1.
A: This is nice. I like the color. Do you have a medium?
B: You’re holding a medium right now.
A: Oh, good. Can I try it on?
B: Sure, you can go right in there—behind you.
2.
A: where are these made?
B: They’re made in Korea.
A: They’re for tennis, right? Can you wear them for jobbing too?
B: Oh, sure.
3.
A: This is really comfortable.
B: Yes, and it would look really nice in the living room.
A: It’s almost big enough to sleep on.
B: I know. Should we get it?
4.
A: This would e a nice birthday present for Karen. She needs a new one.
B: Oh. I know she does, but isn’t it too big for her?
A: I don’t think so. You can adjust the seat and she’ll love this bell. And this price is
right.
5
A: How about this? Do you think it’ll look good on me?
B: I don’t think so. The pattern’s not right. And the color’s awful.
A: Okay. Let’s keep looking.
6.
A: This is a nice big one. There’s so much room inside. We really do need a new one.
B: Yes, but is it too big for the kitchen?

1.
A: What do you think of this jacket?
B: The style’s ok, I guess. How much is it?
A: It’s $40.
B: Wow! That’s really cheap. What colors does it come in?
A: Looks like they have it in black, gray, red, and brown.
B: I like those colors—especially the red one. Try it on.
A: Okay. Well, how do I look?
B: I don’t know. It’s not exactly your size.
A: Really? Do you think I should buy it, anyway?
B: No, don’t get it. It’s too big.
2.
A: how about this lamp?
B: It’s...unusual.
A: You mean, you don’t like the style.
B: Not really. And look at that price. $160!
A: Is that bad?
B: Well, it sounds pretty expensive to me.
A: What about the color?
B: Actually, the color is perfect. It goes perfectly with everything in the room. And the
size is just right, too. But it’s very expensive.
A: We could put it on the credit card.
B: That’s true, I guess. Let’s just buy it and go home.
3.
A: I have to get my sister a birthday present. What do you think about this watch?
B: It’s really cute. I love the style.
A: It only comes with black or brown band, though.
B: Yeah. I’d prefer some brighter colors. Brown is so-so. How much is it?
A: $69.95.
B: It’s okay, I guess.
A: What about the size?
B: It’s great! She’ll love it. Just get it!
A: Okay.
4.
A: Look at this sofa. What do you think?
B: Oh, I’m not sure I like the style. It’s too heavy looking.
A: Is it comfortable? Try it.
B: Mmm. It’s really comfortable. And I’d like to have something this size. Our old sofa is
way too small. This size is perfect.
A: What do you think of the color?
B: Well, green isn’t my favorite color, but it’s better than that awful brown one we have
now. It’s okay, I guess.
A: How much is it?
B: Oh, no! It’s $999. That’s really too expensive. We can’t afford it right now.
A: I know. Why don’t we wait ‘til next month of their mid-year sale? It might be cheaper
then.
B: Hey, that’s a good idea.

These microwave ovens are very popular. You won’t find them in other stores because
they’re made especially for us. We import them from our factory in Mexico. They’re very
well made and come with a three-year guarantee. Your receipt is your guarantee. One
great thing is they only weigh ten kilos, so you can easily pick one up if you want to
move it or clean it. They also have a really special feature you don’t find in other
microwaves. They display popular recipes on this little screen in front. It has receipes for
over 500 easy dishes.

This jacket is very strong. It’s made of nylon, so it’s very easy to take care of. It comes in
six different colors. You don’t need to dry clean it. You can just throw it in the washing
machine, then hang it up to dry. And let me show you something really special about it.
It’s reversible. It turns inside out so you can wear it either way. See? The color inside is
different from the color outside. Isn’t that great? So you really have two jackets for the
price of one.

These new flat screen TV are very popular nowadays. They’re not from the United States.
They’re made in South Korea. They’re quite light, so you can pick them up and move
them around if you want to. And the special thing about these TVs is that you can also
hang them on the wall. Now that’s something you can’t do with any other kind of TV!
They come in three different sizes. They’re more expensive than a regular TV, but
they’re very convenient, and they look great in your house or apartment.

These new watches are very popular with teenagers. They’re modern and made entirely
of plastic so they’re very light. Each watch comes with six different bands, so you can
change the band to match your clothes. Another thing is they’re very strong. They’re also
waterproof. But what’s really special is that this is not only a watch. You can use it to
send and receive e-mail messages.
