Buying a Shirt

A = Shop Assistant B = Customer


A: Can I help you, Sir?

B: Yes, I would like to buy a shirt, please.

A: What colour shirt would you like?

B: I want to get a black shirt.

A: We keep all the shirts in that section over there. Come with me and I will show you.

B: Ok. Thank you.

A: Here we are, sir. Have a look on these shirts and see which one you like. What size are you after?

B: I am after size 38.

A: Size 38 is here. Have a look at this one.

B: It looks all right. How much is it?

A: You will see the price on the shirt on this piece of paper. It says 45 dollars here.

B: Oh my God. It is a bit expensive. I want to get a cheaper one if I may.

A: Look at these ones then. They are all under 20 dollars.

B: This is great. The quality is almost the same. Let me have a look first.

A: Take your time, sir.

B: All right. I will take this one. The price tag says 19.95.

A: That’s right.

B: Now, where can I pay for the shirt?

A: You can pay at the cash register over there.

B: Oh, I see. Can I use a credit card or do you take cash only?

A: We take both. You can pay by credit card or in cash.

B: Great! Thanks for your help.

A: You’re welcome, sir. Have a nice day.

B: You too.
