邀请信
1.,引入invitation letter: If you want to invite one of your superior (who is a foreigner), what will you do? 2.定义：邀请信分为两种：一种属于个人信函，例如邀请某人共进晚餐、参加宴会、观看电影、出席典礼等。另一种邀请信则属于事务信函，一般是邀请参加会议、学术活动等等。
一：个人邀请信（30分钟）
个人邀请信的对象：第一种邀请信邀请的对象一般是朋友、熟人，所以内容格式上的要求都比较松，可以写得随便一些。只要表明邀请的意图，说明活动的内容、时间、地点等等。
重点:既然是邀请信，那么在信中就一定要表达非常希望对方能够参加或者出席的愿望。这种邀请信的篇幅可以非常短，但是内容应该表达清楚。下面以一封邀请看电影的短信为例：
Dear Selia,
We have four tickets for a famous film shown at Starlight Cinema, The Longest Day, Friday, the ninth.Will you join us? We’ll be looking for you at eight o’clock, Friday night in front of the cinema, so please don’t disappoint us!
Warmest regards.
Sandy

事务型邀请信:第二种邀请信一般由会议或学术活动的组委会的某一位负责人来写，以组委会的名义发出，而且被邀请者通常也是属于比较有威望的人士。因此，这类邀请信的措辞要相对正式一些，语气要热情有礼。

这一类邀请信通常要包括以下内容：首先表明邀请对方参加的意图以及会议或学术活动的名称、时间、地点；然后要对被邀请者的威望和学术水平等表示推崇和赞赏，表明如果被邀请者能够接受邀请，会给会议或者活动带来很好的影响；接着要说明会议或活动的相关事宜，最好是能引起对方兴趣的事宜；当然不能忘了表达希望对方能够参加的诚意；最后还要请收信人对发出的邀请做出反馈，如确认接受邀请。
下面是一封邀请对方参加学术会议的信函：
