    Sam is a student. He has only four lessons every day, but he goes to school six days a week. The following is his school timetable (时间表).

    Everyone wants to have good manners, but it is not so easy. We must care about everything in life. There is something we should know.

    First, say "hello" to people you meet, not only to teachers, but also to your friends and your classmates, and even your neighbors. Second, help others as much as you can. Then everybody will like you. Third, don't laugh at others. That will be impolite and hurt them. Fourth, never ask others about their personal information. If others have something that they cannot say, they will be very embarrassed.

    Good manners make things easier. They can help people to get on well with each other. When you are nice to people, they will be nice to you.
