It was one week before Teachers' Day! Tom's mother was very busy. But she didn't forget to buy cards for her son's teachers. She drove to a gift store on her way home from work. When she came back, she put the cards on the table in the living room. She was so busy that she did not have time to write them.

When Tom came home from school, she said to him,“Here are the cards for your teachers, and here are some stamps(邮票),a pen and our book of addresses(地址). Can you write the cards when I am cooking the dinner?" Tom did not say anything, but walked out of the living room and went into his room. Tom's mother was a little unhappy,' but she did not say anything, either. She knew that her son always talked little. She was just thinking how to teach Tom to be thankful and make him write the cards.

In America, people often invite friends for a meal, a party or just coffee. People often say like these, “Would you like to come over for dinner?” “We’re having a party on Friday, can you come?” To answer an invitation, the say “Thank you” and accept, or say “Sorry” and give a reason.

Sometimes, what people say is like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Let’s get together for lunch soon.” They are not real invitations because they don’t talk about the date or time. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. People usually answer “Sure, that would be great.” or “OK, thank you.” So next time you hear what is like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
