#4 All Ears English-AEE 702: You’re Welcome, Sure, No Problem- What’s the Difference?

     Our teacher introduced another website for listening podcast which is called All Ears English this week. And I choose this episode "AEE 702: You’re Welcome, Sure, NoProblem- What’s the Difference?" which interests me as my assignment. I would like to share some new vocabulary and the difference between when people respond you’re welcome, sure and no problem when someone says “thank you".

And I will share my comments on this website in the end.

The Difference between “You’re Welcome”, “Sure” and “No Problem”

“You’re welcome”: More formal, older, use this when it’s a big thing that you did for the person

“Sure”: Very casual, fast-paced, strangers, impersonal

“No problem”: You are saying it’s not a problem. This is casual, too.

Comments:

     This is my first time to use All Ears English. I would like to say it is an okay website for learning English. The contents from this website are very casual and natural, so it makes people willing to learn and also can learn pretty native English. However, this website can be better when they improve a part which is its advertisement .When I listening to the podcast, they interrupted in the middle to insert an advertisement. Sometimes, it really make me felt annoyed. Except this point, it is good website for us to learn how to speak English like a native speaker.
