Dumplings are the traditional food for the Spring Festival in China.Almost everyone eats them that day.Do you know why they are so popular？

On Spring Festival Eve，every family makes dumplings ready early.When the midnight comes，the whole family will sit together and eat the dumplings.The midnight is also called "交子（ jiao zi ）".It means that the new year comes at this time.And it sounds the same as the Chinese word for dumplings （饺子）.So eating the dumplings is also a way to welcome the new year.

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 cup of coffee and a conversation （交谈）.Here are some kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home： "Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night？"， "Hey，we're having a party on Friday afternoon.Can you come？" To reply to an invitation，you can say thank you and accept，or say you're sorry and give an excuse.For example， "Thanks，I'd love to.What time would you like me to come？" or "Oh，sorry.I'm not available.I have to take a piano lesson."
But sometimes，people use expressions （表达） 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？".These are just polite ways of ending a conversation.They are not real invitations because they don't tell you a specific time or date.They don't tell you what time or which day to go.They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and polite （礼貌的）.To reply to expressions like these，you can just say " Sure，that would be great! " or "OK，yes，thanks."
