“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 20^th 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?

    Do you keep a diary（日记） every day? Do you think it is great to remember just what you did on a day many years ago? One way to remember each day is to write about it in a diary. Many people write their diaries every day. They write about what they did, what they ate, whom they saw and met, how they did something and how they felt during that day.

    Most people do not want anyone else to read their diaries. They keep them in a safe （安全的）place. Some Chinese students try to keep diaries in English not only to help themselves to remember something, but also to practice English.

    Long ago, many people wrote diaries, too. People have found some of those old diaries.  Some diaries are useful because we can learn about the life long ago, or we can get to know something important or something interesting.

    There are many famous diaries in the world. Most people in China have read the Diaries of Lei Feng. Lei Feng was a soldier（战士）.In his short life, he did a lot of good things for others and for his country. He was always ready to give, but never asked for anything from people. He kept diaries and from them, people learn what a great man he was. In China's schools,  students learn some of his diaries as texts（课文）.
