从应用开始　活化英语学习

许多家长想知道用什么方法能轻易推动子女继续学习英语。以笔者见解，最直接就是利用人性的特点「诸事八卦的心理」及「向往拆解他人秘密的求知欲」。有位老师好朋友曾跟我说：「假若每位走进课室的老师也像主题公园的米奇老鼠、唐老鸭、高飞一样有趣，相信学生会非常非常喜欢学习。」笔者百分之二百认同这说法，因此经常向大家讲述一些鲜为人知的秘闻和新奇但实用的资讯。

现今社会流行以信息媒介沟通，读者不时要向朋友鸣谢或回复，一句【Thank You】或【You are welcome】或【OK】有时未免太平淡，不如学定几种其他说法傍身，大体得来又实用。

Thank you【向朋友道谢】
1. Thanks a million.
2. Thank you so much, you are …! (amazing, wonderful, a genius, a real talent, etc.)
3. I am grateful to you.
4. I truly appreciate of what you did.
5. I can’t thank you enough.
6. Much obliged.
7. Thanks for having my back.
8. Please accept my deepest gratitude.
9. Your support means the world.
10. That’s very kind of you.

You are welcome【回复道谢】
1. No worries.
2. My pleasure.
3. Glad to help.
4. Anytime.
5. Don’t mention it.
6. It’s all gravy.
7. It was nothing.
8. At your service.
9. Pleased to be of assistance.
10. Not at all.

1. Confirm.
2. Green Light.
3. Sounds good.
4. Works for me.
5. Okeydokey.
6. Why not?
7. My thoughts exactly.
8. Yes, by all means.

总结一句，要推动英语学习，必须从应用开始，把【它】活化。
