       Whenthe musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready tohave a chat．Butalthough you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think aboutthe manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tipsto guide you．

       ●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to thephone before you hang up．If the person who answers is not the one you want，give your name and ask if youmay speak to the person you want．

       ●Think about the time you call people．Try not to call too early in the morning（before about 9:00）or too late at night（after about 9:30）．Also try not to call atmealtimes．

       ●Ifyou go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to followairline instructions．Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closedand remain so until the doors open again on arrival．

       ●Whenface to face with someone, do not talk on the phone．It is rude to be on the phonewhen a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you arereturning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop．Finish any face-to-facebusiness before taking a call．Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front ofyou is quite impolite．

       ●Whenin a restaurant with your friends，keep phone conversations short．Make a call only if it is important．Practise speaking in a low voice．If no one looks your way, you’vegot it．

       ●Ifyou go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people aroundyou．Check that yourphone is “off” before you enter．If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on“vibrate”（振动）andrun for the exit as soon as you feel it．If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’tanswer it, turn it off straight away．
