Tom 邀请Wei Hong 参加他这周日的生日宴会，但Wei Hong的父母出差要到下个月回来，奶奶又卧病在床，需要人照顾。再说数学考试即将来临，因此，无法前去参加生日宴会。Li Ping感到很抱歉，只好给他写了封e-mail表示感谢。e-mail开头已写好。

Dear Tom,

Thank you very much for inviting me to your birthday party. I'd love to go but I can't.

My parents…

Letter A

Dear Rose,

　　 I listen to your programme every day and I like it very much. I'm now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go but I'm a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, and I know little about it.

　　 Should I bring a present, such as sweets or f1owers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I use the fork (叉子) and knife? How can let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness?

Wang Lin

Letter B

Dear Wang Lin,

　　 It's a good idea to bring a smal1 present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (酒) if you know that your friends drink it.

　　 You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you're going to be more than fifteen minutes 1ate, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know how to use the fork and knife, just watch the other peop1e, and do like them. If you sti1l have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.

　　 If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank them for the mea1 and for their kindness. It's a1so a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.

Rose
