B: Why don’t you try one?

A: Really? Okay. Mmm. These are good

5.

A: I think these are fine. They’ll be great for the beach. What do you think?

B: Yes, but don’t you think they’re a little small?

6.

A: Can I play this one? I’d like to listen to it before I buy it

B: Yes, let me play that for you. I think you’ll like it

3. Let’s Listen

1.

A: Could I help you with anything today, ma’am? B: Well, I really like this blouse. Do you have it in another design? A: Yes, we do. B: Great! I’ll take it, then

2.

A: Do you need any help, sir?

A: Yes.

B: Great! I’ll take them

3.

A: These are the most beautiful watches in the store

B: They really are nice. How much is this one?

6.

7. A: Good afternoon, ma’am. Can I help you find anything?

B: Oh, I’m not sure what I want. I’ll just look around for a while, thanks

8. A: May I help you with anything, or are you just looking?

B: Oh, that’s too bad

4. Let’s Listen

1.

A: Can I try on that shirt, please? B: This one?

A: No, not the one with the short sleeves. The other one

B: Here you are

A: Thanks. Can this be machine-washed, by the way?

B: No, it’s silk, so you should dry-clean it. It’s not a good idea to wash it by hand or machine-wash it

2.

A: I’d like to buy some envelopes

B: Which ones? These big ones?

A: No, those are too big. Do you have any smaller ones?

B: How about these?

B: No. These are meant for regular mail

3.

A: Can I see that watch, please?

B: The one with the narrow band?

B: Actually, anyone can wear it. It’s not just for a man. A: Hmm. It’s nice

4.

A: I love that tie.

B: I’m not crazy about stripes myself.

A: No, no—the blue and orange one.

B: Oh. I don’t like that, either

A: It’s kind of fun. It’s for my brother’s birthday. He likes things that are a little different

5.

A: Can I see that blouse?

B: The one without the pockets? A: No, the other one. B: Here you are. A: What fabric is this? Is it cotton? B: I think it’s a linen and cotton blend

6.

A: I’d like to get some apples. B: How about these big ones? A: I don’t think they are very sweet. The smaller ones are usually sweeter. B: Okay. Let’s get some of these small ones
