About politeness in my country
Today I'm going to talk about politeness in Ukraine.
What actually does it mean, "to be polite"? In our country rules of society behaviour have learned from the childhood. Every parent teach his child: always tell "please" when asking something, help elderly people, give them your place in public transport, respect each person and like you want people should behave with you.
But, unfortunately, when those children grow up, at least half of them became rude and really unpleasant. And it's quite hard to keep calm near them.

Hi Valeriia,
It's a pity that they grow up to be rude haha :P
I just want to point out one thing I corrected: I changed "every parent teach his child" to "every parent teaches their child". In this case, "their" can be used as a gender-neutral singular pronoun. It's better than using "his" because it includes both the father and mother. In grammar books, they will probably teach you to use "his", but in everyday speech "their" would be more common. Ask me if you need further explanation.
