Homework
1. In pairs make dialogues on how to:

b. invite someone, and

Summary
In this unit you have learned several ways to do the following: how to make a
telephone call, how to request, how to invite, how to write invitation cards and how
to write messages. Each of these ways has particular characteristics that we must
practice.
To make a telephone call, you must have opening expressions. For example,
you can say: ‘good morning’, ‘hello’, ‘hi there’, etc. Here you must consider degree of
politeness. To close a telephone call, you can use one of the following: ‘bye’, ‘good bye’,
‘bye. Thanks for calling, etc.
To request someone to do something on the phone, you can use several
expressions like ‘Could/can/may I speak to …, please’. Or, we can also use the
expressions ‘do you mind if …’, ‘would you mind if … .‘
To invite someone to a party or an occasion, we must not forget the place,
time, date. Also, mention for what occasion you are inviting somebody. Finally, write
messages to someone, you may use passive sentences.
