B. Answer the following questions below.

1. Why do we need to observe Good Manners at all times?

It can create a good relationship to other people. We can clearly see that observing good
manners plays a very important role in communication if we look at the role of manners in life
and in some everyday conversations. All of us taught by our parents/relatives/elders to have a
good manner in everything we do, especially when we are in a public place in our early age.
While growing up the redundant words of our parents towards good manners, is already marked
at us and now we are doing it. Observing good manners it does not give you anything grand but
it can benefit yourself. It can set your behaviour in a better stage; you can gain respect, and can
help you gain your confidence. Observing your good manners will help you respect yourself and
others in any way, people in large part, assess your importance to them by the way you make
them feel when they are in touch with you. In your voice, showing proper manners shows that
you have regard for others as well as for yourself and makes it much more fun for you to be
around.

C. What have you discovered about yourself? Write the insights you have gained from this
activity.

I discovered that even though I am raised only by my relatives, they still taught me how
to respect someone that deserves my respect and they taught me to have a good manner. I found
in myself that even if I am flawed, and continuing committing mistakes, I still know how to have
a good manner in my own way. What I gained to this activity is I have known what am I doing
and not at the self-analysis. I’ve also realized that I admire other manners that I am afraid to do
or still figuring it out on myself. Lastly, I gained knowledge to unpleasant and good manners and
to the manners itself.
