Dialogue

It's Saturday and Mrs Smith has gone shopping with her friend Lucy for a new dress in the sales:

Mrs Smith: Well Lucy, what do you think?

Lucy: Mmm, it's nice, but I think you need a slightly bigger size. The top is gaping.
I think this is the only one. I'd better ask an assistant.
Mrs Smith:
Excuse me? Do you have this in a size 14?
Shop assistant: I'm afraid everything in the sale is out on display.
Mrs Smith: Oh dear, it's just a bit too tight.
Shop assistant: I think we have a size 14 in red.
Mrs Smith: Oh no. Red's just not my colour.
It's not bright red, it's a nice dark red. Here it is. Why don't you try it on? There's a
Shop assistant:
changing room free over there.
Later...  
Mrs Smith: It fits like a glove. What do you think Lucy?
Lucy: It looks really nice. I guess red suits you after all.

READING: Going shopping

Mrs Smith is going shopping with her son. They are looking for a present for Mr Smith's birthday. Mrs
Smith wants to buy him a new camera and Tom wants to buy him a jumper.

They drive to the department store on the high street. Mrs Smith uses the escalator to go to the Electrical
Department on the third floor and Tom takes the stairs up to the Men's Clothing Department on the first
floor.

When she gets to the Electrical Department she finds that cameras are sold in the Photography
Department on the ground floor. She takes the elevator down and asks the sales assistant there for some
help. She doesn't know much about cameras and needs some advice. He recommends an automatic
camera by Olympus, but it is too expensive. She asks him if he has anything a little cheaper and he tells
her about a special offer on the Pentax range. It still seems expensive so she thanks the assistant and
decides to shop around first.

Meanwhile, Tom is looking at the jumpers. He only has £10 to spend so he can't afford most of them. He
sees his mother and they decide to go to the smaller shops round the corner.
