I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.

“Thanks. We’d love to. What time?” or “___小題1:___”However, it is not polite to say “No, we wouldn't!”
Sometimes, the British use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not invitations. For example, “___小題2:___” These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk. They are not real invitations because they don't mention an exact time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are “Yes, that would be nice.” or “___小題3:___”.
So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

小題4:What is the article mainly about?
A．Britain.B．A letter to friends.C．Invitations.D．A talk with friends.
