In Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”，but you can't really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”，you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether you plan to go or not.
You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there.
Though it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate(合适的). A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate way to express your appreciation for the invitation.
1. What can you do when a British friend say “Drop in any time”?
A. Visit him or her at any time.
B. Say no time to him or her seriously.
C. Visit him or her soon.
D. Telephone him or her before visiting.
2. What does the underlined word “RSVP” probably mean in Chinese?
A. 请自便 B. 请回复 C. 请接受 D. 请来访
3. What should you do if your British friend sends you an invitation but you do not want to go?
