 LESSON

Let us read a short story about Cora. Let us find out why
people call her Polite Cora.

Polite Cora
Everyone likes Cora. She greets everyone with a smile.
She greets the guard in the school “good morning!” She
greets the principal “good afternoon!”, when she sees him,
and when classes are over, she says “goodbye” and “see
you” to everyone. At night, she greets father “good
evening!” and gives him a kiss on the cheek.
She hugs mother and says, “good night!”, before she goes
to sleep. Everyone likes Cora because she is polite.

Guided Practice

3. What does Cora tell her mother before she goes to

sleep?

4
 4. Why does everyone like Cora?
❖ Everyone likes her because she is polite.

Good bye, Good night, and See you are expressions

we use for leave takings. They are polite expressions that
we say to people before we leave them or before we go
to sleep. Being polite is one of the most valuable traits that
must be shown by a Grade 1 pupil like you. Politeness is an
act of being respectful and considerate of others. Aside
from leave takings, simple expressions like thank you, sorry,
and excuse me also show politeness.
