  1. You Are Invited! Bridge English Task Sheet You received two invitation letters from two of your closest friends. Jeck is inviting you to celebrate with his family the baptismal of his first born child in a parish in Batangas. Edser is inviting you to his birthday party in his apartment in Quezon City. Unfortunately, these events fall on the same date and will both start at 10:00 o’clock in the morning. Obviously, you cannot accept both invitations. You are sure to meet both of them tomorrow and will have to give your response. What will you tell each of them? How would you politely respond to their invitations? 1 NAME _______________________________ YEAR and SECTION _______________________________ DATE __________________________ TEACHER_________________________

Feel free to go back to the websites if you need to. Be ready to discuss your answers with the class afterwards.
