Manners and custom (2)

boomerscafe culture manner
    Most likely, you all want to feel appreciated and respected. When you say “please”, it shows respect and attention for the other person  responsiveness meanwhile when you say “thank you”, it shows the other person that you really do care and love what they do.
   While you are speaking, it isn't just a matter of what you say. It’s also how you say. Facial expressions and tone of voice are important too.
   To say “Please” in American manners, you can go at the beginning or at the end of a sentence.
Example “Please give me a pen” or “Give me a pen, please,”
You can say that but it sounds too direct, like a command.
The better way you can say “May I please have a pen?” or “Could you give me a pen, please?”
It seems softer and less direct. To be more polite, “ May I ” or “ Could you ” are often used.
Could you be quite, please?” sounds more polite than “Quite please.
Don’t forget to use words with tone of voice. Using worlds alone do not make the sentence polite.
 Lots of feeling of politeness is in your tone of voice.
    We have learned about how to say "please" and "thank you". Using good manners is important.
Remember; always show people respect and treat them the way you’d like to be treated too.
Let's say “Please” and “Thank You”.
