I don’t feel like it right now., Your professor asks you to present at an academic conference next month. Question: Which refusal is most appropriate?, No thanks, I’m not interested., Sorry professor, I can’t. I’m too busy., Thank you so much for the opportunity, professor. I really appreciate you thinking of me. Unfortunately, I have two major exams and a big project due around that time, so I won’t be able to prepare properly. I’d be very happy to participate in future events., I wish I could, but no., A classmate you don’t know very well asks you to do their part of a group project because they are “too busy with work”. Question: Which refusal is most appropriate?, No chance. Do your own work. I’m not carrying you., I’m sorry, but I can’t take on extra work right now. I already have my own part to finish, and we all need to contribute equally., I wish I could help, but I’m afraid I can’t., Fine, send me what you have and I’ll do it., Your best friend invites you to their house party on the same day you planned to study for finals. Question: Which is the best refusal?, Nah, I’m not coming. I need to study., I’m really sorry, but I can’t come to the party. I have finals next week and I need to focus on studying. I feel bad missing it though. Let’s hang out right after exams?, Maybe another time., I can’t. Your parties are always chaotic., Your best friend is obsessed with a new online game and wants you to join an all-night gaming tournament with him and his squad this Friday. Question: Which is the most appropriate refusal? , Nah, that game sucks. I’m not wasting my night on it., Sorry, I can’t., You know I love gaming with you, but this Friday I promised my little brother I’d take him to the amusement park. I can’t cancel on him. How about we play together Sunday afternoon instead?, Maybe later. I’m not really into that game., A classmate you talk to occasionally is organizing a dance team for the school festival and wants you to join the performance team. Question: Which refusal is most appropriate?, No thanks, dancing in front of everyone sounds embarrassing., I’m sorry but I can’t join.

But I can help you with the music playlist or posters if you need., I wish I could, but no., I don't want to join you., Your literature professor asks you to be the student coordinator for a big poetry reading night she’s organizing in two weeks.Question: Which is the best refusal? , Thank you for offering me this opportunity, professor. I’m truly flattered. Unfortunately, I’m already leading a group project for another course during the same period, so I wouldn’t be able to give it the attention it deserves. I’d be very glad to help promote the event or read a poem myself if that would still be useful., I’m afraid I can’t do it., I don’t have time for that., No thank you., Your friend just got a new motorcycle and wants you to skip afternoon classes to go on a long ride to the mountains with him.

Sorry., No., A classmate from your elective course wants you to be their partner for a 10-minute stand-up comedy performance in front of the whole class next week. Question: Which is the most appropriate way to refuse?, No way, I’m not funny at all. You’ll embarrass both of us., Haha, that’s a bold idea! I really appreciate you asking me, but performing comedy makes me extremely nervous. I don’t think I’d be a good partner. Maybe you can find someone more outgoing? I can help you brainstorm jokes though., I can’t do that., You are not funny. I don't want to join you., Your best friend has been practicing guitar for months and just got his first gig at a small café this Saturday night. He really wants you there as moral support. Question: Which is the most appropriate refusal? , Sorry man, live music isn’t really my thing., Nah, I’m not coming. Cafés are boring., You can't play the guitar. I think, you shouldn't go there and get up on stage and make a fool of yourself, I’m so proud of you for getting your first gig! I’d really love to be there cheering for you, but my grandparents are visiting from another city this weekend and I promised I’d spend the evening with them. Can you record the performance so I can watch it later? I’ll come to your next one for sure!.
