《2025年暑假Happy假日七年级英语鲁教版五四制》

A
Have you ever been invited to a dinner? Maybe you did not want to go or maybe you want to go but have no time. Turning down an invitation makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but sometimes turning down the offer is the only decision that we can make. About how to refuse an invitation, here is some advice for you.
Turn down the invitation in the same way. For example, if you were invited by letter, phone or over the Internet, you should reply to the invitation by letter, phone or over the Internet. So the person who invited you will receive your reply quickly.
Give a simple but clear excuse(理由). Though giving a short excuse seems impolite(不礼貌的), but giving a long excuse also makes things even worse. Give a simple, clear excuse that shows why you can't accept the invitation.
Take up any duties(义务) on you. If you were invited to a large event, such as a birthday party and a house-warming(乔迁聚会), don't forget to send your gifts and express(表达) your good wishes. This shows you take your friendship seriously.
Thank the person who invited you and express your interest in attending the next event or promise to pay a visit in the future. This will make the person feel better.
