Jane: I promise I won't copy it or anything like that. Becky: I'm sorry, Jane, it just doesn't feel right. I'd be happy to talk about your project with you, though, if you need my help. Now talk about how the speakers make requests and refusals. Listen again if necessary. requests asking someone to do something for you asking if you can do something ① ② refusals direct refusals indirect refusals vague refusals If you have to say no to a request, your refusal will sound more polite if you begin with a statement of regret, such as I’m sorry…, I’d really like to, but…. Then explain why your answer is no, e.g. I’m really busy right now. If possible, suggest an alternative – How about next week? Learning to learn Here are some common ways for making requests: Could/Can you open the door for me, please? Would you mind opening the door for me, please? May I ask you to open the door for me, please? asking someone to do something for you Can / Could I use your computer, please? Do you mind if I turn up the heating? Would you mind if I turned up the heating? asking someone if you can do something Notes: Could is more polite that can. Do you mind if …+ present tense, would you mind if… + past tense. No ‘please’ in the two sentences. It’s already polite enough. direct refusals A: Can I borrow some money from you? B: Sorry, you can’t. A: I’m attracted by you. What about you? B: Sorry, I’m not interested in you at all. indirect refusals A: Do you want to join us to watch movies? B: Yes, I’d like to, but I need to finish my homework today. A: I’m attracted by you. What about you? B: Thank you for your favor, but maybe we are not suitable for each other. vague refusals A: Can you lend me some money? B: Err…. Well, it depends on my wife’s mood.
