Buying clothes
Customer: You’ve got a sand-coloured skirt in the window ...
Assistant: Yes, madam ... which one exactly do you mean?
Customer: The one that costs £19.99.
Assistant: Yes, that's our new sports line. They're Italian. Very stylish. You'll find them over here. We've got them in sand, light blue, and pink. What size are you?
Customer: Fourteen, I think. - Have you got a top to go with it?
Assistant: Yes certainly. One of these T-shirts for example would look very nice with it.
Customer: How much are they?
Assistant: £7.65. They're pure cotton. What colour would you like?
Customer: I think the dark-blue might go nicely with the skirt.
Assistant: I'm sure it'll look very smart. - The fitting room's over there. (The customer tries on the skirt and T-shirt.)
Customer: The skirt fits all right but the T-shirt's rather tight.
Assistant: Let me see - ah, that’s a small. You'd better take a medium.(The customer tries on the medium-sized T-shirt.)
Customer: The medium's fine. - How much are these sandals here?
Assistant: £12.99.
Customer: Are they comfortable?
Assistant: Very. They're selling like hot cakes. I'm wearing a pair myself. They'd go very well with the skirt and T-shirt.
Customer: I'll need a size five.
Assistant: Oh dear, I'm afraid I don't have them in a five. But we're expecting some more in next week.
Customer: OK, I'll try again next week.
Assistant: Anything else? Some tights? The colours are interesting this year.
Customer: No, I'm all right for tights, thanks.
Assistant: Then that's £19.99 for the skirt, and £7.65 for the T-shirt - twenty-seven pounds sixty-four pence, madam. Is it cash?
Customer: Yes. Here you are. (She gives the assistant the money.)
Assistant Thanks very much. I'll put the receipt in the bag.
Customer: Thank you. - Oh, just a minute, these earrings are pretty. How much are they?
Assistant: £74.95.
Customer: Oh dear, that's very expensive. They must be real gold.
Assistant: They are. The stones are garnets.
Customer: They're beautiful. I'll have to try and save up for them. Goodbye!
Assistant: Goodbye!
