Sophie: Hey, Shirley. The party has been wonderful. My husband and my children have enjoyed it very much, and me too.

 

Shirley: I've said you will enjoy your life here!

 

Sophie: I surely¹ will. By the way, is the party like this held every weekend in our neighborhood?

 

Shirley: Oh, I've forgotten to tell you. The party is held every other week. And every family gives their own performance each time.

 

Sophie: My children would like that; they like dancing very much.

 

Shirley: That's good!

 

Sophie: Look! Who is that guy on the stage?

 

Shirley: Oh, my God! That's my husband, Benjamin.

 

Sophie: Really?

 

Shirley: He likes American Idol² very much, and he always imitates³ the contestant⁴ at home. I can't believe he got on the stage himself.

 

Sophie: He performs very well. He is so funny!

 

Shirley: OK, just ignore him. I've noticed there are lots of exercise facilities in our community. After dinner you can go there for a walk with your family!

 

Sophie: OK, that's perfect! By the way, is there any playground in our neighborhood?

 

Shirley: Yes, there is one behind our building. And you can play tennis there. But if you want to play tennis there, they will change you 30 Yuan per hour.

 

Sophie: OK, got it! Thank you so much. You have helped me a lot!

 

Shirley: You are welcome! We are neighbors!

索菲：你好，雪莉。晚会太棒了。我丈夫和孩子都非常喜欢，当然我自己也非常喜欢。

 

雪莉：我说过你会喜欢这儿的生活的。

 

索菲：一定。对了，我们小区每个星期都会有这样的晚会吗？

 

雪莉：噢，我忘记告诉你了。晚会每隔一个星期开一次，而且每个家庭都要表演节目。

 

索菲：我的孩子们会喜欢的，他们非常喜欢跳舞。

 

雪莉：那太好了！

 

索菲：看那边，舞台上的那个人是谁啊？

 

雪莉：噢，天哪！那是我的丈夫，本杰明。

 

索菲：真的吗？

 

雪莉：他非常喜欢看《美国偶像》这个节目，他经常在家模仿那些参赛选手。真不敢相信他居然自己上舞台了。

 

索菲：他表演得非常好，他非常有趣！

 

雪莉：好了，别理他。我留意到我们小区里有很多健身设施，吃完晚饭你可以和家人去那里散步。

 

索菲：那太好了。对了，我们小区里有运动场吗？

 

雪莉：有啊，在我们那栋楼后面就有一个。你可以在那里打网球，但不是免费的，一小时30元。

 

索菲：好的，我知道了！谢谢你给了我那么多的帮助。

 

雪莉：不用谢！我们是邻居啊！
