good manners when speaking to others.

Good Manners

• It is nice to say please, thankyou, excuse me and sorry when talking to others

might think that you are rude. • They may not feel like doing the

thing that you asked for.

Good Manners

May I have a pencil please?

• If someone does something for you, you should say......

Thank you for helping me.
