Conversation etiquette

Dear children!

Always speak the truth. Do not feel any hesitation in this! When two men are talking, do not interrupt. If someone is telling you something, don’t assume that you know it, but listen carefully, maybe you will understand something new.

Whoever you talk to, talk to him keeping in mind his age, status, and your relationship with him. Do not talk to parents like friends.

Always speak short and to the point, do not talk nonsense. Always speak in a medium voice.
