English habits

I have an English friend.One day I came to see him.He invited me to dinner.At table Englishmen had their good manners.To accept a dish was by saying,“Yes,please.”To decline (谢绝) it was by saying,“No,thanks .”When eating they made little noise.

After dinner he went upstairs to change his clothes.But he did not come back.After a while I went upstairs and found him i n bed asleep.That was his habit.

Habits are very strong.If a man by habit says”Thank you”and”please”,it is easy for him to be polite.If a man smokes a great deal,it becomes very difficult for him to stop.A language is also made of habits.So we should form good habits of reading and speaking English.
