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 patrol 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 terrific!

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，首先讓我做個自我介紹。我是你的鄰居，我叫雪莉。

鄰居：你好，雪莉，我叫索菲。見到你非常高興。

雪莉：我也非常高興見到你。

鄰居：請進。

雪莉：這是給你們家的一點小禮物。是一本臺歷，上面列出了所有的社區活動。希望這能對你們有幫助。

鄰居：非常感謝。

雪莉：既然我們是鄰居，如果你需要任何東西或幫助，都可以來找我。

鄰居：我會的。事實上，我非常擔心這個社區的安全問題，因為我們家以前被盜過兩次。

雪莉：噢，在這兒不用擔心。這兒一天24小時都有保安值班，他們會在社區里巡邏，而且他們都非常強壯。

鄰居：是嗎?那太好了。那我們社區里有超市嗎?

雪莉：當然有啊。在我們社區附近有個家樂福超市。你要想去的話，我帶你去。

鄰居：那太棒了!

雪莉：順便說一聲，后天會有一個為迎接新鄰居而開的晚會，希望你能參加。

鄰居：好啊，在晚會上我們可以相互了解。

雪莉：恩，聽起來不錯。我要走了。

鄰居：好的，歡迎隨時來訪。

雪莉：謝謝你的邀請。我會的!
