七、阅读与回答问题
Playing with friends, going to a party, having a meal in a restaurant, or receiving a birthday gift—as a teenager, you go to different places and meet different people. Everything you do leaves an impression (印象). So, manners are very important. Arriving 30 minutes late for a date may mean "This is not that important to me." Taking a phone call while talking to your friend may mean "The caller is more important than the person standing beside me." Failing to show thanks to a gift-giver may say "I don't like the gift."
Is that the message you really want to send? Maybe not. You do not want to be rude, but sometimes what you do makes people think you are impolite. How can you change that?
You should know the proper ways to behave around people. We call this manners. Manners are about being honest, respectful and considerate (考虑周到的). Good manners are shown in small things. You could start by adding "please" and "thank you" to your vocabulary and avoiding bad language. You could start by holding a door open for someone after you to go through. You could start by showing up on time instead of letting others wait for you.
Start now! Start a new life and start to be a teenager with good manners!
