It's better to spend more time on some useful {#blank#}1{#/blank#} .However, you may worry others will think you impolite or{#blank#}2{#/blank#} . What should you do? Here are some tips that may help you.
It is OK to make up white lies. That doesn't mean you are dishonest. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} , it may make both you and the other person pleased and comfortable.
When {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to a party or some other events that you do not want to take part in, you can say, “No, but thanks for the invitation. That's very kind of you.” In this way you can not only refuse{#blank#}5{#/blank#} but make the person who invited you feel comfortable.
When you don't want to lie, just tell the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} .
