英文小作文：

Demurring is a common behavior in daily life, especially when we are faced with decisions or suggestions that we are not sure about or do not agree with. Sometimes, we may demur to avoid making a decision or to express our reluctance or reservation about something. However, it is important to be clear and direct about our feelings and concerns, rather than avoiding the issue or making excuses.

It is a way of showing that we value their input and are willing to listen and consider their suggestions before making our own decisions.
