        In Britain,people often invite friends for a meal,a party or just coffee. People who know each other very well may visit each other's  houses without an invitation (邀請(qǐng)),but if we invite new friends,usually an invitation is needed. 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 that sound like invitations but which are not invitations. 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 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?

 Carl,one of the American exchange students,said that curry is one of his favourite food. Daniel wants to learn more about curry. He has found this article on the Internet. Read it with him.

Curry around the world

"Curry" is the English word used to describe meat or vegetables in a spicy sauce,usually served with rice. It is believed that the word "curry" comes from the Tamil word "kari".

Curries have been very popular dishes in many Asian countries throughout history. Although curry is believed to originally come from India,it has been eaten in many other Asian countries—such as Pakistan,Bangladesh,Sri Lanka,Nepal,Indonesia,Malaysia and Thailand—for thousands of years.

Today curries are eaten all over the world. This tasty and spicy dish was brought to the West by British people from India in the 17th century.

What we call "curry" today is an international dish that is well known around the world. Over time and distance,the flavours of dishes change so that the people eating the dish will like it. For example,the most popular curry in restaurants in the UK is called chicken tikka masala. Many British people think this is an Indian dish. However,it is really a dish created by restaurants in the UK and is not a traditional Asian dish at all.

Today curry is loved by people all over the world,unless,of course,they do not like spicy food!
