        In Britain,people often invite friends for a meal,a party or just coffee. People who know each other very well may visit each other's  houses without an invitation (邀请),but if we invite new friends,usually an invitation is needed. When people invite someone to their homes,they often say ,“Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?” Answers are ,“Thanks,we ,d love to. What time?” or “I'm sorry. We’d love to,but we have tickets for the concert. ” However,it is not polite to say, “No,we wouldn’t. ”

For example, “You must come over for a drink sometime. ” or “Let's go out for a meal one of these days. These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk.

(B1  One of Millie's favourite British writers is jane Austen. She wonts to find out more about the writer. She has found this article on the Internet. Read it with her.

       Jane Austen—a great British writer 

Jane Austen is one of Britain's greatest female writers. She was born on 16 December 1775. She was the seventh of eight children and never lived apart from her family. To entertain themselves,the children wrote and performed plays. Even as a little girl,Jane was encouraged to write.

As a young woman,Jane enjoyed dancing,and she went to many parties that were held in the great houses of the neighbourhood. She loved the country and enjoyed long country walks.

At the age of 14 ,Jane Austen wrote her first novel,Love and Friendship. In her early twenties she began to write her most famous novels—Sense and Sensibility,Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey. Yet these books were not published until many years later. Northanger Abbey was not published until 1818 —a year after her death.

Sadly,Jane became very ill while she was still young. She died in her sister's arms on 18 July 1817. None of the books that were published in Jane Austen's lifetime had her name on them—they were described as being written "by a lady” .

As a result,Jane Austen was not very famous in her lifetime,and her books only became popular after her death. Her books are now some of the most read and studied books in the world.
