Afterwards, please make up some dialog based on the given
situation

Kathy : Hello?
Ron : Kathy? Uh, this is Ron, you know, from
your history class?
Kathy : Oh, hi.
Ron : Listen, I was wondering… um, were you
planning to go to Ali’s party on Saturday?
Kathy : Hmm. I haven’t really thought about it
yet
Ron : Well, would you like to go?
Kathy : You mean, with you?
Ron : yeah
Kathy : Well, sure, Ron I’d love to go / Well
thanks, Ron, but I just remember that I’m busy
that night.

Note: To refuse the invitation, Kathy does not say “No, thank you” Instead she
gives a reason for refusing. This kind of reason (which may or may not be true)
is called an excuse, and refusing invitation this way is called making (or giving)
an excuse. Include in the chart some excuses that you have heard
