Greeting is an inherent part of communication and is the most important thing when you meet a person. Different countries have different ways to greet people, like waving hands, shaking hands, hugging, kissing or just saying a certain expression. However, the meaning of every greeting is the same: we greet people to show that we give an attention to people, pleased to see them, and wish them all the best. In many countries the expression word for greeting means wishing something good or asking about people's condition. For example, in Russia people say in a formal way "Zdravstvuyte", it means "I wish you a good health". It shows that people really care of a person they greet and they express it with a good intention.
When someone receives a gift or a help, they should be thankful for it and express in words or in behavior their gratitude. This is a good manner that is matter-of-course in the world. "Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for." said the American author Zig Ziglar. In other words, the more you show your gratitude towards people, the more likely they will do a favor to you next time. I agree that gratitude is the healthiest and significant emotion a person can have, and people who are thankful for just a little help they get from me, the more I want to help them.
Nobody can call themselves good mannered if they do not apologize to people when they hurt someone or make someone feel awkward. Feeling sorry and apologizing for making mistakes is a good manner in every country, and not only for people. Even my dog apologizes when he makes mistakes and upset people, he lowers his head, whines and gives his paw to a person he apologizes. He shows that he does not want to hurt or upset a person and he will be a good mannered boy next time.
In conclusion, the core of good manners, such as being thankful, feeling sorry and greeting people are recognizable for polite people of all countries in the world. And these qualities make people of different countries and different cultures be simillar, be civilized humans.
I definitely think greeting people, saying thank you, and saying sorry is very important. It is one of the basic manner one must keep in terms of relationships. One must deliver clear message of gratitude and sorriness when they did something wrong. Greetings also have a powerful effect as it can make others feel better. You made three evident points and elaborated well in each paragraph. I was amazed how you put three great examples and made it easier to understand your point. I think it would be better to change your hook for your introduction rather than getting right into your points, just to make it more interesting to readers. Good job:)

The structure of the essay is well made and three points that support your idea is making it very powerful. Examples you gave well supports your idea and provides detailed information of what you are trying to say even though the story about your dog made me laugh. The essay is simple, well supported, and powerful.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it will enhance your writing if you add more to your introduction and conclusion. A story that draws reader’s attention and interest in the introduction, a stronger thesis statement that accumulates your idea will make it better. Good luck!
