Manners are very important. They tell people to like us or not. If you have good manners, then they will like you, If you have bad manners, you won’t be the most popular person in town.

When you have good manners, it can change the way people think of you and give you some new friends. When you have bad manners, things will end badly. Here’s a few steps on how to have better manners.

1. Always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. It’s more polite. When asking for something always say ‘please’ and after getting something say ‘thank you’ or ‘thanks’.
2. Open the door for others if they’re holding too many things, but if no, still do it. The person you helped will thank you after.
3. Don’t stuff your face when eating. It looks bad in front of people. Also remember to sit up straight and properly, otherwise you look like a troglodyte.
4. Don’t say rude words. It can always go against you. And don’t say mean things. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it.
5. Think before you speak. Is there another way you can say what you’re trying to say? If you don’t have a book in school, instead of asking “How am I supposed to do it?’ say “Could you please photocopy the page(s) for me?” or “May I have time to write down the questions before school ends?” You make a good impression when you do this.

Use these tips if you don’t have the best of manners, and if you do, still use them anyway. You’ll never know when you may need them.
