Exercise 7
Audio Scripts:
Everyone has ever received an invitation to a party or an event.However,the invitation,sometimes for some reasons,couldn’t be accepted.Declining is not intended to hurt the host’s feelings or creat hostility between the two of you.By responding to the invitation politely and quickly,you can avoid creating a situation out of your absence,whether it is a formal event or an informal gathering or going out with friends.Here are tips on declining.
•Respond in the manner requested ASAP.Call or write to the host with your thankfulness and say your regret that you will not be able to make it,and wish them good luck with the event.It is considered rude to ignore an invitation completely.
•Be honest when giving any explanation(s).If you have another obligation,let the host know.If you don’t have another obligation,and can’t comfortably explain why you don’t want to go,just politely decline without offering a reason.You can always just say,“No,thank you,maybe we can hang out another time.”But it’s also perfectly fine to just say you have other plans even if you don’t,as long as you don’t think there’s any way the host will find out you’re lying.

Meiling:Jack,I heard there is a festival celebrated with pumpkins.Is it a children’s day?
Jack:Oh,no!It’s not just a children’s day.It’s a day for children,and also for adults,actually.
Everybody enjoys Halloween.Would you like to know something about it?Meiling:Yes,I’d love to.Jack:On that day small kids get dressed up,then walk around with paper bags or baskets knocking on their neighbors’doors.They would say“trick-or-treat”to their neighbors with Jack-O’-Lanterns(pumpkin lanterns)in their hands.Each household puts gifts such as candies,crackers,pencils,etc.in their bags or baskets.Kids are happy and excited to get the candies.
Meiling:I see children dressed in masks and costumes in Halloween pictures.And the masks and costumes look scary.Any story about it?
Jack:One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts,who lived in western and central Europe long ago.The Celts celebrated a holiday called Samhain on October 31st.After sunset on that day,people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth.The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.
Meiling:We also have a similar tradition.
Jack:But by the late 1800s after Halloween was introduced to America,fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches.Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.Adults or parents are also dressed up in strange,colorful,ugly or scary costumes,roam on the street like children or hold a costume party.
Meiling:It’s really interesting.
Jack:Black and orange are two major colors for Halloween.Black stands for nights and orange for pumpkins.
Meiling:I see.
Jack:One more thing you should know is that Halloween is the eve of All Saints’Day.Halloween is on October 31st with a celebration usually starting after sunset.November 1st is All Saints’Day.

Mrs.Dodd,Sonora Louise Smart Dodd,from Spokane,Washington State,first proposed“Father’s Day”in 1909.Mrs.Dodd,the second child in her family,wanted a special day to honor her father Mr.William Smart,whose wife died while giving birth to their sixth child.Mr.Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington State.He worked very hard in the daytime,did housework and made every effort to take care of his children.All his children grew up under his care and they hoped their father could enjoy his old age in peace.To their sorrow,Mr.William Smart passed away in 1909 due to hard work for long years.It was after Mrs.Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.She hoped there would be a day to honor fathers in the world after she once paid worship in church on Mother’s Day.She put forward her proposal to a priest and it was supported widely by many religious organizations.Mrs.Dodd wrote a letter to the mayor to express her idea and suggested the day for fathers be set on June 5th,which was her father’s birthday.Her idea was adopted by Washington State and the day for fathers was fixed on the third Sunday of June.On June 19th,1910,the first“Father’s Day”was celebrated in Spokane,Mrs.Dodd’s hometown.Many cities throughout the United States also celebrated“Father’s day”around that day.President Lyndon Johnson officially declared the third Sunday of June as“Father’s Day”in 1966 and President Nixon signed a proclamation making it permanent in 1972.
