Polite Expressions:
Discussion:
Explain to students that polite words like please, thank you, and excuse
me make other people feel appreciated and respected. You can show
kindness and respect for other people’s feelings by speaking politely to
them. Ask the students to tell what they already know about using polite
words. Be sure the following points are discussed:
• Always say “thank you” when someone gives you a gift or a
compliment.
• Say “thank you” when someone does something for you.
• Say “please” when you are asking someone to give you something or
to do something for you.
• Do not say “please” over and over again as a way to beg for something
you want- that is not a polite thing to do at all.
• Say “excuse me” when your body makes an embarrassing noise such
as a burp, hiccup, sneeze, or you pass gas.
• When you must interrupt someone or ask them to move, say “Excuse
me, please”.
• When starting a conversation, it is polite to first ask, “How are you?”
• If you see that someone fell or may have hurt himself, you should ask
if he is okay.
• Never be afraid to say “I’m sorry”, when you make a mistake or hurt
someone.
Point out that having good manners requires thinking about other people,
instead of just thinking about yourself. Other people will feel
comfortable and happy to be around you when you are polite and treat
them with respect.
