Though we were treated well and found the service excellent, we think there are one or two things we should bring your attention. 1. We hoped for a nice holiday from our busy work lives, and your ad said "comfortable and quiet". We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we were always waken up by the noise every morning. Is it really necessary for the workers to start their repair work so early? 2. We hoped to swim in your "wonderful pool". To our disappointment , we found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay. I hope you do not mind my writing to you about these things, but I would be happy if you could give me some explanation . As I said at the start, it is a pity, and your service is so good in other places. I hope to hear from you soon.

After all, we're brought up to be kind and polite. So, what exactly are you supposed to say when "thank you" is only the 20thmost popular way to express gratitude ? According to a recent report, 19 other ways of expressing gratitude finished ahead of "thank you" in a poll of 3,000 people. Pollsters found almost half those asked preferred the more informal "cheers", while others liked to use such expressions as "ta", "great" and "nice one". So, just what is the right form of words to express your thanks? Luckily, the answer is in the language itself. "Cheers" is considered an informal way to say thank you.

"Ta" was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as "nice one", and "wonderful". Interestingly, one word that didn't make it into the top 20 was "thanks". But "thanks" can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between "thank you" and the downright relaxed "cheers". Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. For example, words like "awesome", "brilliant" and "you star" can tell both your pleasure at someone's action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a "new" thank you, you can reply with a simple "no problem", or "sure". Of course, a simple wave, nod or smile may be all right. For example, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand is enough to show that you are thankful for the driver's consideration. Sometimes, formality is necessary, and "thank you" is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions.
