UNIT 4 Time to read

Read the following passage carefully about types of party invitations. It is taken from an article by Victor Epand. Look up any new words in a dictionary. There are many types of invitations: standard cards and notes, creative floral or craft projects, and even email invitations. No matter what their physical appearance is, all party invitations can be broken down into three categories:
Formal: These invitations follow a prescribed formula for

verse, layout, and formatting. Weddings, black-tie galas, and other ritual events frequently use formal invitations. Words such as cordially invited and your presence is requested are typically found on formal notes, and RSVPs are usually required.
Semi-Formal: Less structured than formal notes, semiformal invitations still follow a standard format though the language is less elaborate and the note itself may be more colorful or humorous. Semi-formal notes are appropriate for parties, weddings, and other events where a response is required but hosts want their guests to know the event will be less strict. Casual: Casual invitations may be very simple, and they are often themed and color-coordinated to the event. Less information is usually printed on casual invitations host names, dress codes, etc. are usually not included. Many casual notes are hand-written, and may include events such as birthdays, graduation parties, surprise parties, or showers.
I met Jaime, who is my best friend today, and Mrs. Aguilera - my first teacher. 2. The __ reception was absolutely fantastic. We all danced until the morning. Everybody was happy, especially the groom and the bride. 3. The day of my __ was certainly very emotional. I thanked my parents for their support. Without their help I wouldnt have achieved so much. 4. After few years of unhappy marriage they decided to get a __. 5. People cried at the __.

The key to choosing a proper invitation is to find one that matches the tone of the party itself. An extremely formal, traditional invitation is not appropriate for a five-year-olds princess birthday sleepover, and likewise a martini-glass shaped lime green note is not appropriate for a black-tie evening wedding. The invitation is the first hint that guests receive about the tone of the event, and matching the type of invitation to the event itself helps guests gauge what to expect.

UNIT 4 Language in use Review of prepositions of time and place

There is one very simple rule about prepositions. And, unlike most rules, this rule has no exceptions: A preposition is followed by a noun or pronoun. It is never followed by a verb. Noun or pronoun includes: Common noun: dog, money, love, celebration, party Proper noun: El Salvador, Mary, Thanksgiving Day Pronoun: you, him, us, them, her, me Gerund: swimming, dancing, eating, visiting A preposition cannot be followed by a verb. If we want to use a verb after a preposition, we must use the -ing form which is really a gerund or verb in noun form. Study the examples below:
Subject Verb Preposition Noun The party is on Monday. She lives in Santa Ana. The wedding is in December. The card is under the Christmas tree. My birthday is at The Crazy Juice. party They work at the Grand Hotel.

Read the following passage about wedding invitations, and then decide whether the statements below are true or false. A new life is knocking at your door, the one that is filled with dreams and a promise of happiness. You are planning a lot and making decisions. Invitations to a wedding can make it even more special. The nature and style of the invitation leave a mark, at times so much that whenever people meet the couple they remember their invitation right down to the smallest detail. Traditional wedding invitations have two flaps. The inner one is smaller, without a sticky strip. The outer envelope is addressed formally, complete with the first name. If children are being invited, then along with the parents names the first names of the children should appear on the outer envelope. The inner envelope should only have the surname of the invitee.

INVITATIONS
The purpose of an invitation is not to create more work for the host or to intimidate the guests but to bring everyone together for a celebration. Providing necessary details and contact information is convenient and polite, regardless of the type of invitation, whether it is a professionally designed and printed card, a fun themed note, or a simple email message. By doing so, you can help friends and foreigners waste no time or get lost locating the place of the event.

UNIT 4 Enrich your vocabulary Making requests in English: Part I
There are many different ways to make polite requests in English. Would you? / Could you? / Would you like to? Would you like to? is also a very polite way of suggesting or requesting something. It is more polite than saying Do you want to? Compare the following requests:
Would you please bring the wine on Saturday? Well celebrate Titos arrival. Could you join us on Saturday? Titos back from Spain, and were having a barbecue. Would you like to join us on Saturday? Were having a barbecue in the backyard. Would you care to join us on Saturday? Were celebrating Titos return from Spain. Do you want to join us on Saturday? Were having a party in the backyard.
B. If you want to sound particularly polite or if you think the answer may be negative, you can also use Would you A. If you are asking other people to do things, you would normally use Would you or Could you the infinitive.
mind + verb-ing as the preferred alternative to Could you? Would you mind? literally means: Would you object to? Study the following examples:
A: Would you mind locking the door when you leave? B: No, not at all! A: Could you please lock the door when you leave? B: Yes, certainly! If youre not busy at the moment, would you mind helping me with the barbecue? If youre not busy at the moment, could you give me a hand with the barbecue?
more formal and more polite than can and could, but can and could are usually preferred in normal usage. Compare the following:
A: Can I ask a favor of you? B: Of course you can. A: Could I ask you to pick up Deborah from school tomorrow? B: Of course I can. A: Could I possibly have another cup of coffee? B: I dont think you should. You wont sleep tonight if you do.

Read the following passage from the online article entitled How to Politely Decline to Attend a Wedding or Event. Look up any new words in a dictionary. Were you invited to a wedding that you just cant attend... or just dont want to attend? This list of steps will help you politely decline the event or wedding invitation without hurting anyones feelings.
Step One: Most importantly, respond saying that
you cannot attend for personal reasons. There is no need to elaborate. Simply offering that as an explanation is polite. If you really do not want to go, simply say that you wont be able to attend, apologize and wish those who invited you the best of luck. Even if the person or people who invited you dont know why you arent attending, at least they will know that you put forth the effort to wish them the best and apologize that you cannot attend.
Step Four: Remember why you cant attend, or why you
you cannot attend. It sounds obvious, but its easy to procrastinate and forget to send back the card saying that you want to decline the invitation. Forgetting to decline can lead to some confusion and an awkward phone call where you have to apologize and decline the invitation later.
said you cant attend. You dont want to accidentally mix up stories later, even if you were telling the truth. The goal here is to not hurt peoples feelings or to hurt them inadvertently.
Step Two: Explain why you declined. Send a note or an email to the person who invited you. You can also call, but that can be awkward. Send a note politely explaining why you cannot attend and make it clear that you would love to attend but cannot. Step Three: Explain why you cannot attend and be

SPEAKING IN A POLITE WAY

When dealing with anyone for the first time or people you dont know very well, its extremely important to speak in a polite way. When asking for help or for a favor, nobody wants to be spoken to in an unkind way. Native speakers of English may give a negative answer simply by saying no. Native English speakers tend to be very direct when speaking. However, some may prefer to give more polite responses by adding an explanation or using polite phrases to show they are saying no.

GOOD COMMUNICATION
Communication is essential in planning a celebration. More than likely not everyone will agree on all of the decisions to be made. You should agree to disagree respectfully. Some things just arent importantenough to argue over. A little bit of cooperation is beneficial for all people involved in the planning process. Discuss financial responsibilities ahead of time. Remember that just because someone is taking on most of the financial responsibility that does not mean that they have the most say or make most of the decisions. On the other hand, be gracious of requests on behalf of those who are investing. Keep three words in mind: communication, respect and compromise.

UNIT 4 Time to read

Read the following passage from How to Plan for the Future carefully. Look up any new words in a dictionary. The future, or the final frontier, is a big question mark. Some things you might like to have in the future may include money, security, and a family, but you wont make those things happen unless you have a plan to ensure their probability.
Step 1: Set reachable goals for yourself and plan for your immediate future first. Write down the goals that you can reach within the next six months, and then move on from there. By the time you are finished, youll have a clear view of where you wish to be in ten years and how to get there. Step 2: Plan for your financial future. Look at all of your current expenses and your income and find out where you can cut unneeded expenses. You should also look at paying the debts that you currently have. Interest from credit card debt takes a lot out of your pocket, so you should try to pay it off as soon as possible. Step 3: Begin a saving plan that can cover you for six months. It may mean that you live frugally for a while but having a cushion in your monetary accounts gives you security and peace of mind. Step 4: Find the job that is right for you. Whether you are looking for work or looking to get promoted to a better paying job, you need to have a plan of action that can put you where you need to be. This means taking into account what type of courses, certifications or degrees you may need to get the job or position you want. Step 5: Save for your retirement. By using your savings account wisely and properly, you can begin saving for your retirement at any age. With the increasing cost of living and the stock markets ups and downs, saving for your retirement in your twenties is not too soon. Even if you are older, talking to a retirement fund planner can help you get back on track for an enjoyable retirement.

B. The future with be + going to to is used to express events you have already planned in the future and your intentions for the future. It is used for planned decisions, which are decisions, made before the moment of speaking.
Examples:
Read and study the following table.

Subject I You She We They
1. Shes going to attend university and study to become a doctor. 2. Were going to make the presentation next week. 3. Im going to be a police officer when I grow up. 4. Katherine is going to study English when she goes to university.

PLANNING A TRIP
Deciding on a place to go is a very important part of planning a trip. After choosing your travel destination, you should consider the cities, parts of the country, or parts of the region that you will visit. Where will you go first? How do you want to get from one place to another? How much time you will spend in one place? How much money will you spend? These are the important questions to answer ahead of time to help plan a trip. You should not plan to visit too many places in a short period of time. Give yourself enough time to enjoy the trip and relax at the same time.
