read the following excerpt from a speech. then answer the question that follows.
in turkey, burping after a meal is a sign of appreciation. among the inuit people, passing gas after a meal is a sign of gratitude. in america, neither of these activities are acceptable at the dinner table. a whopping 91 percent of teenagers agree that manners are important, but 70 percent of teenagers feel that their fellow teenagers do not often practice good manners. good manners would include saying “” and “ you,” not interrupting others when speaking, looking someone in the eye when speaking to him or her, and saying “excuse me” when you bump into someone.
it’s important to teach children good manners from an early age. although the best place to learn manners would be in the home, not all children have good role models. that’s where schools come in. there are several private schools across the nation that include manners and etiquette as part of the curriculum. such classes should be required in every school. could you imagine how these courses could impact our society if every student took them? what is the purpose of this speech?
to persuade schools to teach manners in the classroom
to urge families to teach their children how to burp when visiting turkey
to show how manners are no longer considered important in american society
to describe some interesting manners around the world
