Alice:Hello, Miss Zhang. I've been trying to figure out when we should have the New Year's party. Could you give me a suggestion?

艾麗斯:你好,張小姐。我一直在想，我們應該在什么時候開一個新年聚會。你能給我個建議嗎?

Miss Zhang:Sure. On the twenty-ninth I'll be out of the school all day at a seminar. Either the twenty-eighth or the thirtieth is fine.

張小姐:當然。29日我要離開學校，參加整天的研討會。要么28日或30。

Alice:Well, why don't we make it the thirtieth? We can set it up from three to five in the aftermoon. That way, everybody can just go home afterwards.

愛麗絲:嗯,何不就定在30號吧?下午3點至5點。這樣,之后每個人就可以回家。

Miss Zhang:Sounds good to me. You make up the invitations.

張小姐:聽起來不錯。你可以制作邀請函了。
