Learning English-Lesson Three (Please & Thank You)

Here is transcript of this video for your convenience:

In this lesson
We will look at two actions, which many of us do,although maybe not as often as we should. In this lesson we will talk about saying... 'Please' and 'Thank you'
We usually say 'please' when asking for something,or as a polite (nice) way of saying yes to an offer. 'Please can I watch some TV?'
'Can I please go out to play?'
'Could I please have some ice cream?'
'Would you like some ice cream?'
'Oh yes please!'
'Do you want something to eat?'
' Yes I would please!'
'Can I offer you a cup of coffee?'
'Oh please that would be great!'
The word please can be used to show satisfaction and pleasure.
'I'm please with my new house.'
'This job pleases me.'
'Your music gives me pleasure.'
'I'm very pleased to meet you.'
From those few examples you can see that 'please' and 'pleasure' are closely related in origin but are sometime used in completely different ways. If something makes you pleased, you can say that you feel... Uplifted, Perked,Chaffed, Gladdened, Overjoyed, Over the Moon

Saying Thank you...
The action of saying 'thank you' is seen as the most polite way of showing how grateful you are for receiving something or as a way of acknowledging an  act of kindness. We say 'thank you' to show our appreciation.
By saying 'thank you', you... Show your gratitude.
You express your appreciation.
You acknowledge the kindness.
You the generosity, verbally. You offer your sincerest thanks. You are grateful.
There are many ways to say 'thank you'... 'Thank you.'
'Thank you very much.'
'Thanks a lot.'
'Thank you so much.'
'Thanks a bundle.'
'You are too kind.'
'Thanks ever such a lot.'
'Cheers!'
'Ta very much!'
Sometime we may express surprise and joy,
as well as showing our thanks.
'Wow how kind... thank you!'
'That's good of you...cheers!'
'I don't know what to say...thanks a lot!'
'I'm overwhelmed...thank you so much!'
'What can I say?'
'You are the best!'
'Thank you very much!'
'This present is so nice!'
'Oh shouldn't have!'
Saying 'thank you' is the best way to show you gratitude to another person. It ts a polite thing to do. To acknowledge someone's kindness is a nice thing to do. And don't forget... kindness creates more kindness.
I hope. Well is all me for today. May I offer you my sincerest thanks for watching video, teaching you.

Lesson Two

In today's lesson, we're going to talk all about saying...."Hello' and....'Goodbye'

When we first meet someone.... whether it is a person we know or someone we are meeting for the first time, we will normally use a simple sentence as a way greeting then. A greeting is a friendly way of opening a conversation, or as a of letting the other person know that we have seen them. There are many ways to say hello.

We sometime use double greeting... for example... 'Hi there, hey how are you doing?'

'Hello how have you been?'

'It's good to see you,how's life been treating you?'

If you are meet someone for the first time. you can say...

'Good to meet you'

'It's nice to meet you'

'I'm pleased to meet you'

'It's a pleasure to meet you'

these sentences are often used after the other person has been introduced to you. If you are meet someone you have not seen or heard from for a long time, then you can show real surprise and shock.

'Oh my God. it's you!'

'Aah h, where have you been?'

'My goodness, long time no speak'(see)

'Wow. it's so good to see you again'

'Is it really you? When did we last meet?'

'Wow, as I live and breathe, it's my best friend school'

If you are in a hurry there may only be a short time in which to make your greeting.

'Hi,sorry I can't stop'

'Oh hi there, look I'm a bit pushed for time... here's my phone number...give me a call sometime'

'Hello there, look I'm on my way to work... maybe catch up you again soon'

'Hey' I would love to stop and chat...but I really have to dash'

This type of greeting is common these days because we all in such a big hurry to get some place...fast!

We sometime use the word 'hello' as a way of showing surprise or as a way expressing a sudden interest in something.

'Hello. what's going on here?Hello I did not know he had a girlfriend'

Hello. what's going on over there?

Hello. something is wrong here...he took my money!

Here in UK people will often steer each other by taking about the weather.

'Hello. Isn't a lovely day?'

'Hello. what about this terrible weather?'

'Hello did you hear the storm last night?'

In many countries people will ask about the family.

'Hello. how's the family?'

Hello. how's your wife doing?

Hello. how are the kids?

In China, people will often greet each other by asking if they have eaten their lunch or dinner, or ask them they are going.

The word 'hello' can be used informally as a way of expressing sarcasm or  annoyance.

'Hello. did you understand what I said?'

'Hello. was that too difficult for you to read?'

'Hello. did you see me waving at you?'

'Hello. do you not recognize me?'

'Hello. what time do you call this?...'

'Parting is such sweet sorrow'

'That shall say goodnight, till it be morrow'

That's Shakespeare,that is.

Saying Goodbye

There are many ways to say goodbye.

'Bye', 'Bye for now' , 'Bye-bye' ,'See ya', 'So long' 'Ciao' 'Later' 'Cheerio' 'See you around' 'Farewell' 'Ta-Ra' 'See you again' 'Ta-ta for now' 'Catch you later' 'Goodbye'

You will often me say 'ta-ta' at the of English lessons.
