L’hippopotame qui vole
Rasto, l'hippopotame, a une idée fixe depuis une semaine : il veut apprendre à voler. Il observe bien les oiseaux et il bat des pattes tant qu’il peut mais, évidemment, il ne décolle pas d’un centimètre. Il est tellement acharné qu’il en oublie de manger et de dormir. Ses parents sont très inquiets.
Hier, il s’est jeté du haut d’un rocher de douze mètres et il a atterri sur le ventre.
- Il va finir par se tuer ! gémit maman hippopotame.
Heureusement, le lièvre malin a eu une idée de génie : il a inscrit Rasto à une école de parapente. Enfin, l'hippopotame peut voler. Quelle joie !

Histoire 15 - L’hippopotame qui vole

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.
