打电话、邀请、拒绝
能打电话，邀请别人，接受邀请或者礼貌地拒绝，还能留言。
标注的核心时长。核心模块中有两项未标注时长，因此实际课时比总和更长。
语法
5 分钟邀请别人有三种说法，从最客气到最随便：
| Would you like to come to dinner on Saturday? | 您愿意……吗？ |
| How about going to the cinema? | ……怎么样？（+ -ing） |
| Let's go to the cinema. | 我们去……吧（A1 第16课） |
Would you like to + 动词——客气的提议；How about + 带 -ing 的形式。
接受和拒绝：
| 接受 | 拒绝 |
|---|---|
| Yes, I'd love to. | I'd love to, but I'm busy on Saturday. |
| That sounds great. | I'm afraid I can't — I'm working. |
| Thanks, that's very kind. | Maybe another time? |
英语的拒绝几乎从来不用 No 开头。 先表示感谢或遗憾，再说原因，最后提出另一个选择。
I'd rather——表示更愿意做别的事：
| I'd rather stay at home. | 我还是待在家里吧。 |
| I'd rather not, thanks. | 还是算了吧，谢谢。 |
I'd rather 后面的动词不加 to。
电话用语：
| Hello, this is Wei. | 您好，我是伟。 |
| Can I speak to Anna, please? | 请找一下安娜。 |
| Who's calling? | 请问您是哪位？ |
| She's not here. Can I take a message? | 她不在。要我帮您转告吗？ |
| Could you ask her to call me back? | 请让她给我回个电话。 |
| Sorry, you've got the wrong number. | 对不起，您打错了。 |
中文母语者的常见错误
已针对你的语言编写照搬“我是……”“你是谁”。
✗ I am Wei → ✓ This is Wei； ✗ Who are you? → ✓ Who's calling? 电话里自我介绍用 This is。 “请问您是哪位？”直译成 Who are you?，在英语电话里听起来很不客气。
动词形式不变。
✗ How about go to the cinema? → ✓ How about going； ✗ I'd rather to stay → ✓ I'd rather stay。汉语动词没有形式变化，英语每个说法后面的形式是固定的： How about + -ing，Would you like to + 动词，I'd rather + 不带 to 的动词。
丢掉 'd。
✗ I rather stay at home
✓ I'd rather stay at home
。普通话音节不以 /d/ 结尾，说快了 I'd 就只剩 I，写的时候也跟着丢了。
发音
3 分钟礼貌的拒绝靠表示遗憾的语调——中间升，结尾轻轻地降：
I'd love to ↗, but I'm busy on Saturday ↘
如果在 love to 上猛地一降，遗憾就成了客套话。
I'd 读 /aɪd/，一个音节，末尾的 /d/ 不要丢；would you 在语流中连读成 /ˈwʊdʒu/。
课文
3 分钟Hello, this is Wei. Can I speak to Anna, please?
I'm afraid she's not here. Can I take a message?
Yes, please. Could you ask her to call me back?
Of course.
Thank you. Oh, and one more thing: would you like to come to dinner on Saturday?
I'd love to, but I'm working that evening. Maybe another time?

写作
写一段三句话的对话：你打电话，要找的人不在，你留言，并且发出邀请。
范例： — Hello, this is Wei. Can I speak to Anna? — She's not here. Can I take a message? — Could you ask her to call me back? And would you like to come to dinner on Saturday?
检查清单：电话里用的是 This is，而不是 I am 吗？How about 后面用的是 -ing 吗？拒绝包括三个部分吗？
