[00:08.09]The Importance of Good Manners
[00:12.05]Nowadays,
[00:12.93]many people do not have appropriate manners in public places.
[00:17.78]They often talk loudly,
[00:19.71]throw trash casually, jump the queue,
[00:22.82]or answer cellphone in meetings,
[00:25.68]without realizing that they are disturbing others.
[00:29.17]It is very important for people to pay attention to their manners.
[00:33.47]On the one hand,
[00:34.78]impolite behaviors in public make other people uncomfortable
[00:39.39]and show how selfish the person is.
[00:42.12]This in turn will make people with bad manners
[00:45.80]tend to have fewer friends as normally few people
[00:49.57]like to be friends with selfish people.
[00:52.43]On the other hand,
[00:53.92]a person that behaves with good manners
[00:56.35]can always win friendship and respect from others,
[01:00.46]which will greatly benefit this person in the long term.
[01:04.00]To sum up,
[01:06.08]it is very important for us to cultivate good manners
[01:09.56]so that the society becomes more harmonious.
[01:12.98]Besides, if we all behave politely,
[01:16.65]especially in public,
[01:18.33]the world will become a better place for us to live in.
