Nancy: Hi Cheryl! Are you ready to visit a department store with me?

Cheryl: Hi, Nancy! Yes, sure. Where do you want to go?

Nancy: First of all, I want to take back these jeans and to get a refund for them. They don't fit me at all. Secondly, I need to take this phone to waranty repair. I bought it a month ago and it doesn't work. I guess, that's all.

Cheryl: Wow. We have a busy day. Oh, well. Let's do that. What did you say was first on your list? The jeans store? I think, it's right here, on the ground floor of the mall.

Nancy: Yes, that's the shop. Excuse me, where can I get the refund for these jeans? I bought them yesterday at your shop and when I came back home, I realized they didn't actually fit me well.

Shop assistant: One moment, please. I'll call the chief manager. She is responsible for refunds. Here she is.

Chief manager: How can I help you, ladies?

Cheryl: My friend would like to get a refund for these jeans. She bought them at your store yesterday and then realized they didn't fit her.

Chief manager: I see. Do you have the receipt with you?

Nancy: Yes, I do. Here it is.

Chief manager: I will also need your ID, miss, to fill in the Return form.

Nancy: No problem. Here you go.

Chief manager: All right. You'll need to sign here and here. And wait a minute, please. I'll get the refund.

Nancy: Thank you very much.

Cheryl: Ok. What's next?

Nancy: I need to visit the store of mobile phones on the second floor.

Cheryl: Ok. Let's ask them, if they can repair your phone.

Nancy: Excuse me, who can I speak to about the waranty repair procedure?

Shop assistant: You may talk to our manager. He is at that corner stand.

Cheryl: Thank you.

Manager: Hello! How can I help you?

Nancy: Hello! I bought a mobile phone at your store a month ago and something is wrong with it now. I was wondering if it can be repaired as there is a one-year waranty for this phone.

Manager: Let's see. Do you have a waranty check with you?

Nancy: Yes, sure. Here it is.

Manager: We can offer a week's examination and then we can contact you.

Nancy: That's fine. I can wait.

Manager: In that case I'll need your full name and contact information.

Nancy: My name is Nancy Blair. My e-mail is [email protected]

Manager: Thank you. We'll contact you as soon as possible within a week.

***X***

Shop Assistant: Are you being served?

Mother: No, I'd like to buy a light summer dress for my daughter.

Shop Assistant (addressing Jane, a slim eighteen-year old girl): What size do you wear?

Jane: I don't know exactly. 8 or 10 maybe.

Shop Assistant: What do you think of this pale-blue one, made of silk.

Jane: The dress is not bad, but it's slightly out-of-fashion. Besides, the cut is not perfect, the skirt is too long, the collar looks awful and so do the sleeves. And I don't quite like the colour. I'd like to have a look at this pink one.

Shop Assistant: Just a moment! Well, here you are. The size is yours.

Jane: Thank you greatly. Can I try it on?

Shop Assistant: Certainly, you can. This way, please. (In the fitting-room Jane puts the dress on and looks at the mirror.)

Jane: What do you think, Mum? Isn't it terribly pretty? The cut is fantastic, the colour is raving.

Mother: I'd rather say fabulous! It’s really becoming to you! But, it's a bit loose on you. You look incredibly thin as though you're dying of hunger.

Jane: Mum?!

Shop Assistant: Oh, please, don't say so. It fits her perfectly. Take my advice and buy it.

Mother: How much does it cost?

Shop Assistant: $150.

Mother: It isn't very cheap, is it?

Shop Assistant: But the dress is the last fashion collection. Don't you want your daughter look smart?

Mother: Do you really think so?

Shop Assistant: I’m sure of that. By the way we’ve got a big choice of belts.

Jane: Wow, what a nice thing! It’ll match my shoes, mum! Let’s buy this belt, too.

Shop Assistant: Actually, it’s on sale now. It’s really a good deal!

Mother: Well, where is the cash desk?

Shop Assistant: This way, please. Good luck.

Jane: Thank you, mum! I love you so much!
