There are two really important things to ____ in mind when talking to Brits and interpreting their speech. Firstly, the ____ and the ____ will help you hear whether the person is being ____ or whether there's another meaning behind their words. Secondly, Brits avoid being ____, and they need different phrases to ____ the blow and make it easier to ____ something, which can be annoying for the listener. Here are some expressions used for that purpose. 1 “I’ll bear that in ____” is used when they 1) ____ the idea but they don't want to be too direct in rejecting it in that moment; 2) or they might just need some time to think about it ____. 2 They use “____ do” as a nice soft way to reject an idea, it is often followed by a counter suggestion to ____ how much they hate the original idea. 3 “I’d love ____, but…” is the perfect way to ____ an invitation in a polite way, a ____ way to say “NO”. 4 “Let's ____ a drink sometime, yeah?” is used to suggest a ____ social plan, to ____ a conversation with an ____ or an awkward social situation.
