    “Thank you” is widely{#blank#}1{#/blank#}in a modern society. It is a very good manner. You should say “Thank you”{#blank#}2{#/blank#}others help you or say something kind to you.

You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others. Let's say “Thank you” and “Excuse me” on the right occasion.
