1．How to be politeBeing polite is a matter of good manners； it's about respect，and being considerate of people's feelings，culture，and values．It does not seem difficult，but for many people it remains a challenge．While some people have no interest whatsoever in manner，if you are reading this you're probably wondering how you can improve your manners．At the very least，you might want to know how to avoid being rude，which can put off the people around you．Being polite is also a good way to make friends．
（61）F Loudness either indicates arrogance or insecurity．A charming polite person makes another person feel good．Keep this goal in mind．Be considerate of other people's needs and opinions．Don't make unfavorable remarks towards any kind of ethnic，political or religious groups under any circumstances．
（62）D You might want to practice this a bit so you don't squish （攥紧） people's hands，depending on how strong you are．That would make them feel uncomfortable．Beware especially when shaking hands of women who are wearing rings．Too much pressure can be very painful．Remember too that many people with an"old-school"etiquette background （especially if you are in Europe） find it inappropriate to offer your hand for a handshake to a lady or an older gentleman if you are a gentleman，or to an older lady，if you are a lady．
（63）E Try not to talk about yourself too much-if they want to know （or are polite） they'll ask．Be confident and charming．Do not hog the conversation，which is too rude．Look interested and listen to the answers．Don't look over the person's shoulder or around the room when they are talking，or let your eyes linger on the hot new guest who just walked in．That implies that you are distracted or not interested-that your conversational companion is not important or interesting enough to bother paying attention to．
（64）A Always be courteous （客气的），as you might meet this person again in another setting and wouldn't want to have caused negative memories that would give you a bad standing．If someone annoys or even insults you，don't get into an argument．Say"Let's agree to disagree"and change the subject，politely debate，or simply excuse yourself from the conversation．
（65）C For silverware，go from the outside in．Place your napkin on your lap，and do not add anything to the table that was not there when you got there （cell phone，glasses，jewelry）．Put your purse between your feet，under your chair．Women should not apply makeup at the table．It is rude and demonstrates a lack of refinement．If you want to fix your makeup or check if something is in your teeth，go to the restroom．
A．Be nice．
B．Be aware that manners vary．
C．Know the proper dinner manners．
D．Shake hands firmly and look them in the eyes when doing so．
E．Start a conversation by asking questions about the other person．
F．Have a laugh which shows you are having fun，without being loud．
