Leonardo Nicanor Quinteros is a middle school student in Argentina (阿根廷) , but he runs a little school to help children with their studies.

Leonard’s middle school is far away from his home. He noticed that fewer and fewer children in his town went to school with him. Later he found out the truth that those children had little money to pay for the bus ride to the school. Knowing this, Leonardo decided to do something to help them. He told his grandmother that he decided to build a school and he asked her to help him build it next to her house. His grandmother agreed.

It takes Leonardo 20 minutes to ride to his “school”. Every day, rainy or snowy, he goes there to teach classes on different subjects for free after his school day ends. Sometimes, when his students can’t go to school in the daytime, he teaches the classes at night, to make sure they don’t get behind on their studies.

Now the school has about 40 children. There are also a few adults. Leonardo is still doing his best to help the students and many say that going to his school is great. Leonardo is happy that he can make a big difference to his students.

Dear Dr. Manners,

My close friend seldom(很少)says “please”. She will say “Can you get me that bag? ”or “Move it over here! ”I have told her a lot of times that it is polite to use “please” and “thank you”, but she hardly remembers. I feel that she is ordering(命令)me around without “please”, and I always get annoyed.

We have been close friends for over 10 years, this has always been there. It seems that I can’t stand it any more. What should I do? Can you help me?

Sincerely,

Linda

Dear Linda,

When your friend does not use polite words, it seems that she is ordering you to do something. So you have every right(权利)to hate her behaviors.

Ask her why she doesn’t use “please” and “thank you”. Explain to her that it makes you uncomfortable. Also, you don’t want to do anything for her because she doesn’t seem kind or pleasant when she asks you to.

Your friend was probably never taught how to use “please” and “thank you” in normal conversation. So you can try to teach her that. Remember that it is difficult to find another close friend if you lose one.

Yours,

Dr. Manners
