A: Good morning, can I help you?

B: Well, I’m looking for a pair of shoes. Size 6.

A: What colour would you like?

B: Black, I think.

A: I can offer you this pair of leather shoes.

B: They look wonderful. May I try them on?

A: Sure. How are they? Aren’t they tight?

B: Quite comfortable. They are not tight, but the heels are too high, I’m afraid.

A: Do you want them for a special occasion?

B: Oh, yes. My friend’s wedding.

A: It’s a very good quality. I really don’t think you can find better anywhere else.

B: The price seems rather expensive. 150 €… Anyway, I’ll take this pair.

Shop Assistant: Can I help you?

Customer: I’m looking for a skirt.

SA: All the skirts are on sale today. They are 25% off. What size are you looking for?

C: I wear a size 6.

SA: What color do you like?

C: Maybe light blue or pink.

SA: Okay. How about this one? The pink and white stripes match your blouse.

C: I don’t like stripes. I would like a skirt without stripes.

SA: Okay. Let’s see. Here we have a hot pink skirt. Do you like this one?

C: Oh yes, I do. Oh, what about this blue one? This is a beautiful skirt. Can I try the pink and the blue skirts on?

SA: Of course. The dressing room is behind the cash register on your left.

C: Thank you.

The customer comes out of the dressing room wearing the pink skirt.

SA: Oh, that skirt fits you very well. Did you try on the other skirt, too?

C: Yes, I did. But it doesn’t fit. It is too tight on my waist. I like this one very much. How much is it?

SA: Regular price is $58. It is $43.50 on sale.

C: That’s a good price. I’ll take it. Where do I pay?

SA: How will you pay? Cash or credit card?

C: In cash, I think.

SA: It’s $43.50. Thank you. Have a nice day.

C: Thank you. Good-bye.

C: Excuse me, how can I get to the women's department?

SA: Over there, on the right, madam, just near the linen department.

C: Thank you.

SA: What can I do for you?

C: I need gloves.

SA: It’s 75 €.
