As British accent makes the speaker sound like a lady or a gentleman, many people want to learn how to talk like the British. However, compared with American English, British accent is supposed to be harder to acquire. It is true that talking like a native speaker can be hardly achieved, but some typical British English expressions can be easily learnt.
If you want to talk like the British, say “Cheers.” rather than “Thanks” in informal conversations. For example, in the UK, there’s usually only one door for getting on and off the bus. When people get off the bus, they would say “Cheers.” with a strong British accent to thank the driver. Apart from that, “Cheers” are casually used by British people in daily informal conversations for small favours, such as opening doors for you, lending you a pen or giving you receipts. It is not as formal as “Thanks” or “Thank you”, but it’s used in a rather high frequency in daily conversations.
Although it could be too dramatic and weird to talk like the ladies and gentlemen in Jane Austin’s work, the politeness and gentility are still appreciated in modern British English. If one bumps into or steps on others in a crowded bus or on the street accidentally, they would immediately say “Sorry.” Besides, “Excuse me” is also used a lot when one needs to interrupt others, even including calling the waitress. “Could/Would you please…” is another common expression in British English to express requests or suggestions.
Chinese sometimes ask “Did you have your dinner?” as a kind of greeting. In fact, speakers may merely want to show his/her kindness and have no intention to ask whether you had dinner or not. English also has some similar expressions. Chinese students were taught at school that when a customer went to a store, shop assistants would ask “What can I do for you?” However, in the UK, except for some luxury stores, no sales assistants would greet and follow customers around as those in China. Only when customers ask for help or look like lost will sales assistants come up to ask “Are you all right?” It seems that they are providing help, but customers would normally respond “Yeah, thanks.” unless they were really seeking for help.
If you want to talk like a British, use British English expressions rather than American ones.

And the British use “tube/underground” for “subway”. “Trousers” is a kind of outwear while “pants” refers to underwear.

This finding is the first evidence of active hydrothermal vents (热液喷口) beyond the oceans of Earth. Moreover, conditions deep under the icy surface of Enceladus could be similar to those that gave rise to the first life on Earth, the researchers reported in the new study.
