They often invite friends for a meal, a party or just for coffee and conversation.Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes: “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?” “Hey, we’re having a party on Friday. Can you come?”To answer an invitation, either say thank you and accept or say you are sorry and give an excuse. “Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “ Oh, sorry. I’ve tickets for a movie.” Sometimes, however, people in the west use expressions(语句) that sound like invitation but which are not real invitation. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why not get together for a party sometime?” or “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?” They are really polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention(提到) a certain time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To answer expressions like this, people just say, “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK! 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?( )31. Why do Canadians and Americans often invite friends for meals at home?A. Because they have modern and beautiful houses.B.

If you drop it, it will jump back.But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life.

We learn how to be brave by taking chances.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible.
