Two small words can bring a smile to someone's face: thank you. But ______ do you say these two words? Perhaps when someone holds the door open for you. Or when a friend does you a big favor.

In Britain, people say “thank you” quite often, even at times when there is no ______.

We all want to live comfortably and safely, so here are a few simple rules which we think all residents(居民) should follow.

Rubbish Rubbish collection is on Tuesdays. Please do not leave rubbish bags out before Tuesday as birds and animals can break into them.

Washing There is a washing line for every flat in the garden next to the car park. Please only dry your washing on these lines so it does not disturb(干扰) people in the ground floor flats.

Cleaning The main stairs are cleaned twice a week by the Association(协会), so please try to keep them tidy and clean and do not leave furniture or bags on the stairs or in the hallways.

Lights The main lights are on a timer and they stay on for five minutes when you press them. Please tell the Association if any lights are not working.

Noise Residents are asked to keep noise to a minimum. Loud music, etc. can disturb other people and the Association will get in touch with you if you make too much noise.

Safety Make sure the main outside door is always locked and do not let anyone into the main building unless you know who they are.

Parking Each flat has one car parking space. These are numbered and are at the back of the building. Do not use another resident's space. If you have more than one car, you will have to park it on the road. Do not park where you are blocking entrances.

Problems If you have any problems or questions, please call the Association at 080?0096?9000.
