聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 1922 Baby?Showers

 
2--  I think so. Why did you ask that?
 
1--  I'm going to have my first baby, so I plan to hold a baby shower next Sunday.
 
2--  Congratulations! Why do people hold parties before the baby is born?
 
1--  It's the tradition. But baby showers as we know them today were not common until after World War Ⅱ.
 
2--  In any case, I like baby showers, because they allow friends and family to share the joy and excitement of welcoming a new life into the world.
 
1--  So you will come, won't you?
 
2--  Of course. I will prepare a good gift for the new arrival.
 
1--  Thank you very much.
