As schoolchildren, we must learn good manners. Good manners takes us a long way when we have to live in society. When we meet some one, we must greet them by saying "Good morning or Good afternoon," with a smile. When someone helps us, we must say "Thank you," to show our gratitude. If we want to speak to someone who is very busy we must say "Excuse me", before speaking. We can appreciate somebody's talents by saying "How nice" and "Congratulations", "It is excellent," and so on. When the teacher comes, we must stand up and greet him by saying "Good morning, Sir." If we are well mannered we will be good citizens.
