英会話 – Invitation to a party

Two neighbors talking
Martha: Hi Brittany! What horrible weather we’re having today. I’d love to go out, but I think it will just continue raining.
Brittany: 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?
Brittany: Oh, I’d love to come. Thanks for the invitation! Who’s going to be there?
Martha: Well, a number of people haven’t told me yet. But, Peter and Mark are going to help out with the cooking!
Brittany: Hey, I’ll help, too!
Martha: Would you? That would be great!
Brittany: I’ll make lasagna!
Martha: That sounds delicious! I know my Italian cousins are going to be there. I’m sure they’ll love it.
Brittany: Italians? Maybe I’ll just bake a cake…
Martha: No, no. They’re not like that. They’ll love it.
Brittany: Well, if you say so. Is there going be a theme for the party?
Martha: No, I don’t think so. Just a chance to get together and have fun.
Brittany: I’m sure it’ll be lots of fun.
Martha: But I’m going to hire a clown!
Brittany: A clown! You’re kidding me.
Martha: No, I’m not! As I child, I always wanted a clown. Now, I’m going to have my own clown at my own party.
Brittany: I’m sure everyone will have a good laugh.
Martha: That’s the plan!
