Like ‘I want to quit smoking’, ‘I want to lose weight’, ‘I want to spend some more time with my family and friends', well these are the different types of resolution that people make. But if you have decided to improve your English this coming year, then it’s just the right time to learn new phrases and start using them immediately and that what’s we are going to learn in today’s lesson. How to wish people a very ‘Happy New Year’. Hey friends, it’s me Niharika. Back with a new lesson for you. Well today we are going to look at some phrases that would help you too wish others a very ‘Happy New year’. So how do you that? Now here we have some phrases for you that you can use with most of your friends, family and business colleagues. So we are going to start with the very first one which is ‘Raising a toast’. Now usually on 31st of December most of us are partying and gearing up to welcome the New Year. So, most of us are drinking and we raise our glasses and propose a toast. Now how do you do that when you want to welcome the New Years? Well this is the one that you can use when you are partying with your friends and family. So when you are all set to raise your glasses this is the phrase that you can use which is ‘Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right’ now don’t say this with a very sad tone, you have to be really excited, you are have such a great time with your friends. So raise your glasses and ‘Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right’. This is the way you can ‘Raise a toast’ on this New Year’s Eve. Moving on to another one that I have for you, in fact it’s another way to propose a toast especially when you are having a good time with your business colleagues or with the people you that you work with. Maybe your seniors and your peers. So what can you say when you are raising your glasses and proposing a toast? Well this is a great phrase to use ‘Cheers for yesterday’s achievements and tomorrow’s brighter future’. So here you are really happy about all the success that you have achieved the past year and now you are looking forward and being very positive for another great year. So yes use this phrase when you are with your business colleagues or with your seniors say ‘Cheers for yesterday’s achievements and tomorrow’s brighter future’, okay. So these two phrases can be used topropose a toast. Moving on to another one that I have for you,it’s a great way to wish someone or rather wishing your friends and family members. You know when its new year’s time you really want to touch someone’s heart and make the occasion very special. So now to do so it’s important for you to use the right words. And in English, how do you do that? What are the perfect words to wish someone a very happy new year? Well firstly you would make them feel very special. The first one ‘You made my year exceptionally amazing so here’s wishing you a very happy new year’ so rather than just saying ‘A very happy new year to you’ let’s make them feel more special by using these words, trust me that would really work ‘You made my year exceptionally amazing and here’s wishing you a very happy new year’. Moving on to another one, again when you want to share the warmth and the goodwill what are the perfect words that you can use, ‘May your year be filled with warmth, adoration and cheer’ so here you want to share great feelings, you want happiness to spread in their lives. So these are great words that you can use when you are wishing someone, ‘so may your year be filled with warmth, adoration and cheer’. So use these two phrases when you are with your friends or you are wishing your close friends or family members. So that’s a great phrase to use. And then moving on to another one which I have for you, especially when you are wishing your business colleagues or you are wishing your clients, seniors or peers. Well please don’t miss them out because they are extremely important people in your lives, am I right? Because friends and family definitely top the list. However, it’s important to wish your business people or the people that you work with. So a great phrase to use to wish them a happy new year is, ‘May all your endeavours meet huge success’ and you can also add another term that ‘May all your endeavours meet huge success and appreciation’. So this the way you can wish probably your boss okay, you want something nice happen to him, you want that the new year should be extremely successful for him or for her. So perfect words that you can use to wish a new year to him or her is, ‘May all your endeavours meet huge success and appreciation’, alright. And then another one that I have for you that you can use againin the business world is, ‘May this new year bring more wonderful opportunities to work together’. Now you can use this when you are really looking forward to work with someone and achieve your goals or success. Proabbly these are your business clients, or your seniors and you are really looking forward to work with them again because your experience with them was just amazing and you do not want to lose an opportunity impressing them.
