Ladies first

Ladies first, a traditional custom, is a good manner in western countries .In the western countrise, wowen are repected by men because women are considered faithful wifes and caring mothers, so ladies first naturally becomes a manner. I appreciate this custom so much because with this manner, you are a person who are consider a gentleman . In the US, for example, when a lady gets on the bus, she is given a seat by a man. What's more, when a man and a lady call a taxi at the same time, the lady wiil get on the taxi first. Although these are little things in the usual life, western people don't forget to keep their manners. As a Chinese, I am willing to keep this manner because I also want to be a gentleman. haha~~
