Second, being honest is the best manners for us. Never cheat in exams, or our teachers will not be pleased. Also，it’s bad for our study.
Third, wait for our turn when we’re in the dining room, at the bus stop or in the other public places. It’s impolite to cut in line. Besides, we’d better give seats to the old and the kids when on a bus.
Last, remember to put litter in a dustbin .You know, the waste have polluted our environment badly. So, don’t throw rubbish or spit everywhere.
Thank you !
