CHAPTER 17 INVITATION, REFUSAL, AND ACCEPTANCES


CHAPTER 17
INVITATION, REFUSAL, AND ACCEPTANCES






A. Touchy Topics

In Canada and the United states, people enjoy entertaining at home. They often invite friends over 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 home:
“Would you like to come over for dinner 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 are sorry and give an excuse:
“Thanks, I’d love to. What time would you like me to come?” or
“Oh, sorry. I have tickets for a movie.”

Sometimes, however, people use expression that sound like invitations, but which are not real invitation. For example:
“Please come over for a drink sometime.”
“Let’s get together for lunch soon.”
“Why don’t you come over and see us sometime?”

These are really just polite ways of ending conversation. They are not real invitation because they do not mention a specific time or date. They just show that person is trying to be friendly. To reply the expressions like these, people just say:
“Sure, that would be great!”
“OK, yes, thanks.”

So, next time you hear what sounds like invitations, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
