Learning to say “no” politely

The word “no” is easy to read. However, sometimes it’s hard to say it to others. When you want to say “no”with more politeness, what expressions can you use? Here     1     (be) some advice for you.

On a plane, when a service girl asks, “Do you need coffee?” You may hear this answer—“Thanks. I’m fine.” Here, the speaker doesn’t use the word “no” directly, but     2     (send) the message that he doesn’t want the coffee.

Another answer would suggest something else the girl can bring. For example, “No, thanks,but I’d like some water.”

The     3     (follow) are other indirect but polite ways of saying “no”.

●Sorry, I can’t do this right now.

●I’m afraid I can’t, but thank you for     4     (ask).

●Please accept that I cannot come.

Sometimes, it may be more difficult to say “no” to a     5     (friend) request. In this case, we should explain why we cannot help. Here is     6     example.

“Ryan, can you take care of     7     (I) pet cat tomorrow?”

“I’m sorry. I would like     8     (look) after it, but I’m going out. I know it will be hard for you to find someone to do so. I     9     (try) to help you next time.”

Now, you know there are good ways to say “no”if it is necessary     10     (refuse) others.
