay and to clean the table at lunchtime, to make
the bed, to tidy our room. So, when we’re invited in somebody’s house, we
should take a present, we shouldn’t arrive late for lunch or dinner, and the
most important thing, we must never criticize the food; if you don’t like it, I’m
sorry, but you have to eat it, at least a bit of the dish. It’s also very
important not to start eating before everyone else. And we must never eat and
talk at the same time with our mouth full of food. It’s incredibly nasty.
Of course, we must never smoke in public places or public transports. It’s
really a horrible annoying habit.
I also think that we must always say “please” when we ask someone to do
something or say “thanks” when somebody does something for or to you. It’s
better if you say these words smiling. They are very polite expressions.
Actually, if we behave a bit better, we’ll fell a lot of happiness.
