Text-related information New Practical English 2 Are You Really Being Invited? If someone asks if you are free at a certain time and invites you to an event, you are not required to commit yourself until you know what the invitation is for. For example, if you say that youre free and the invitation turns out to be something youd hate to do (a trip to a local sight youve seen ten times), then you will be in a position to take back your acceptance or invent an excuse later. commit v. entrust, hand over, make oneself responsible 使 承担（保证），使作出保证；把交托给 invent v. discover and create something new 发明， 设计, 编造 New Practical English 2 If an invitation must be refused, most people expect a reason.

New Practical English 2 In many instances it is the inviter who pays, as one would expect, but in some instances each one pays his or her own check: You “go Dutch.” This is often the case with friends in informal situations, such as “Lets go and get a beer” or “Want a cup of coffee?” In some parts of the country, however, some people like to entertain friends by taking them to a restaurant for dinner instead of having dinner at home. instance n. certain situation, circumstance or occasion, case or example 情况，情形，事例 e.g. There have been several recent instances of planes taking off without adequate safety checks.

New Practical English 2 If you want to invite someone for a meal at a restaurant, be explicit: “Id like to take you to”Americans should be explicit also, but they often assume you know the local customs in the matter.
