Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to another
Happy English Sunday. Speak every Sunday, I'll be here with
a quick one point tip to help you speak English
more naturally. Now, sometimes in English we need to say
no or decline an invitation. But just saying no can
sound too direct or even a little rude. So let's
look at some casual, yet polite, natural ways to say no.
If someone invites you to do something and you really
don't want to do it, you can say I'll pass,
like Hey, you want to come out for cut, Okay, tonight, Thanks,
I'll pass. Or it's really not my thing, like do
you want to go bouldering? Nah, it's not really my thing.
And the one that I like to use all the
time is it's not my cup of tea, Like everyone's
watching that new horror movie, but scary films are not
my cup of tea, So I'll pass. It's not really
my thing, and it's not my cup of tea. When
you need to refuse or decline something, these all sound softer,
more polite, and very natural. So how about you, what's
something that's not your cup of tea? Leave a comment
