[speaker001:] How do you like this dress?
[speaker002:] It's nice. But what kind of dress are you looking for?
[speaker001:] Something attractive and dressy. Maybe a little sexy too. New Year's Eve is a special occasion and it only happens once a year, right?
[speaker002:] Of course. It's common too that we wear something special for our Chinese New Year.
[speaker001:] People here always wear the best clothes they have. Many people go out and buy clothes especially for New Year's Eve.
[speaker002:] Any other common customs of your New Year?
[speaker001:] Before the New Year, we always send greeting cards to our relatives and friends to wish them a happy year. On the street and in stores people usually greet others with a " Happy New Year ". It's also common for people to make a New Year's resolution.
[speaker002:] What's that?
[speaker001:] It's when people quit a bad habit or do something they find hard to do. Many people resolve to quit smoking, lose weight, or stop nagging their wife, etc. However, it usually lasts only for a few days!
[speaker002:] By the way, where are you going on New Year's Eve?
[speaker001:] We're going to a night club for dinner and dancing, then we'll go down to the city square for the big celebration. There's always a fireworks display put on by the local government. We all want you to come too.
[speaker002:] Thanks a lot.
