The Spring Festival and the winter vacation are getting close, and the party season is 【1】. So, let’s talk about how to make, accept or refuse a party invitation.

Making an invitation:

In western 【2】, when you invite people to a party, the most popular expressions are perhaps, “Would you like to…?” “Will you be able to …?” “Do you want to …?” “I’d like to invite…” “Are you available on …” “I wonder if you could…?” and so on.

Accepting an invitation:

For this, you can say, “Thanks so much for 【3】 this.” “Yes, I’d love to.” “Great, thanks for the invitation.” etc. In addition, there’s a phrase “take sb. up on sth.”. That’s a more informal (非正式) expression, 【4】 “to accept an invitation from sb.”

Refusing an invitation:

If you have a full schedule and cannot accept the invitation, you’d 【5】 refuse in a polite manner. First, you should show your thanks for being invited. Then, give a reason why you cannot accept it. For example, “Thanks for the invitation. I’d 【6】 love to go, but...” “Thank you, but I’m sorry to 【7】, because...” “I wish I could, but...” Sometimes you must refuse, but you should be glad to help out with any of the 【8】 if you have time.

Now, you know how to make and reply to an invitation, right?

His mother was excited to see this. She asked him, “David, how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so quickly?”
