Good Manners Can Help You

Good manners can be seen at home, at school, on the playground, and at the dining table where we eat our meals. A well mannered person is polite and gentle when talking.
Everyone likes a person who is polite and good mannered. Good manners are always liked by everyone and after can bring good rewards.
Therefore, we should always remember to do what is right.
All that is wrong displeases everyone. Therefore, we should not do what is wrong. Often, we will be rewarded for our good actions.
Children who consistently come late to school are not dependable. It is difficult to provide important work for them. These children could even lose some friends.
All of us make mistakes. When we make a mistake, we do not like to be punished. We like to be forgiven. Therefore, we, too, should forgive the mistakes of others. Forgiveness is a great virtue.
It is easy to make a mistake, but it is not easy to forget that mistake. When we make a mistake, we should feel sorry about it. We also apologize to the person whom we have hurt.
We should not cheat on an examination. Cheating always does more harm than good. We can choose out friends wisely.

Read the story and answer the question.

Once upon a time, a wealthy woman, who could not see things clearly, called a doctor to treat her and restore her eyesight. The doctor promised to cure her but told her that she had to pay him a huge amount as a fee and that throughout the treatment she had to keep her eyes closed. The woman agreed.

The doctor began the treatment *, but everyday he stole something from the lady’s house. Finally, when he had emptied her house, he finished her treatment and restored her eyesight.

The woman was very happy now that she could see clearly, but she refused to pay the doctor. The doctor was very angry with her and took her to court.

When the judge asked the woman to explain why she didn’t pay the doctor, the woman said, “Sir, before the operation, I was partially blind, but at least I could see the things in my room. But now after the operation, I am unable to see anything in my room. I am totally blind now.”

The judge looked at the doctor, who hung his head in shame. He realized that the woman knew that he had stolen all her things. He felt ashamed and returned everything he had stolen.

The woman then gave him his fee and told him that she could see perfectly well after the operation.

Read the poem and answer the question.

I quarreled with my brother
I don’t know what about,
One thing led to another
And somehow we fell out.


The start of it was slight,
The end of it was strong,
He said he was right,
I knew he was wrong!

We hated one another.
The afternoon turned black.
Then suddenly my brother
Thumped me on the back,


And said, “Oh, come along!
We can’t go on all night-
I was in the wrong.”
So he was in the right.
