生活英语情景口语100主题 16. Shopping 购物
Dialogue 1 A(Alyssa) C(Connor)
A: It's such a nice day outside. Let's take a walk into town and do some window-shopping.
C: You know I hate shopping more than aything else in this world.
A: I know. But we could get some exercise in, and we could get some errands run, too. Windous-shopping won't cost you anything?
C: What kind of errands do we need to run?
A: Well, we could go to the newsagent's to pick up the Sunday paper, go to the butcher's to pick up a Chicken for a roast dinner, and to the chemist's to pick up your prescription from the doctor.
C: I'll only go if we can stop at the off-license to pick up something to drink for tonight.
A: Fine, we'll do that on the way home, so we don't have to carry it the whole time.
C: Sounds good. You have to promise not to go into any of the stores in the mall though. I know how you like to try things on in the fitting rooms, especially if the stores have special offers.
A: I promise. We're only going for a walk to get some exercise and to get some things done that we haven't had time for.
C: OK, let's go then.
A: Do you have any money?
C: For what?
A: For our errands, and maybe a little extra for something from a vendor on the street.
C: You said you were only going to windos shop!
A: I agreed to not go into the mall, but I still look at things in the market!
C: I should have known...
Dialogue 2
C: What do you think about this store? I heard it's a posh store that's only got branches in big cities.
A: I love this store! The only problem is that it's extremely expensive.
C: Don't worry. I've decided that for your birthday I'm going to take you shopping for a new dress.
A: Really? I thought you hated shopping?
C: I do, that's why you should appreciate this gift!
A: Sure. That's really nice of you. Let's go in and try some things on.
C: How about this red dress? I think it would really suit you.
A: That's gorgeous! Do they have it in a size 8?
C: Here you go. On my other day, it would cost me a fortune, but it's on special offer today.
A: I think this colour isn't quite right for me. Do they have the same dress in white?
C: Let me look. Let's see... they've got one in blue, green, pink, black... and white. Here you are.
A: This is perfect! What do you think?
C: I think you look fantastic. Happy Birthday!
A: I'm so lucky. You only get a chance like this once in a blue moon! Thanks honey!
