湖北省沙市中学2018-2019学年高二下学期英语期中考试试卷
Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy(礼仪) when dealing with people.
My own son, who basically grew up with his grandmother, the original 1 guru(专家), has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was 2to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not 3manners. So I asked him why. He said," I behave the way I am supposed to 4 when I'm out, but when I am at home I want to be 5"
That's when I realized that most parents, myself included, do6 their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also 7to believe that at home, anything goes.
My 8to him was "good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with".
Then he answered, "But I behave 9when I'm with others so that they think better of me." And that is when I realized that I was doing things all 10. I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This 11him even more.
So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday 12with people or at the dining table at home, is an 13of who you are. Well, at the age of 13, he got it.
So basically, what I am saying is that teaching your children 14comes with the underlying lesson that it is not about 15to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not 16; it comes from within.
Teach your teens or children the 17courtesy of greeting their friends' parents and 18themselves when they go to someone's home. Teach teenage boys to open the door of a car, or any door 19 anyone who matters, for any girl, whether they are their girlfriends or not. This includes holding elevator doors or letting women step out of the elevator first.
Just 20that teenage boys who practice good manners' and courtesy grow up to become men who respect people in general.
