“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?

Some people around you look so cool and happy, but you often feel lonely. Or the friends you have do not really understand you that make you feel lonely, too. So what can be done when you have this feeling?
Understand people's differences
Not everyone has to do things the same way or behave the same way. Find people who have the same feeling. That is always a good basic for the friendship. You can take part in activities outside school like sports, art classes and dancing classes. There you can have more chances to find people who have the same interest as you.
Develop your friendship
Friendships do not just happen, and they need work. Phone your friends once in a while. Being there when they need you means that they will do the same for you.
Accept others' invitations
Even if someone invites you to a neighborhood street party, you never know who else will be there. Laughing and playing together could start a new friendship.
Start a club
Make your circle of friends big by starting a club. Going camping together or regularly (有规律地) going to the movies doesn't take much time.
