how to refuse an offer politely
To refuse: 'No, thank you.' This is not enough. It's rude unless you say it slowly and with a smile! To be very polite say: 'Thank you. That's really kind of you, but I can't because .' And give a reason. DON'T say 'I'm busy' but you CAN say 'I'm busy because I'm meeting a friend'.Other examples: 1.. Don't accept food you don't like. 3. Refuse an offer of help. (you don't need it or want it). 4. Refuse a kind offer to do your shopping for you. 5. Refuse an invitation to see a film you've seen before. 6. Refuse the offer of a lift in some-one's car.
