What’s up? or Difficulties with English (4)
While I was giving a beginner’s class a lesson, somebody violently sneezed. One of the brightest students reacted promptly, ‘Cheers!’ trying to impress the others. He felt a bit embarrassed after I explained that people say cheers when they raise their glasses to drink, especially alcohol, in order to wish somebody or each other good health, success, happiness, etc. People say ‘Bless you!’ after somebody has sneezed.
