• Alice: Yes, it is. Do you think it would suit me?

• Alice: That’s not bad for such a nice dress.
• Laura: No, it’s not. It’s a bargain.

(Alice goes to the cashier and pays for the dress)

• Salesperson: Oh, that’s a lovely dress. What kind of shoes are you looking for?
• Alice: I’m not sure. Maybe some heels or some flats.
• Salesperson: Well, we have a wide selection of shoes in different styles and colors. What size are you?
• Alice: I’m size 7.
• Salesperson: OK, follow me please.

(The salesperson shows Alice some shoes)

• Salesperson: How about these shoes? They are very elegant and comfortable.
• Alice: They are nice, but they are too black for my dress.
• Salesperson: I see. How about these ones? They are silver and have some glitter on them.
• Alice: They are pretty, but they are too flashy for my taste.
• Salesperson: I understand. How about these ones? They are purple and have some flowers on them.
• Alice: They are perfect! They match my dress exactly.
• Salesperson: Great! Do you want to try them on?
• Alice: Yes, please.
