INTRODUCTION/ SOCIAL GATHERINGS

The very first thing one must do when meeting someone is

introduce themselves. This may be something that frightens
many people but using the following material will make it
easier.

Use ice breakers. Ice breakers are a thing that serves to

relieve inhibitions or tension between people, or start a
conversation.
- If you are not comfortable with beginning the
conversation with a simple “Hello, my name is …” then you may ask the person
questions like…

1. Excuse me, do you know what time it is?

2. Excuse me, do you know where the restaurant ______ is? (asking for directions)

Always use excuse me before a question. This ensures you are being polite.

You may also compliment the other person and use it as a way to start
conversation.
Always make sure that the object that you are complimenting will not make the
other person feel uncomfortable. Do not compliment the person as a whole,
instead say…

1. I love your dress. (or any article of visible clothing the person is wearing)
2. Your dog/cat (pet) is very cute.
3. I love your hair. (or any acceptable physical feature)

Simple follow up questions

- After asking a person “how are you?” the person will express a feeling.
o A follow up question for personal feelings may be
 Why is that?
 This will extend the conversation allowing you to ask more
questions

There are questions that come up very often in conversation like the following:
 Where are you from?
 What do you do?
 What are you doing here?
 Do you like your job? Why?
 How was your trip?
  Are you having a good time?
 What do you think of the weather?
 What do you think of the movie/event/conference/restaurant?

If things don’t go as expected…

If you feel the need to end a conversation because you feel uncomfortable or it’s not going the
way you want it to, you may say the following:
 Excuse me, I need to go find ____ (friends/family/ food/ location)
 It’s been lovely talking to you.
 I hate to run off, but I need to go.

Homework:

Write a dialogue between you and someone else introducing yourself. You must include
your name, age, birthday, profession, where you’re from and phone number. We will
present next class.

 Informal vs Formal invitations

FORMAL
 Formal invitations are very formal, detached, polite and precise as well.

 The logo or initials of the party organizer is to be included at the top of anything else.

 The invitation should be written in third person and not in first or second person.

 The full name of the organizer or organizers must be mentioned in the invitation.

 A polite and courteous tone should be used.

 It must provide brief information about the event. For example, "brunch", "an
awards ceremony" or "drinks reception".

 Dates must be written in letters and you should not use abbreviation.

 It ought to explain why the party or event is being held, "to celebrate..." or "to
honor..."

 Enter the address, the time and the venue of the party or event.
  Detail the dress code or the style of dress to be donned by guests. There are several
types of clothing, but the most correct attire for a formal party is: semi-formal,
formal dress code, black tie...

 Include an RSVP - this elegant abbreviation comes from the French phrase
"Répondez, s'il vous plait"; which in English means "Please respond". An RSVP is
essential at parties where you need to know exactly who will come, so you can
organize things accordingly on the basis of their convenience.

 You can also include a reply card with a phone number. Include a deadline for
responses.

INFORMAL

 The informal invitation can be written in any handwriting and format and is not
restricted to one person unlike formal invitation format.

 You can use a polite and more personal tone.

 The reason for which the event is being held needs to be stated by the one writing the
same. You can write these using a direct and personal style without keeping it
complex and brief.

 RSVP for the event. Put your e-mail or contact details other than the former.

 Another original way to confirm attendance and one which will help you manage the
guests at the event is by using a Doodle.
  Another way to send a non-formal invitation is through a Facebook event and any
other social media platform.

More Vocab :
 What are you doing on (day/date)?
 Do you want to. . .with me?
 When is it?
 What time does it start/end?
 Let's meet at. . .
 What date/day is it?
 Invitation to a Party!!!

your neighbours by holding a party at your house. Write a letter to
your neighbours inviting them to join you.

 So, Too, Neither and Either
I use 'so do I' to say that a positi ve sentence is also true for me, and I use 'neither do I'
to say that a negative sentence is also true for me:

 John: I hate mushrooms.

 Me: So do I (=I also hate mushrooms).

 Lucy: I don't live in London.

 Me: Neither do I (=I also don't live in London. For example, maybe Lucy and I both live
in Paris).

This is often used as a reply to someone else in a conversation, but both sentences can
also be said by the same person, and even joined together:

 Me: Elizabeth loves coffee. So do I.

 Me: Harry doesn't play the piano and neither do I.
 In my examples above, I use 'do' because the first sentence is in the present
simple tense. The verb after 'so' or 'neither' changes depending on the tense of the
verb in the first sentence.

Present simple: use 'do / does' Lucy likes coffee. So do I.

Present simple with 'be': use 'am / is /
are'
Present continuous: use 'am / is / are'
Past Simple: use 'did'
Past simple with 'be': use 'was / were'
Present perfect: use 'have / has'
Future simple: use 'will'
Modal verbs: repeat the modal verb
Lucy doesn't like coffee. Neither do I.
John's at the office. So am I.
John isn't at the office. Neither am I.
Luke's going out tonight. So am I.
Luke isn't going out tonight. Neither am I.
Jill went to the cinema yesterday. So did I.
Jill didn't go to the cinema yesterday. Neither
did I.
She was at the library. So was I.
She wasn't at the library. Neither was I.
They've been to Colombia. So have I.
They haven't been to Colombia. Neither have I.
Edward will be at the cafe later. So will I.
Edward won't be at the cafe later. Neither will
I.
He would like a cup of tea. So would I.
He wouldn't like a cup of tea. Neither would I.
Emma can speak Russian. So can I.
Emma can't speak Russian. Neither can I.
 What about 'too' and 'either'?

We can also use 'I do too' and 'I don't either', which mean the same as 'so do I' and
'neither do I':

 John: I hate mushrooms.

 Me: I do too (=I also hate mushrooms).

 Lucy: I don't live in London.

 Me: I don't either (=I also don't live in London).

The verb changes in the same way as with 'so do I' and 'neither do I' (remember you
need a negative verb with 'either'):

 Present simple: John's at the office. I am too.

 Present continuous: Luke isn't going out tonight. I'm not either.
 Present perfect: They've been to Colombia. I have too.
 Modal verbs: Emma can't speak Russian. I can't either.

'Me too' and 'me neither':

We can also use 'me too' and 'me neither'. 'Me too' has the same meaning as 'so +
auxiliary verb + I' and 'me neither' has the same meaning as 'neither + auxiliary verb +
I'. 'Me too' and 'me neither' are very informal:

 John: I hate mushrooms.

 Me: Me too (=I also hate mushrooms).

 Lucy: I don't live in London.

 Me: Me neither (=I also don't live in London).

Subjects other than 'I':

Of course, we can also use these expressions to talk about what's true for other people,
not just ourselves:

 John: I hate mushrooms.

 Me: So does Laura / Laura does too / Laura too.

 Lucy: I don't live in London.

 Me: Neither does David / David doesn't either / David neither.
 Some more examples:

 We live in London and so do they.

 Emma loves tennis. Jill and Laura do too.
 My parents don't come here often. Neither does Alex.
 She isn't French and neither is he.
 You don't like cold weather. Neither do we.
