& Reading

Read, learn and act out the following conversations.

- Can I help you?

- Could you show us that perfume over there? How much does it cost?

- 225 hryvnyas.

- It’s too expensive.

- I don’t think so. It’s a French perfume and it smells nice.

- O. K. I’ll take it.

- I’d like a grey suit, please.

- Very well, sir. What size do you take in suits?

- I’m not quite sure. Besides sizes differ in different countries. I’d better try it on.

- Here are the latest styles… I think this one will fit you. You can change in the fitting-booth over there.

- Thank you.

- How do you find me, Victor? Does it suit me?

- Oh, yes, you look elegant in it. But it seems to me it’s a bit too loose in the shoulders.

- I wouldn’t say that. I feel comfortable in it. I wonder how much it is.

- 980 hryvnyas.

- A bit too expensive. But all the same I’m going to take it. I like the style and the colour. Besides, it’s pure wool. (to the shop-assistant). I’m taking it. Where do I pay? Shop-assistant: This way at the cash desk, please.

- And now you need a shirt and a tie to go with your new suit.

- I have a new shirt and a tie. I think they’ll match the suit perfectly.

- Then let’s drop in at the shoe department. I need shoes for everyday wear.

- I want a pair of walking shoes, please. My size is 42.

- Will you try these on?

- Oh, no, I don’t want lace-shoes. I want moccasins.

- Very well. Here are the moccasins. What do you think of them?

- They are too narrow. The right one pinches me terribly.

- But they’ll get a little larger with wear.

- Please, show me another pair.

- Shall I get you size 43? Perhaps 42 is too small.

- No, 42 is my size. But I don’t like these pointed toes. Will you show me shoes with square or round toes?

- Here you are. Try this pair on, will you?

- These shoes are just my size. I’ll take this pair and a box of boot polish. How much do I owe you?

- 347 hryvnyas, please.
