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 surely 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 Idol very much, and he always imitates the contestant 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。晚會(huì)太棒了。我丈夫和孩子都非常喜歡，當(dāng)然我自己也非常喜歡。
雪莉：我說過你會(huì)喜歡這兒的生活的。
索菲：一定。對(duì)了，我們小區(qū)每個(gè)星期都會(huì)有這樣的晚會(huì)嗎？
雪莉：噢，我忘記告訴你了。晚會(huì)每隔一個(gè)星期開一次，而且每個(gè)家庭都要表演節(jié)目。
索菲：我的孩子們會(huì)喜歡的，他們非常喜歡跳舞。
雪莉：那太好了！
索菲：看那邊，舞臺(tái)上的那個(gè)人是誰?。?br />
雪莉：噢，天哪！那是我的丈夫，本杰明。
索菲：真的嗎？
雪莉：他非常喜歡看《美國偶像》這個(gè)節(jié)目，他經(jīng)常在家模仿那些參賽選手。真不敢相信他居然自己上舞臺(tái)了。
索菲：他表演得非常好，他非常有趣！
雪莉：好了，別理他。我留意到我們小區(qū)里有很多健身設(shè)施，吃完晚飯你可以和家人去那里散步。
索菲：那太好了。對(duì)了，我們小區(qū)里有運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)嗎？
雪莉：有啊，在我們那棟樓后面就有一個(gè)。你可以在那里打網(wǎng)球，但不是免費(fèi)的，一小時(shí)30元。
索菲：好的，我知道了！謝謝你給了我那么多的幫助。
雪莉：不用謝！我們是鄰居?。?br />
