Nowadays, many people forget that such courtesy,especially the youth of today.I remember my grandmother who was very religious and polite.When I was (-) as a teenager I always stay (s) at my grandma's.So you come to her,and she gives you something good,yummy feed.Remember how I always asked (but) when we sat over a Cup of hot tea in the winter,when the window was raging snowstorm,sit and talk heart to heart with his grandmother.And we talked about it:
-You remember your young years...-he started the conversation the old lady.-at that time it was not so as now...and the other village people and others.In our times the youth has always been polite.
-Grandma!What is "politeness"?
-Well,-she sighed,-Politeness is a human characteristic which characterizes the personality good manners, good deeds and education.Under the politeness is usually described as the ability to communicate respectfully with people, a willingness to find a compromise and listen to opposing points of view.So that was my wonderful day at my grandmother's.

Масленица отмечается во многих странах мира: Великобритании, США, Ирландии, Австралии, Бразилии, Греции, Швеции, Германии, Франции, Исландии. В отличие от России, этот праздник в Европе и Америке длится всего один день. Он проходит во вторник, называемый: Блинный вторник.
Есть много традиций празднования этого дня. В Англии блинные гонки проводятся по всей стране. Мужчины и женщины, принимающие в них участие должны надеть фартук и шляпу или шарф. Каждый из них имеет сковороду с горячим блином. Они должны бросить его три раза во время гонки, длиной 375 метров. В конце гонки блины должны выглядеть такими же круглыми и красивыми, как в начале гонки! Это не так просто!
