  In Britain,people often invite friends to a meal,a party or just a cup of coffee. People who know each other very well一close friends,family members or neighbours―visit each other's houses without an invitation (邀請(qǐng)). When people invite someone to their homes,they often say, "Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?" Answers are "Thanks. We'd love to. What time?" or "I'm sorry. We'd love to,but we have tickets for the concert." However,it is not polite to say "No， we wouldn't!"

   Sometimes,the British use expressions (表達(dá))that sound like invitations but not real ones. For example, "You must come over for a drink sometime." or "Let's go out for a meal one of these days." These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk. They are not real invitations because they don't mention an exact (確切白勺)time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are "Yes,that would be nice." or "OK,yes,thanks."

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

Dear Editor,

My name is Greg and I am a reader of your magazine. I would like to tell you something about my friends. I came to study at a new school here two years ago. I found it more difficult to make friends here than at my old school. However,I still made two new friends. One of them is Jenny. She is the first person I met in my new class and she is very kind to me. She is a good listener and she can always keep my secrets. I have not met many people like Jenny at my new school,and I think Jenny is a very special girl. I like her very much. I met James,my other best friend,at an ice-skating club. I am a shy person and I often feel nervous in front of strangers,but I found it really easy to chat with James. He is as kind as Jenny,and he often helps me practise my skating skills. James has a good sense of humour. He often tells jokes and can always make me laugh. I am really lucky to have Jenny and James as my good friends! Yours,Greg
