You bet I do.

Is it work?

Can I help you with anything?

No. It's nothing serious.

I actually wanted to ask you if you'd be interested in some company events.

I'm not sure.

What kind of events are they?

Well, there are two.

The first is an outing to the Northern coast.

We'll be doing some stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling before having a late lunch.

I'm afraid I'll have to pass on that.

I'm a very weak swimmer, so the ocean and I don't mix well.

Oh, that's too bad.

Sorry.

What about the other event?

Right, Kendra from marketing is throwing a party next weekend.

I thought it'd be a good opportunity for you to meet a few more people from work.

Parties are definitely my cup of tea. What is it for?

Oh, it's not for anything particular.

She just loves throwing the occasional party for socializing.

Well, I'm keen. When is it?

It's next Saturday evening.

The party starts at 7:30 p.m. Are you free?

I believe so.

Should I bring a gift or anything?

What does Kendra like?

Oh, don't bring anything.

She really hates that kind of stuff.

Just show up and have a good time.

Really?

For sure.

Maybe buy her a coffee or something if you really want to thank her .

Good idea 好主意

I look forward to seeing our colleagues let their hair down.

You'll love it!

By the way, you can bring a friend if you want; the more the merrier!

Got it 我知道了

Thanks so much for the invite!
