Unlike some PEOPLE I am a girl with good manners I don't judge people if they are polite or not,Because just a word! just because of a word.
Got it?

And I don't wait from a foreign guy to tech me maners!want a foreign guy to teach me manners




So you don't want a "foreign guy" like me to teach you manners, but you're okay with me teaching you English !!!!

And who do you want to teach you manners? Your peers and teachers clearly do not teach you!

I suggest you ask your question again, but this time with a please.

Btw, as you can see, I have corrected the mistakes in your question!

Re: Good or well?

Nour,
I think it may be "My father dresses very well" because we usually say " a well-dressed man" not "a good dressed man"
I am not complete sure but 8 out of 10 say "well" is the most suitable one

Hi Emma and Nour

The adverb “well” is the correct word; it describes the way he dresses.

In the sense that “dresses” has here (meaning in an appropriate and typically appealing way) it requires a manner dependent such as “well”; it’s more or less obligatory and thus a complement.

By contrast, the adjective “good” is used to describe a property of someone or something, often predicatively:

He looks good.
It appears to be good.
This is a good restaurant.
