Conversation 5: Buying Clothes |
Barbara Zacharias |
Excuse me, could you help me please? |
Sales assistant |
Of course, what might I show you? |
Barbara Zacharias |
I'm looking for a T-shirt. |
Sales assistant |
Made of cotton? |
Barbara Zacharias |
Yes, made of cotton. |
Sales assistant |
Yes, would you like it for yourself or are you going to give it as a present? |
Barbara Zacharias |
I'm looking for a T-shirt for my sister. |
Sales assistant |
When is her birthday? |
Barbara Zacharias |
On the thirty-first of January. Which colours do you have? |
Sales assistant |
We have it in yellow, red, black, beige, light blue, dark blue... |
Sophie Gerland |
Also in green, I see. |
Barbara Zacharias |
Yes, so could you show me a green T-shirt please? |
Sales assistant |
Yes, of course. Which size do you require? |
Barbara Zacharias |
She is a little smaller than I am, I think about a small size. |
Sales assistant |
Small or medium? |
Barbara Zacharias |
Hmm, small will be about right, I think. |
Sales assistant |
Here you are, a green T-shirt with a round neck. |
Barbara Zacharias |
Could I perhaps see a T-shirt in the medium size please? |
Sales assistant |
Of course, here you are, that's it in the medium size. |
Barbara Zacharias |
Yes, I'll take the T-shirt in the medium size. What does it cost? |
Sales assistant |
Sixteen euros. |
Barbara Zacharias |
Is that cheap or expensive? |
Sophie Gerland |
Sixteen euros for a T-shirt. That's not expensive. It's a T-shirt that is good value for money. |
