Someone has kindly suggested a trip or outing that does not, in fact, appeal to you at all. What would you say?

You are offered some food or a drink which you know you cannot accept (perhaps for medical or religious reasons, rather than 'just' personal preference). How can you turn it down politely, after all the effort that someone has put into preparing it?

Choose the answer which fills the gap/s using the most accurate, stylish and appropriate English. 'You wouldn't like some of this sago pudding, would you?' ' ... ... . '

An English man, somewhat older than you, seems to have been watching you as you sit studying in a public place (such as a park or library). He may be entirely innocent and friendly, but you are not confident enough to be sure. He 'catches your eye', engages you in conversation and invites you to join him on the terrace of a local cafe. You do not wish to hurt his feelings, but neither would you be comfortable going with him. What do you say?

This time, you have genuinely enjoyed a new British experience: you have been to watch the Highland Games in Scotland, perhaps, or at least, you have tried a new British food and discovered that you liked it. But now you are tired and/or full, and your English friend is offering you some more of the same. What do you say?

You are in a queue outside a tourist landmark (e.g. Mme Tussaud's Waxworks in London), and people are pestering you to buy cheap souvenirs while you are waiting. You have no wish to buy any, nor to encourage them. What do you say when they ask you?

This time, you are walking along a main road in a British town when a young adult comes up to you. He/she is holding a clipboard and a small bag that appears to contain documents, and a badged tin for collecting money. You recognise that this person is working for a British charity ~ and wants to ask you some questions, take up your time, and may be trying to 'sign you up' to give regular money to the charity. Maybe you approve of this charity (it might be for medical research, or animals) but you would not feel comfortable in a long conversation on this topic. What do you say, as early as you can?

You are waiting in a public place for a British friend to meet you. A suspicious-looking stranger comes towards you and makes a suggestion which is inappropriate and/or illegal (e.g. offering you drugs, black-market currency exchange, or something rather personal that you very definitely don't want). What do you say?
