Question

    Invitations are important. They help us to make and to keep good relationships.

When people accept an invitation to a dinner or party, they will ask what they can bring. Adults (成年人) often take flowers, chocolates, or a bottle of wine to say “thank you”. People usually take a birthday present to a birthday party. Teenagers and children often take some candy, cookies or computer games to share with their friends. Teenagers also take CDs of their favorite kinds of music with them.

After a dinner or birthday party, most people telephone the host to say “thank you”. Some people write a short thank-you letter or send an e-mail to the host.

When we can’t accept an invitation, it is polite to say why we can’t go, for example, we have another invitation at that time or on that day, or that we have an important appointment with someone else.
