Three little ideas

In the morning we say “Good morning”; in the evening, “Good evening”; at bedtime, “Good night”.
Other hellos — “Hello” and “Namaste” (with folded hands) are warm ways to greet.
Look and smile — greet with a smile so the other person feels happy.

Which one? You meet your teacher at 8 in the morning.

Say “Good morning, ma'am!” with a smile.

Please — when you ask for something: “May I have a pencil, please?”
Thank you — when someone helps or gives you something.
Sorry — when you make a mistake or hurt someone by accident.

“How are you?” → “I am fine, thank you.”
“Hello!” → say “Hello!” back. “Thank you” → “You're welcome.”
Listen first — hear what is said, then give a kind reply.

Remember: greeting words and polite words go with a smile and a kind voice.
