Could you ask him to call me back, please?
Do you think Peter is polite when he makes the phone call?
Yes. I think he is polite. Everyone has different plans. Peter asked about others’ plans before sending out the invitations.
I think Peter is polite too. He used polite expressions when making the phone call.
Before making invitations, we should be polite and also think about others' plans. This is very important in social situations.
Act out a phone conversation with a partner. Invite him or her to do something with you.

I’m doing my homework.
Do you want to play volleyball at the sports park?
Of course! / I’d love to, but I’m working on something important.
