Going Shopping
Mia is shopping in town. She is looking for a new skirt and a present for her boyfriend’s birthday…
Shop assistant: Hi, can I help you?
Mia: Hi, I’m looking for a new skirt for myself and a t-shirt for my boyfriend’s birthday.
Shop assistant: OK, let’s have a look over here for a skirt for you first… What length and colour would you like?
Mia: Mm… I’d like a mid-length skirt in a nice, bright colour.
Shop assistant: What about this one with a floral pattern? It’s just arrived today for summer!
Mia: That’s nice! Can I try it in a 10 please?
Shop assistant: Of course! Let me find your size… mm…I’m sorry, we only have an 8. Would you like to try it?
Mia: Ok, I’ll try it on and see if it fits. How much is it?
Shop assistant: It’s £55 but we have a promotion on today with 20% off everything in the new collection. What about this yellow T-shirt for your boyfriend? It’s also in the promotion and we have all sizes available.
Mia: Perfect! The skirt fits fine and that T-shirt will be perfect for my boyfriend in a large. I’ll take them both!
