British people are famous for saying sorry in almost every situation. They say "sorry" for asking a question or for the bad weather and so on.

British people take pride in themselves on their polite manners. As a result, they use the word "sorry" quite a lot—even when they don't really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would say, "Sorry to trouble you. Do you know what time it is?" If they are five minutes late for a date, they would generally say to the person, "Sorry, I'm late!"

That they say sorry does not only mean they feel sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck. In the dictionary, "sorry" also means feeling regret because they have done something wrong. And now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with "Sorry to trouble you." In this situation, they aren't saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regretful.

In the British culture, saying sorry is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don't know very well. Besides, it also can bring them other benefits (益处) in their daily life. In a recent experiment, an actor asked different strangers on a rainy day if he could use their mobile phones to make a call. When he asked one group of strangers and asked them without saying sorry first, he was only 9% successful. However, when he said sorry to another group about the bad weather before saying his request, he was 47% successful.

Doctors told him that he would probably never walk again, but Ed didn't want to believe this. He had recently got engaged (订婚) to the woman who is now his wife and he said that she was the main reason he wanted to get better. He spent six days staring at his toes (脚趾) and trying to make them move. Finally, he succeeded! This was the start of a long journey.

While in hospital, Ed met Paul, a man, in his late thirties. Doctors had also told Paul he would never walk again, but Ed encouraged him not to give up and six months later, Paul told Ed he was walking with a stick.

Only a year after his accident, Ed climbed the highest mountain in Wales. Since then he has also climbed a 6,500-meter mountain in Nepal and he said that after each big climb he noticed his body could do new movements.

Two years later, 31-year-old Ed climbed over 8.848 meters by going up and down his parents' stairs 2,783 times. When he finished, he told a news reporter he had loved it although it sometimes was "painful" and "boring". He also raised £46,000 for charity.

Ed hopes his story can help people. That's why he started his own charity, M2M, which aims to support "people facing challenges in life".

But how do we teach them good manners? There is a good book, How to behave and Why. It is written by Munro Leaf. I read it with my first grade students and we love the book. It tells good manners that every child should know. The words in the book are not difficult and there are pictures in it. They make the book easy to comprehend.

In daily life, before children are going to school or a friend's house, tell them the importance of good manners. In your family, you can make a list of family manners. This helps children learn good manners anytime. And you can have a manner's competition. It makes learning manners more interesting.

What are good manners for children? At school, they should respect teachers and other classmates. They shouldn't be noisy in class. And they should say "hello" or "goodbye" to teachers and classmates, and "thank you" when they get help from others. Good table manners are important, too. For example, teach your children not to talk with their mouth full. Tell them that old people should eat first. Teach your children not to be late for classes, parties, meetings and so on.

In fact, good manners will provide a lot of help for your children in their daily life. So teach them to your children and learn with your children.
