All about Good Manners
Good manners show respect for other people. Simple habits, such as saying please and thank you, saying sorry when you have made a mistake, waiting your turn and listening when others speak, make everyday life smoother and kinder.
Manners also depend on the situation. At the table you might wait until everyone is served, and in class you raise your hand before speaking. Being polite to everyone, including people who serve you in shops, shows real respect.
