How do you like this dress?
It's nice. But what kind of dress are you looking for?
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?
Of course. It's common too that we wear something special for our Chinese New Year.
People here always wear the best clothes they have. Many people go out and buy clothes especially for New Year's Eve.
Any other common customs of your New Year?
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.
What's that?
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!
By the way, where are you going on New Year's Eve?
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.
Thanks a lot.
