It's not too polite just to say, "Don't want ..."
You might want to say, "Please, I don't want ..."
by saying:  Qing, wo bu yao fong wai jing
Qing sounds like 'ching'
yao like 'yow', wai like 'why' .
and please remember that: bu is usually falling but in front of yao (also
falling intonation) the bu (falling) changes to a bu (rising).
