“Thank you” is one of the first few phrases(短語) that our English teacher taught us when we began to learn English. Each time we receive help from others, we say “Thank you”. We may say it many times a day. It seems that “Thank you” is very popular among us Chinese students. But is it as popular in the UK?
The answer is “no”. According to a recent survey (最近的報告)in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, “Thank you” is only the 20th most popular way of expressing gratitude(感激) in the UK.
The survey shows that British people like “Cheers” most to express their thanks. For example, when friends invite each other for a drink after a game, a smile and a “Cheers” may be the best way to say “thanks”.
You may often hear the word spoken between two good friends. “Great”, “nice one” and “all right” are also popular informal(不正式的) ways of showing gratitude among friends in the UK.
Of course, there are some formal ways to say “thanks” among British people. For example, when a stranger is especially helpful, they may say “brilliant” or “much appreciated” to express their gratitude.
By the way, how do British people usually answer “thank you”? They like to say: “ You're welcome.”, “No problem” or “Sure”.
Since you have many more ways to show your thanks, next time you want to say “thank you”, why not try one of these new British phrases?

Jill Jones got a new job in a different part of the city. She had to go to work every day by train.

Then he sat down, closed his eyes, and slept for the rest of the journey again.

【題目】從每小題所給的A,B,C,D四個選項中選出一個最佳選項。C
If you go to Thailand, you'll see a very interesting vehicle(交通工具). It is like a three-wheeled(三輪的) motorbike. There is a cabin(艙室) for the driver in the front and two or three passengers(乘客) can sit at the back. When it starts(啟動), it will make the sound "tuk, tuk." That's why it is called tuk-tuk.
In Thailand, tuk-tuks are everywhere in big cities like Bangkok. Why? Because they are very small, and they can go very quickly. We can also find tuk-tuks in China, Italy and some other places. One thing is very interesting, the German(德國)car maker,BMW, makes a funny-looking tuk- tuk.
How can you have a nice trip by tuk-tuk? Here are two tips. First, tell the driver where you are going, and talk about the price before you leave. If you don't do that, you may pay(支付) too much money for your trip, because tuk-tuks don't have the meters(計程表).Second, don't put your feet on the rail(橫桿) behind the driver's head. It is not so good to the driver.
