This unit is about people making excuses and declining invitations. Learners will listen to a voice mail message from a woman apologizing for not being able to attend a party. They will listen to and take part in a dialogue in which a woman doesn’t accept a lunch invitation from a colleague, and they will read a story about a man who has forgotten he promised to help his wife prepare a party.
