back to “Culture Tips,” Gary.
Gary: Thanks! It’s wonderful to be back! So, what’s our first e-mail question?
Eliz: Our first question is,”Do I need a credit card to travel in the United States?”
Gary: Excellent question. I would say it’s very important to have a credit card. First, having a
credit card makes travel in the United States much more convenient.
Eliz: In what ways?
Gary: Well, for example, it’s impossible to rent a car without a credit card. And credit cards
are accepted almost everywhere. Finally, if you carry credit cards, you don’t have to carry a
lot of cash.

Eliz: Those are all good points!
Gary: Just make sure you get a major credit card that is accepted worldwide.
Eliz: Thanks, Gary. Here’s another e-mail question about paying for things.“Should I use
checks in the United States?
Gary: Well, there are two important types of checks: traveler’s checks and personal checks.
Traveler’s checks are very convenient, since they are accepted in most places. They are
especially helpful if you want to buy something from a small shop that does not accept credit
cards.
Eliz: Oh, I see.
Gary: Personal checks, however, are much more difficult to use. Generally, merchants only
accept personal checks from local banks. They don’t accept out of town checks.
Gary: So, when you’re traveling, it’s better to use credit cards and traveler’s checks than
personal checks.
Eliz: Thanks, Gary. That was very helpful.
Gary: My pleasure!

Gary: Using the phrase “I’m afraid” is a very common way to begin a refusal. Some other
examples are,”I’m afraid I can’t help you,” or “I’m afraid he’s not here right now.” Another way
to begin a refusal is to say,”I’m sorry, but.” Saying that you’re sorry that you can’t be more
helpful is a very polite way to make a refusal.
Here’s an example from our bank dialog.
Customer: Could I see the manager please?
Bank teller: I’m sorry, but the manager, Mr. Grover, is out right now. Gary: Usually, after you
say you’re sorry, you give reason for your refusal. For example, of someone asks you to go
to lunch and you say you’re busy, you can say,”I’m sorry, but I have another engagement.”
If someone wants to speak to your colleague, but he’s not there, you can say,”I’m sorry, but
he’s not here right now.” Let’s listen to one more polite way to make a refusal. In our
example from the bank, the bank teller says,”Yes, I understand, but.” Let’s listen.
Customer: It’s very important that I cash this check
Bank teller: Yes, I understand, but it’s against bank policy.
Gary: Usually you say “Yes, I understand” when the other person is giving you reasons for a
request, and you want to show that you heard what the person said. Let’s hear the example
one more time.
Customer: It’s very important that I cash this check
Bank teller: Yes, I understand, but it’s against bank policy.
Gary: There are some less polite ways to make a refusal. Let’s hear some examples of
things you shouldn’t say.
Customer: Could I cash this personal check from my London bank?
Bank teller: No, that’s impossible.
Customer: It’s very important that I cash this check
Bank teller: I told you we can’t do that.
Gary: In this conversation, the bank teller is very rude to the customer. Remember, make
your refusals as polite as possible by saying “I’m afraid” and “I’m sorry.” Well, that’s all we
