1. C. READING I. Read the passage and choose the best answer for questions. (2points) In Britain, people enjoy entertaining at home. They often invite friends for a meal, a party or just for coffee and conversation. People who know each other very well - close friends, family or neighbors - call at each other’s home without an invitation, but usually an invitation is needed. Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home. “Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?” Or “We are having a party on Friday. Can you come?” Replies are: “Thanks, we’d love to. What time?” or “I’m sorry. We’d love to but we have tickets for a concert” Sometimes the British use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations, for example: “You must come over for a drink.”, “Let’s go out for a meal one of these days”. These are just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention a specific time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers to these expressions are: “Yes, that would be nice.” Or “OK, yes, thanks”.
