B1 - part 2

The definition of civility is formal politeness and courtesy in behavior and speech. Being kind yet firm is the best way to get people to listen to what you have to say. On top of that, practicing civility will also get most everybody’s attention. Throughout my life I have had a lot of opportunities to practice civility with my siblings. When my parents put me in charge of babysitting them, I find that the best way that they will listen to me is if I am patient and I don’t put them down; or in other words, being civil towards another is the best way to get others to listen, especially stubborn siblings. When civility is directed towards another person, that person will most likely fill respected and more inclined to respond in the same way and to listen to what is being said.

  1. I agree with how you are talking about civility and how people tend to listen to a reasonable man than one filled with other emotions and ways. When you are kind and reasonable others will listen better than someone who is demonstrating anger and harsh ways. Very good job of showing this in your answer.
