W: Hello?
M: Hi Amy, it’s Ryan. I’m calling because I want to invite you and your sister Ashley to a dinner party this Saturday. My roommate Erick and I are hosting a 1960s theme party with a few  other friends.
W: A theme party? Is that like a dress-up party?
M: Sort of … You’re certainly encouraged to dress in 1960s  fashions! Short skirts, bright colors, and bell-bottom jeans! Or go to the beginning of the 1960s and come as one of your favorite actresses … But it’s not just cool clothes; we’ll have food, games, and entertainment inspired by the 1960s. In fact, we’ll start our meal with alien noodles in honor of all those space and alien TV shows.
W: Wait! Wait! What are “alien noodles”? Why not have regular noodles in honor of the movie The Godfather?
M: No way! The Godfather is from the 1970s. Anyway, alien noodles are bright green noodles with purple sauce!
W: What?! That’s crazy!
M: Yeah! Anyway, there’ll be lots of other things. I don’t want to spoil the surprises. But just foryou, we’ll end with light desserts and coffee from one of your favorite 1960s movies.
W: I can’t wait! Ooooooh, I have an idea. We can have a special bar and make fancy mixed drinks.
They’re always drinking in old TV shows!
M: Perfect! And start reviewing 1960s music! We’re having a dance contest and a singing contest.
W: This sounds like a lot of fun. Can I invite my roommate? She loves all of the classic movies from that time!
M: Of course – the more, the merrier! Anyway, it starts at 7:00 p.m. – my apartment.

录音原文
     Since I’m a student, I go to school on weekdays and so I don’t have too much free time. I usually spend six or seven hours at school. After that I either go downtown for some shopping or go home and study. If I have some free time during the week I might read a book or watch TV. Lately my evenings have been spent preparing for my graduation examination, which takes up a lot of time.
     Even though I have a lot to do, I still have some free time for leisure activities. On weekends I like to go with my family to our cottage. I like taking long walks around the countryside and I like watching the seasons change.
     I have the most free time during the summer months. One of my favorite activities is to go canoeing with my friends. We borrow a couple of canoes and choose a nice spot on the river to begin. We spend the day floating down the river. Sometimes if it gets hot we jump in the water and go swimming. Of course we take breaks during the day; we stop along the river to prepare some food or to visit a local pub. In the evening we set up our tents and make  a campfire. We spend the evening talking, singing songs, and enjoying nature. We often cook some sausages over the campfire. And one of my favorite things to do is wrap potatoes in foil and then cook them in the hot ashes. These wonderful trips, just like summer, always end too soon.
