often invite friends to come over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and a
conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their
home:
"Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?"
"Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?"
To 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?" or "Oh, sorry.
I've tickets to a movie."
Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but
which are not real invitations. For example :
"Please come over for a drink sometime."
"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending 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 friendly. To reply to expressions like
these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. / Yes, thanks."
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully.
Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
B. Because they can spend less money.
C. Because they enjoy entertaining at home.
D. Because they have modern and beautiful houses.
B. Please go to the cinema with me some day.
C. Would you like to have a cup of tea with us sometime?
D. I've two tickets here. Can you go to the concert with me tonight?
B. How about this weekend?
C. Oh, sorry. I'm very busy.
D. That's great. I'll be there on time.
B. they're trying to be helpful
C. they're trying to make friends
D. they're trying to be useful
B. real invitations or not
C. expressions of starting a conversation
D. ways of ending a conversation
