Saying no can be very difficult. People who are very shy often have little confidence (自信). It is very hard for them to say no. They would feel shy when they say no, but doing things that they don’t want to do will make them unhappy.
A simple and direct “No” is the best way. If you want to explain, you can keep it simple. Just say, “No, I’ve already made plans for this time” or “No, I’m not free at that time.”
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 asking.
● Please accept that I cannot come.
● I’d rather not.
To say no you should:
● Start the sentence with the word “No”.

Cameron Patterson, a British student, spent most of his childhood in China. He has seen many great changes in the country over the past 15 years, especially trains.
At the age of 8, Patterson moved from Wales to join his father in Shanxi. In the following years, he and his parents lived in a few cities. They also travelled a lot during holidays. However, traveling itself wasn’t always relaxing. When his family moved from Jiangsu to Guangdong, they took the old green train and spent one and a half days on the trip.

Jiao was seriously ill at that time, but still kept working to help people till the end of his life. Jiao devoted (献身) himself to improving people’s life. “He was really great. I learned a lot from him,” said Patterson.

Civilized Etiquette Begins with Me
Our school held the activity Civilized Etiquette Begins with Me, whose goal is to change students’ images.
Great changes appear in students. In outward look, their hairstyle becomes neat and standard. They form the good habit to wash hands every day for personal hygiene. When meeting teachers, they greet teachers politely instead of passing by silently.
To be civilized middle school students, we have clear rules. First, we must speak politely in all campus occasions. Second, we should pick up rubbish to keep the school clean. What’s more, we need to respect teachers and get along well with classmates.
