TEACHING GOOD MANNERS

Today in Britain there is disagreement over how children should be taught to be polite. Should parents force their children to (56) say "please" and "thank you”, for instance? Or are there alternative methods they could use?

Most parents still believe that teaching good manners to their children is essential. However, it does seem ironic that the methods used often include bullying, pleading and threats.

On the other hand, there are some schools which have a completely different attitude. Their philosophy is (57) ____________ on the idea that a small child will copy adults. In other words, adults should set a good example and the children will follow. In addition, adults should be more tolerant. Children should not be expected, for instance, to sit perfectly still (58) ____________ they are waiting for food in a restaurant.

The good manners of Britain today date back to the last century when children were considered to be animals (59) ____________ needed to be trained before they could be accepted into adult society. Yet in countries such as Brazil, children can be seen everywhere with adults and their behaviour is nothing to be ashamed (60) ____________. So, perhaps if children in Britain were allowed to be seen more in public, they would be far better behaved.

A. Read the following passage. There are 11 unnecessary words in it. The first is done as an example. Find the rest and do as the example.

Example: 0. ever (line 1)

WHAT IS SMART?

The British are ever generally regarded as the most untidily dressed people in Europe, but I have often thought that the opposite is true. Take, for an example, the wearing of jeans. In many southern European countries, it seems more perfectly acceptable for both teachers and office staff to wear jeans, whereas in Britain jeans are been considered far too casual and are only acceptable if the work is so dirty or unskilled. Office workers in Britain must follow a very much strict dress code. Even in the hottest weather, male employees are required to wear a suit and tie and female employees who must be dressed in a skirt and tights. In these schools, the dress code is not quite so formal, but staff still tend to wear out shirts and smartish trousers or skirts. The British may not be as stylish as like their European counterparts, but a dress code still does then exist.
