Hello Everyone,
Here is the story I read for the listening exercise on Monday.
Baby Showers
Baby showers are a common celebration in the United States. A baby shower is usually a surprise party. A baby shower is a party where a pregnant woman is “showered” with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close female friend or relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes co-workers of a pregnant person will also throw a baby shower.
The baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant. Sometimes though, because predicting the due date of a baby isn’t always exact, a baby shower can happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in someone’s home or outside, like in a restaurant or catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower.
