3 What do you usually do when you see someone behave inappropriately in public places?
What I usually do depends on who the person is. If it’s someone I know, I would simply tell him / her directly but politely. If it’s someone I don’t know, I usually just walk away or report to the patrol guard(s).

2. What good or bad manners did you experience recently?
• An example of good manners: The other day, I went shopping in the grocery store near our campus. I bought quite a lot of things. So, when I was carrying them back to my dorm, I found them so heavy that I had to stop to take some rest by the school gate. Just then, a boy was walking past me. When he saw I was carrying so many things, he offered to help me to carry them to my dorm. I felt so grateful.

2 Discuss your choices . Then talk about why you like being a morning person or an evening person.
If your choices are mostly “A”s, you are clearly a morning person, a person who is most efficient and alert in the morning. The downside is that you may become quickly tired when evening comes, and often feel uncomfortable at the thought of going out after nine.

2 Discuss your choices . Then talk about why you like being a morning person or an evening person.
If your choices are mostly “C”s, you are a real evening person and you are not really clearheaded and focused until it starts to get dark – that’s when you come alive and you feel most energetic. Your ideal schedule would be sleeping in until noon and doing all your work and socializing after dinner.

• An example of bad manners: Last night, my roommate and his friends from other dorms played cards in our room. They didn’t stop until midnight. Though I was in bed trying to fall asleep, they didn’t seem to notice at all.

2 Discuss your choices . Then talk about why you like being a morning person or an evening person.
If your choices are mostly “B”s, it means that getting up early might not be your favorite thing in the world, but you do it if you have to and you can’t imagine why some people make such a fuss about it.

3 Talk about why you like being a morning person or an evening person.
• I like being a morning person. Here are my reasons. First, I enjoy the quietness of the mornings. Second, I have time to enjoy breakfast, the most important meal of a day. Third, I can travel to work or school before the rush hours and skip the traffic jams. Fourth, getting up early is about self-mastery, which helps me feel good about myself.
