(two neighbors talking)
Martha: What horrible weather today. I’d love to go out, but I think it will just continue raining.
James: Oh, I don’t know. Perhaps the sun will come out later this afternoon.
Martha: I hope you’re right. Listen, I’m going to have a party this Saturday. Would you like to come?
James: Oh, I’d love to come. Thank you for inviting me. Who else is coming?
Martha: Well, a number of people haven’t replied to me yet. But, Peter and Mark are going to help out with the cooking!
James: Hey, I’ll help, too!
Martha: Would you? That would be great!
James: I’ll make lasagna[（意大利）烤寬麵條]!
Martha: That sounds delicious! I know my Italian cousins are going to be there. I’m sure they’ll love it.
James: Italians? Maybe I’ll just bake a cake...
Martha: No, no. They’re not like that. They’ll love it.
James: Well, if you say so... Is there going to be a theme for the party?
Martha: No, I don’t think so. Just a chance to get together and have fun.
James: I’m sure it’ll be lots of fun.
Martha: But I’m going to hire a clown[小醜]!
James: A clown! You’re kidding me.
Martha: No, no. As a child, I always wanted a clown. Now, I’m going to have my clown at my own party.
James: I’m sure everyone will have a good laugh.
Martha: That’s the plan!
