今年放假我又回不了家了，这次我父母又要失望了。你有什么计划？ 我计划去郊区住一个月。你不是已经买好火车票了吗？你到底怎么打算的呀？ 昨天一个外地的好朋友打电话说要来旅游，让我当导游，我实在不好意思拒绝。 其实拒绝并不表示不愿意帮忙。遇到解决不了的问题或者无法完成的任务时，拒绝正好说明你对朋友负责。这也是对你父母负责的态度。 既然别人找我帮忙，说明他真的很需要我的帮助。我担心要是说“不”的话，会让他误会和伤心。 别担心！如果你用一个既合适又礼貌的方法告诉朋友，他一定会原谅你的。

This year during the holidays I can’t go home again, and this time my parents will be disappointed again. Do you have any plans? I plan to stay in the suburbs for a month. Didn't you already buy the train ticket? What exactly are you planning? Yesterday, a good friend from out of town called to say they wanted to come for some sightseeing and asked me to be the tour guide; I really was too embarrassed to refuse. Actually, refusing does not mean you are unwilling to help. When you encounter a problem you cannot solve or a task you cannot complete, a refusal just shows that you are being responsible to your friends. This is also an attitude of being responsible to your parents. Since someone asked me for help, it shows that he really needs my help. I'm worried that if I say 'no', it will make him misunderstand and feel hurt. Don't worry! If you tell your friend in a way that is both appropriate and polite, he will definitely forgive you.
