4.If you meet a British person in the street,it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault or not.
  It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry.Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day-and one in eight  people apologize as many as 20 times a day.
  As you may have seen,the British apologize more often than members of other cultures.A research shows that in many cases,people's love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans.For example,about 15 British people would say"sorry"will only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed,if they corrected someone's mistakes or if someone knocked into them.
  In the old days,"sorry"was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong.But now British people use expression as a way of showing good manners.For example,they might say"sorry"instead of"excuse me","pardon","what"or"whatever".
  People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feeling with others-so they might say"sorry about the rain"
  However,British people's use of"sorry"may make things very confusing and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways.But actully,people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others.This is the very reason why they apologize every day.

A.what daily expressions British people often use
