[speaker001:] Hello, Tom, are you free next Sunday?
[speaker002:] I think so. Why did you ask that?
[speaker001:] I'm going to have my first baby, so I plan to hold a baby shower next Sunday.
[speaker002:] Congratulations! Why do people hold parties before the baby is born?
[speaker001:] It's the tradition. But baby showers as we know them today were not common until after World Warri.
[speaker002:] 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.
[speaker001:] So you will come, won't you?
[speaker002:] Of course. I will prepare a good gift for the new arrival.
[speaker001:] Thank you very much.
