M: Hello, Heather! I’m looking for you!
W: What can I do for you, Jeremy?
M: Well, I have a party this weekend, so I want to know if you would like to come.
W: Wow, Jeremy, I’m so excited to be there! I’m sure it’s going to be a lot of fun.
M: That’s great. I’m really excited too. But I hope a lot of people don’t crash the party. My house is only big enough for the people I invited.
W: That’s really rude! But Jeremy, can I ask you a few questions about the party? You see, I’ve never been to a party before.
M: What? You’ve never been to a party before? What do you mean you’ve never been to a party? How is that possible?
W: You know, well, I usually spend my weekends studying. So what time do you think the party will start? 6 p. m.? 7 p. m.?
M: Are you kidding? Parties don’t start until late, like 10 p. m.
W: 10 p. m.? But it is the latest time for me to go back home.
M: Are you kidding? We are not in primary school, right?
W: Yeah, but, you know, it’s my parents’ rule.
M: Just make up an excuse. Tell your parents you’re sleeping at a friend’s house.
W: Maybe it’s only what I can do. Otherwise I’m supposed to be home just when the party is starting.
M: Don’t worry. It’s normal!
W: Well, Jeremy, what do you think I should wear? Should I wear something formal or casual?
M: Uh, Heather. We’re in high school. I don’t think anybody even has any formal clothes in their wardrobe.
W: OK, so you think I should dress down? Should I wear jeans and a T-shirt?
M: Yeah, definitely wear something casual. It’s not going to be a very fancy party, so there’s no reason to dress up.
W: Alright, Jeremy, I think I’m ready. I promise you that I’m going to be the life of the party. I’ll be there at 10 p. m.
M: Actually, there is one more thing I have to teach you. You have to be fashionably late.
W: What? You mean I should be late to the party?
M: That’s right. You have to make people think you are so cool, and have so many other exciting things to do that you couldn’t be there on time.
W: But why? I don’t understand!
M: Oh, God! What can I say! You can consider it to be one kind of party convention for girls. Yes, it’s a convention.
W: So can I understand in this way: The later I come, the more people think I am really cool?
M: Yeah, that’s it! And if you really want to look cool, don’t go to the party at all!
