A, Listen to the people open their invitations to these events. Complete the information.

1. Oh, Elaine’s going to have a housewarming party.

Oh, yeah. She said something about that. When is it? Next Saturday?

Um, November 16th, Yeah. Saturday the 16th.

Oh, good. We’re here that weekend. Do you want to go?

Yeah, why not?

Is it in the evening?

Um, let’s see, well, it starts at 4:30. She’s going to have a barbecue. Oh, Sally’s going, too. She’s going to bring some chicken.

Good. Yeah, I guess Elaine wants everybody to help out. It’s a lot of work otherwise.

Yeah. And she says, “Simon, can you make some of your special bread?”

She knows you can bake?

Yeah, she loves my bread.

Oh, well, if you’re going to bake, you can make her a cake, too!

It’s a housewarming, not her birthday!

1. What’s that?

It’s an invitation from Iris and Derek. It’s their silver wedding anniversary-25 years.

Wow. They’re inviting us to dinner.

That’s nice. When?

August 17th.

What day is that? Is it a Saturday?

No, it’s a Sunday, I think. Let’s see, yes, it’s a Sunday.

What time?

Um, 7 p.m. Oh, that’s nice! It’s at The French Restaurant.

But, wait, the 17th? That’s the day of my golf tournament, I can’t go. I’m playing golf

Oh, John, at seven in the evening?

Yes. We usually finish around nine or ten.

Oh, well. I guess I can go. Oh, they’re going to have music and fireworks afterwards.

Hey, wait a minute. Derek’s my golf partner on the 17th. Are you sure it’s the 17th?

Yes!

I can’t believe Derek is going to miss the golf tournament. This is the first time in 25 years.
