阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining (请客) at home. They often invite friends over __【1】__ a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.

Here are the __【2】__ (kind) of things people say when they invite someone to their home:

“Would you like to come over for dinner Saturday night?” “Hey, we __【3】__ (have) a party on Friday. Can you come?”

__【4】__ (reply) to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you’re sorry and give an excuse: “Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” __【5】__ “Oh, sorry. I’ve tickets for a movie.”

Sometimes, __【6】__, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example: “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why not get together for __【7】__ party sometime?” “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?”

They are really just polite ways of __【8】__ (end) a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention a specific (确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be __【9】__ (friend).To reply to expressions like these, people just say “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK. Yes, thanks.”

So next time when you hear __【10】__ sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
