语法填空In the United States, people enjoy entertaining (招待) guests at home. So they invite {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(friend) over a meal, a party, or just for coffee. People often send {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (they) invitation by saying, "Would you come over for dinner this Saturday evening?" "Hey, we are having {#blank#}3{#/blank#}party on Friday. Could you join us?"
If people accept the invitation, they often say, "Yes, thank you."{#blank#}4{#/blank#}they cannot go, they may say "I'm sorry", and give an excuse for it.
Sometimes, people use some other {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(difference) kinds of expressions. They sound like invitations, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they are not real invitations. For example: "Please come over for a drink sometime." "Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
{#blank#}7{#/blank#} fact, these are not real invitations because they don't have a specific time or date. They just show that the person {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) trying to be friendly, and he or she would like {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(finish) a dialogue in a polite way. When people reply to expressions like these, they just say, "Sure, that would be great." or "OK, thanks." So next time you hear something like an invitation, listen {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(careful) to make sure if it is a real invitation or the person is just being friendly to you.
