    Western people like to say "Thank you" when other people help them or say something kind to them. "Please" and "Thank you" are magic words that can show your good manners. You should say "Thank you" when someone passes you something. You should say "Thank you" too when someone walks ahead of you and keeps the door open for you. And also, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful, you would say "Thank you". The magic words are not only for your friends, but also for your family.

    "Excuse me is another way to show your good manner. When you hear someone say "Excuse me" behind you, you will know somebody wants to pass by you without touching you. If some people are talking, it's impolite to interrupt them. You'd better say the magic words first, and then begin talking.

    Let's say more about these magic words "Thank you" "please" and "Excuse me" in our life.

    After autumn, winter is coming. It's very cold and snowy. The days are short and the nights are long. We have much time to sleep. I like this season very much, because I like snow. We can make snowmen and have snowball fights together. It is very interesting. Look! It is snowing outside. All the students are very excited. Some boys are making snowballs. David's snowball is bigger. Jim's snowball is smaller. So David wins the fights. He is very happy.
