Shirley: Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm your neighbor. My name is Shirley.

Neighbor: Hi, Shirley. I'm Sophie. It's nice to meet you.

Shirley: Nice to meet you, too.

Neighbor: Please come in.

Shirley: Here is a little gift for your family. It's a calendar with all the community events on it. I hope it can be helpful.

Neighbor: I really appreciate it.

Shirley: Since we are neighbors, if you need any help or anything, please come to me.

Neighbor: I will. Actually, I am worried so much about the security of this community because my house has been burgled twice before.

Shirley: Oh, don't worry about that here. There are security guards on duty 24 hours a day and they patrol¹ all over the neighborhood. You know, they are all very strong.

Neighbor: Really? That's good. Is there any supermarket in our neighborhood?

Shirley: Of course. There is a Carrefour near the neighborhood. I'll show you there if you want to.

Neighbor: That's terrific²!

Shirley: By the way, a party will be held for new neighbors the day after tomorrow; I hope I can see you there.

Neighbor: Yeah, and we can get to know each other at the party.

Shirley: That sounds good! I've gotta go.

Neighbor: OK, come and visit anytime.

Shirley: Thanks for the invitation. I will!

雪莉：你好，首先让我做个自我介绍。我是你的邻居，我叫雪莉。

邻居：你好，雪莉，我叫索菲。见到你非常高兴。

雪莉：我也非常高兴见到你。

邻居：请进。

雪莉：这是给你们家的一点小礼物。是一本台历，上面列出了所有的社区活动。希望这能对你们有帮助。

邻居：非常感谢。

雪莉：既然我们是邻居，如果你需要任何东西或帮助，都可以来找我。

邻居：我会的。事实上，我非常担心这个社区的安全问题，因为我们家以前被盗过两次。

雪莉：噢，在这儿不用担心。这儿一天24小时都有保安值班，他们会在社区里巡逻，而且他们都非常强壮。

邻居：是吗？那太好了。那我们社区里有超市吗？

雪莉：当然有啊。在我们社区附近有个家乐福超市。你要想去的话，我带你去。

邻居：那太棒了！

雪莉：顺便说一声，后天会有一个为迎接新邻居而开的晚会，希望你能参加。

邻居：好啊，在晚会上我们可以相互了解。

雪莉：恩，听起来不错。我要走了。

邻居：好的，欢迎随时来访。

雪莉：谢谢你的邀请。我会的！
