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 homes:
"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,
Fd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh, sorry. I"ve tickets for 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 not get together for a party 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 certain 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?

| There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between December and April every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel. Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the waiter disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts. The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel. In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof (屋顶), the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel"s bar. The sun heats (使变热) the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room costs＄40 a night, and a double room costs＄60. A sign on the hotel"s wall tells guests,"Please don"t lick (添) the walls." | |
