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。
