The title of this unit is that Can you come to my party?Do you like parties? I think most of you will say,” Yeah”. At the party we have lots of fun eating, drinking, singing, dancing and talking. And we can also make new friends. But how do you answer when someone asks you to take part in a party? If you want to go to the party,you can say,” Sure, Id love to.” If you have to do some other things at the same time, you can say,“Im sorry. I have to -.”Please look at the blackboard and read after me the target language for this unit. When you read, pay attention to the structure of the sentence.Can you come to my party?-Sure, Id love to.Can you come to my party?-Im sorry. I have to study for a test.In some cultures, it is not considered polite to accept an invitation the first time it is offered. In such places people usually thank the person but do not give a definite answer at that time. But in the United States it is polite to accept or refuse an invitation the first time it is offered. Also, Americans usually give a reason when they have to say no to an invitation. 1A: Matching the words with the picturesPlease look at the picture. The boy in the middle will hold a party. Can everyone come to the party? Each thought bubble shows a person doing something. Please tell me what you see in each scene.

Do you know whos who? Now please listen to the conversation. Especially listen to Sun Nings words carefully. He says the names of each person he is inviting.

Suppose you are the students in the picture. One of you is students A inviting the other three students to your party. The other students are B, C and D, saying if you can go or not. If you cant go, remember to give a reason. A: Can you come to my party on Saturday afternoon? B: Sure. Id love to.C: Sorry, I cant. I have to prepare for an exam.D: Im sorry, too.
