Every country has its own culture.People in the UK, especially British people, don't like to say "no" 16 they think it is rude.But this can be a problem for people from other countries.When you learn 17 you learn to say things like "Yes, please" and "No, thank you" when somebody asks you if you want something.But real life is not always so 18 .It's more complex than you think. 19 you offer something to British people, they often say, "I'm all right, thanks. " When they say this, they mean that they already have everything they 20 , so it is a way to say no.Unluckily, saying " all right" is also a way to say 21 .The same phrase （短语） can be used in 22 ways to mean both yes and no!
Manjit works in a tourist shop. "British people are 23 customers. " he said. "If you offer something to them, they say, ' Maybe later', even when they plan 24 to buy it. "
Saying yes is not much 25 , said Manjit, "When they want to buy something, they sometimes don't say yes.They say, 'Sure' or 'Why not？' It's so confusing （令人困惑的）!"
