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

I’ve said you will enjoy your life here!

我說過你會喜歡這兒的生活的。

John：

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

一定。對了，我們小區每個星期都會有這樣的晚會嗎?

Shirley：

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

噢，我忘記告訴你了。晚會每隔一個星期開一次，而且每個家庭都要表演節目。

He likes American Idol very much, and he always imitates the contestant at home. I can’t believe he got on the stage himself.

He performs very well. He is so funny!

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!

John：

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

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.

有啊，在我們那棟樓后面就有一個。你可以在那里打網球，但不是免費的，一小時30元。

You are welcome! We are neighbors!
