Hot pot is very popular no matter in hot summer or cold winter in China. It has a history over 1,000 years and until now, it is still the most popular dish for social or family gathering. People put a metal pot in the middle of a dining table, and while the water in the pot is boiling (沸腾) , ingredients are put into it and cooked in the pot. They are usually thinly sliced beef, pork, chicken, lamb, leaf vegetables, tofu and seafood. Many Chinese people like eating hot pot. Liu Yang is one of them.

Liu Yang went to university in England. Three days ago, he arrived there. He had three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes. Yesterday he was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a meal of hotpot to welcome the new students.

When the American girl found that Liu Yang was very surprised, she made an introduction to him that hotpot is not hot pot. China has hot pot in two words but English hotpot is written in one word.

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(请客)at home.They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for a coffee and conversation.

Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home：

“Would you like to come over for dinner Saturday night?”

“Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?”

To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry, and give an excuse：

“Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry, I've tickets for a movie.”

Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations.For example：

“Please come over for a drink sometime.”

“Why not get together for a party sometime?”

“Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?”

They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation.They are not real invitations because they don't mention a specific(确定的)time or date.They just show that the person is trying to be friendly.To reply to expressions like these, people just say “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK, yes, thanks.”
