■Warming up by studying the title
Hello, class. We are learning Unit 5 today. But first look at this sentence: You come to the party What does it mean You are correct. It means 你来参加聚会么？Then what does this sentence mean Can you come to the party Can means “能，行”. So this sentence means: 你能来参加聚会么？You may answer like these: Yes, I can. I can come to the party. Or No, I can’t. I have to do my home work. In these sentences both can and have to are modal verbs. They are part of the predicates.
Can you come to school Yes, I can. / No, I can’t. I have to see a doctor.
Can you get to school by bus Yes, I can. / No, I can’t. I have to walk.

You are great! As you see, there are some people in the picture. Do you know who’s who Now please listen to the conversation. Pay attention to Sun Ning’s words carefully. He says the names of each person he is inviting. When I play the recording for the first time, you just listen carefully. When I play the recording for the second time, please write the names of each person next to his or her picture. You have to complete the activity on your own. OK, let’s go!

Now let’s talk as they do in the conversation. In other words, we are going to talk in imitation of the conversation we have just heard and read.

Now please make your own dialogues in groups of four. Suppose you are the students in the picture. One of you is inviting the other three students to his party. The other students are saying if he can go or not. If you can’t go, remember to give a reason.
