I didn't realise that my niece in Glasgow had become quite such a ... ... young woman since my last visit to Britain.

... pretty ...

... voluptuous ...

... stunning ...

... beautiful ...

'Pretty' could be an example of English understatement (i.e., you say something 'softer' than what you actually mean).
'Voluptuous' is probably a bit too strong. If you were saying this as a man, it might suggest you found her so attractive that you almost had trouble controlling yourself, or even that you were indirectly criticising her for 'dressing too old' or wearing too much makeup. Somehow this word would not quite sound right if another woman were saying it (certainly a non-native speaker).
'Stunning' is perhaps a bit of a cliche but it is a stronger word than 'beautiful', which may be true, but it gets over-used.

'Thank you for that dinner: it was ... '

... good.'

... nice.'

... tasty.'

... delicious.'

This is the strongest answer; the first two are OK but rather 'bland'. 'Tasty' is also quite good (even if, privately, you think English cooking is less exciting than your own!)

Thanks for that mate, it's good.

Well done!

These are all right now.

Answer 1 is clearest and most positive.

All the other three answers here are basically negative ~ so don't use them, if you want to be polite!

Which of these brief film reviews (perhaps in a local paper, or online) do you find the strongest, so that you would want to see the film?

We quite liked this film. It had some good bits in, particularly the car chase.

Possibly one of the best love films ever, and the scenery is rather pretty.

Watch this film if you happen to have time, and if you like snakes and spiders.

Powerful drama, an explosive storyline, with heart-rending performances from Actor A and Actress B.

Answer 4 is clearly the most positive; the others all have elements of vagueness ('quite', 'possibly', 'if you happen ...') which limit the strength of their recommendation.

'Would you like some more of this black-pudding?'
' ... '

No thanks, that was disgusting.

I don't like it.

That's very kind of you ~ but no thanks, I think I've (probably) had enough for now.

It was truly horrible.

As with Question 5, this answer contains suggestions of how you could politely refuse, and give a reason (even if nobody really believes it).

'I don't think I understood all the jokes, but the mime act and the magician were ...'

... slightly funny.'

... fairly amusing.'

... absolutely hilarious.'

... just plain silly.'

We went to the country fair last weekend and it was really ...

... nice.

... fun.

... good.

... interesting.

If you have been to such an event, we certainly hope you enjoyed yourself ('fun'), but the strongest approval is to say that you found it interesting ~ this suggests that you stood or sat, with real interest, as the animals / historic vehicles (or whatever) did their performance. This word will help English people to feel that you have made an effort to enjoy and appreciate our culture, and that you found it a rewarding experience.
In some situations, 'interesting' can mean that you're not quite sure about something. You might say you found a new experience 'interesting' when you knew that you were expected/supposed to enjoy it (maybe someone took a lot of trouble to take you somewhere special and show you something), but in fact you didn't understand or like it very much.

You are having a bit of trouble doing something the English way. Someone offers to help you. What do you say?

No thanks, I'm all right.

I'm doing OK, thank you.

I'll be fine in a little while, thanks all the same.

Go away and leave me alone.

It may seem a bit fussy, but Answer 3 is also the most polite. It suggests that you are managing to improve through your own efforts and you do not wish, or need, to put them to any trouble over helping you. (This is a bit like in the Far East, where people do not like to 'lose face' by seeming stupid in front of someone else, or making them feel they have to help, which might be inconvenient for them.)
