‘Good manners make a person’: this is a well-known saying. A person who is polite and thoughtful towards others is considered to have good manners. Such a person respects elders, behaves courteously with people of his own age and treats younger people kindly. He always cares about the comfort and happiness of others.

Everyone likes a person who speaks politely and treats others with respect. Such a person tries to understand other people’s feelings and is always willing to help whenever possible. He does not hold grudges for long and is ready to forgive the mistakes of others.

Good manners cost nothing, yet they are very valuable. They help us make friends and improve our relationships with others. They make life more pleasant by reducing misunderstandings and avoiding unnecessary conflicts.

When we meet someone for the first time, it is often that person’s manners that leave a lasting impression on us. Good manners are usually taught by parents at home and by teachers at school. The habits we learn in childhood often stay with us throughout our lives and become a part of our character. Therefore, it is important to teach children good manners from an early age so that they grow up to be kind, respectful and considerate adults.
