   Todd: What are you doing on Saturday because a friend of mine is having a big dinner, like a big party that a lot of my colleagues 1 are going to go to, it's like a big holiday dinner.


 
  Katia: Really, is it this Saturday?
 
  Todd: It's this Saturday yes, it's on the eleventh.
 
  Katia: Actually I don't believe I have any plans. Where is it going to be?
 
  Todd: It's in a town called Usa, it's not that far from here. I'm going to take the train because I want to drink because we'll have wine and beer at the party so I won't drive. But I think the train will take about an hour and a half which is kind of too bad because it's only a forty minute drive.
 
  Katia: It might be worth it. Who is going to be there?
 
  Todd: Mainly 2 it's going to be English teachers, people that I work with but they are going to be bringing their wives and husbands and children and friends. There's actually going to be a few students like yourself, a couple of graduate students, so it should be fun. Then we're going to have turkey and ham 3 and desserts.
 
  Katia: It sounds like the food is going to be quite good. And why is this exactly? Are you celebrating something in particular 4 or is it somebody else's birthday?
 
  Todd: Well no actually it's going to be the Thanksgiving dinner but we missed Thanksgiving because we all live overseas 5, we all teach obviously 6 away from our countries so we do this every year but it's not an American thing or a Canadian thing, it's everybody. So there's going to be British people and Australians and people from India, so it's kind of a big international party.
 
  Katia: It sounds quite exciting but do you think it would all right if I can bring somebody else along?
 
  Todd: Oh yeah, you can bring as many guests as you like. Well let me take that back. You can bring a couple of guests, I think. I'm sure that it would be OK. But I think it's a pot luck, you're supposed to bring some food.
 
  Katia: OK, OK. Let me think because I will need to take the train. It takes about one hour, I'm not too sure. At what time did you say it's going to be?
 
  Todd: Actually it starts in the afternoon at about two o'clock and it should end by maybe seven or eight.
 
  Katia: OK. Let me think about it.
 
  Todd: Sure.
 
  Katia: Would that be all right?
 
  Todd: Yeah, I don't want to pressure 7 you or anything like that. It's just an offer but if you change your mind just either email 8 me or give me a call and I'll let them know that you're coming.
 
  Katia: OK and I'll write it down this Saturday.
