Most people learn the importance of the magic words “please” and “thank you” at a very early age. As you go through life, you see better things happen when you don't forget to say them, and that people warm up to you more quickly. Here are some of the most common expressions.
Please. This is one of those words that can show good manners (礼仪). Any time you ask for some- thing, it's always a good idea to add this word to soften the request.
Thank you. When someone does something nice for you or gives you a gift, you should always say, “Thank you,” even if it's something you dislike. Not doing so gives the impression that you feel entitled (有资格的) to whatever it is.
May I...? The expression “May I...?” puts you on the same side as the person you are speaking to. For example, when you say, “May I see that book?” you give the person a chance to share what he is looking at.
Excuse me. This expression is used when you are asking forgiveness (原谅) for leaving the table, coughing, or troubling somebody.
Pardon me. This expression can be exchanged with “Excuse me”. The expression “Pardon me” sounds more formal (正式的).
