Rose：Happy New Year, Thomas. Come and enjoy some nice drinks with us, will you?

Thomas：Thank you, I will. What are you up to today?

Rose：First, I’m going to get ready for the parade. I have a great costume. Then later today, I’m going to church. If you want, I can give you a costume and you can be in the parade too. It’ll be fun. You should come.

Thomas：Sure, why not? It sounds like fun. Why are you going to church?

Rose：My father likes to go and I told him I would go with him.

Thomas：What for?

Rose：Lots of people, especially seniors, like to go to church and attend the evening service.

罗丝：新年快乐，托马斯。来和我们一起喝点什么吧，好吗？

托马斯：谢谢，好的。你今天打算干什么？

罗丝：首先，我得为今天的花车游行做准备。我有一身很漂亮的节日服装呢。稍后，我会去教堂。如果你愿意的话，我可以给你一身节日服装，这样你就能加入到游行的队伍里了。这非常有意思的，你应该来。

托马斯：好的，干嘛不去呢？听起来蛮有趣的。那你为什么要去教堂呢？

罗丝：我爸爸想去，我和他说了我会陪他一起去的。

托马斯：去干什么呢？

罗丝：很多人尤其是那些长者，都喜欢去教堂参加晚祷。
