Learn to Refuse

Believe it or not, I’ve always been a people pleaser. I often put others before myself because I want to make my friends happy.1..

“Can you help me with my English?” Grace asked me on the first day after she became my desk mate. “Of course,” I replied without hesitation（猶豫）. Grace has been working really hard on her studies and needed my help — although I didn’t have much time left for her.

One day after school, while I was doing a huge amount of homework, Grace’s phone call came. 2., but I still felt bad about saying no. When Grace ended the call, the clock said it was 00:15 am. But I still had homework left and I wanted to sleep. This was bad for a Junior 3 student who is going to take an important exam this June.

Finally I burst into tears. I felt so tired and realized that the stress had an effect on

my health. I tried to get myself out. Studying is more important than other things,3. . It’s now important for me to say no, no, no. “Can you do me a favor?” Grace asked last Monday. “Sorry I just have to review my biology notes,” I answered. “All right, it’s up to you,” she said. I felt completely relaxed when I heard her reply.4.

To be honest, I have felt much happier since learning to refuse. I have more time to spend on my study at present. I still try my best to help others,5. .

A.She complained a lot and it made me feel bored

B.If anyone asks me for help, I always say, “yes!”

C.Anyway, it’s not so hard to say no at all

D.but sometimes I say no because I know everyone has a limit

E.so Grace has to come the second
