Manners of Knocking at the Door and Pushing the Doorbell

As for the manners of knocking the door, the most polite way is knocking at the door for three times, after a while, knocking again.

Meanwhile, the knocking sound should be moderate, that is, neither too slight nor too loud. On the other hand, we can not use our fist to knock at the door or kick the door since it will disturb others even shock the elderly.

If the door of other people's home is unlocked, we still need to knock at the door. Remember, only can we enter after getting the owner's permission. To enter other people's office, we should also knock at the door and ask: "May I come in?" or say: "I want to come in."

Nowadays most modern families have installed doorbells. And we should also push the doorbell politely. That is, pushing slowly once and after a while, pushing again. Do not be impatient, pushing continually will interrupt the home owners as well as destroy the doorbell.
