“Thank you” is one of the first few phrases(短语) 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 (最近的报告)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?
