saluuut chers apprenants!!! un quiz vite sur les Électroménagers.

嗨，欢迎回到 “阿丽斯老师的日常英语”！很高兴你们能来到这里。今天，我们要讨论的是您可以在日常会话中做出的一个微小但有力的改变--用 “谢谢 ”代替 “对不起”。 许多英语学习者，甚至是母语使用者，都会经常使用 “对不起”。虽然在真正犯错时说 “对不起 ”很重要，但过度使用 “对不起 ”会让你显得不自信，甚至在某些情况下没有必要说 “对不起”。相反，改用 “谢谢 ”会让你的交流更积极、更有力量。 让我们来看看在哪些常见情况下你可能会说 “对不起”，以及如何以更自信、更感激的方式重新表达。 不要说 “对不起，我迟到了"。 说：“谢谢你等我”。 → 为什么？这种转变承认了对方的耐心，而不是专注于你的错误。它营造了一种更积极的语气。 .......................................................................................................................... 为什么限制 “对不起 ”很重要？ 过于频繁地使用 “对不起 ”会让你显得不够自信，甚至会削弱你所传达的信息。它还会让问题看起来比实际严重。当然，当你真的犯了错时，真诚的道歉是很重要的。但是，用 “谢谢 ”代替不必要的 “对不起”，你就能把消极的情况转化为积极的互动。 如需全文，请联系我们。 关注我，了解更多日常英语。 https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/13365914

Hi, and welcome back to Everyday English with Teacher Alyse! I’m so happy you’re here. Today, we’re going to talk about a small but powerful change you can make in your daily conversations—replacing the word sorry with thank you. Many English learners, and even native speakers, use "sorry" too often. While saying sorry is important when you truly make a mistake, overusing it can make you seem less confident and even unnecessary in some situations. Instead, shifting to thank you can make your communication more positive and empowering. Let’s go through some common situations where you might be tempted to say "sorry" and how to rephrase them in a more confident and appreciative way. Instead of saying: “I’m sorry I’m late.” ➝ Say: “Thank you for waiting for me.” → Why? This shift acknowledges the other person’s patience rather than focusing on your mistake. It creates a more positive tone. ............................................................................................................... Why Is It Important to Limit "Sorry"? Using "sorry" too often can make you seem less confident and even weaken your message. It can also make an issue seem bigger than it actually is. Of course, when you truly make a mistake, a sincere apology is important. But by replacing unnecessary "sorrys" with "thank yous," you turn negative situations into positive interactions.
