1. Please reply in writing to this invitation by Friday, December 20th.请于12月20日以前以书信方式回复此邀请。
replying in writing 表示“ 以书面的形式进行回复”。其中reply相当于 answer，但要比后者更加书面化且正式许多。此处介词in表示方式，相当于汉语“ 用……方式（形式）”之意。reply作动词时，不直接跟宾语，须由介词to 引入宾语内容，构成 reply to … 的结构。如：
Did you reply to these letter 你回复这些来信了吗？
在此句中，write to 表示“ 写信给某人”。
介词by 译为“ 截止……; …..之前到……为止”。
介词before 也有“……之前”之意，但区别于before不包含其后的时间，而 by 则包括。
e.g. You should get your homework ready by Friday. Remember: Friday is the last day!
你应当最迟于周五前把作业做好。记住：周五是最后一天。
Can you come and meet me before Friday I’ll be away early Friday morning.你能在周五前来见我一面吗？我周五一
大清早就走了。
2. Hope you can make it! 希望你能参加（聚会）
此句中的make it 是个独立地表达方式，表示
通过努力或是历经困难后取得成功、完成某
事，可译为“ 成功；胜利”， 但有时也要视语 境及上下文灵活进行翻译，此处便是如此。
e.g. If we run, we should make it.
要是我们跑的话，应该不会迟到。
Though it was difficult, they still made it.
虽然很难，但他们依然成功了。
3. When will the event happen 这件事什么时候将会发生？
(1) event的基本意思是“事件”,可指历史上的、国际的、国家的重大事件,也可指日常的小事件。
The new book was the cultural event of the year. 这本新书的出版是今年文化界的大事。
(2) in the event后接that从句,表示“如果”。
In the event that he has not been told, I will tell him. 如果没有人告诉他，我将告诉他这件事。

Dear Headmaster,
Thank you very much for inviting me to the opening ceremony for the new students of the school. I’m your new student Mike Brown’s father. I think this opening ceremony is very educational for not only the students, but also parents. So, I’m glad to go. I’m sure everyone will have a great time in this event. Of course I hope I can give a small speech if I have a chance. Thanks very much again.
From,
Pete Brown

A reply
Dear Headmaster,
I’m Jake Walton, Tom Walton’s father. Thanks for the invitation, but I’m afraid I can’t make it. A week ago, I was sent out to Shanghai on business by my company. I can’t get back until September 10th. I’m really sorry about this, but anyway, I will ask Tom’s uncle to go instead of me. I hope the opening ceremony will be a great success.
Yours,
Jake Walton

There are only three days in our life:
Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Yesterday has passed for ever,
And will never come again;
Today is now together with you,
And it will soon go away;
Tomorrow will arrive in no time,
But it can also disappear.
Seize the day! Seize the hour!
There are only three days in our life!
Remember to cherish and be friendly to others.
