Read the following text and answer the questions no. 1 and 2:

 We have two terms to describe our social behaviour-etiquette and manners. Etiquette' is a

French word and it means the rules of correct behaviour in society. The word manners means the behaviour that is considered to be polite in a particular society or culture. Manners can be good or bad. For example, it is a bad manner to speak with food in one's mouth. No one likes a bad nered person. Remember that etiquette and manners vary from culture to culture and from society to society. We learn etiquette and manners from our parents, families and various tutions, such as schools, colleges or professional bodies. There are rules of behaviour for all inds of social occasions and it is important to learn them and practise them in everyday life. The tners that are correct in a wedding reception will not do in a debating club. Therefore, we have to be careful about etiquette and manners. We know how important it is to say please and thank you in everyday life. A few more polite expressions such as pardon me excuse me may I are bound to make your day smooth and pleasant.
