新东方中考英语阅读理解：欧式聚会
In the United States and Canada，people often invite friends over for a
meal，a party，or just coffee.
Here are the kinds of things people always say.“Would you like to come over
for dinner tonight?”“Hey，we're having a party on Friday.Can you come?To reply to
an invitation，either say thank you and accept(接受)，or say sorry and give an
excuse(藉口).Sometimes，however(但是)，what people say is like invitations but which
are not real invitations.For example：“Please come over for a drink
sometime.”“Let's get together for lunch soon.”They are not real invitations
because they don't talk about the date or time.They just show that the person is
trying to be friendly.To reply to this，people just say“Sure，that would be
great.”or“OK，thank you.”So next time you hear what is like an invitation，listen
carefully.Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
