Read, translate and reproduce the dialogues.




 

 Dialogue A

At the Footwear Department

Salesgirl: What can I do for you, madam?

Customer: I’d like a pair of strong walking shoes for everyday wear.

Salesgirl: What size do you take in shoes?

Customer: My size is 37.

Salesgirl: Will you try on these brown shoes?

Customer:Don’t you think that the heels are a bit too high for everyday wear?

Salesgirl: Oh, no. Such heels are all the fashion now. But you can try on another pair. This is a pair of nice flat-heeled shoes. Do they pinch?

Customer: I like them much better than those ones. Will you give me a shoe for the left foot, please? It’s a perfect fit. How much are they?

Salesgirl: 90 roubles.

Customer: Will you wrap them up, please? Where is the cashdesk?

Salesgirl: It’s at the end of the department. Thank you.

Customer:Thank you. Good-bye.

 

 Dialogue B.

At the Ready-Made Clothes Department

Customer: I’d like a summer frock.

Salesgirl: Certainly. What is your size?

Customer: 46. I’m stock size.

Salesgirl: The dresses on that rail are all size 46. Look them through and you may find something to your taste.

Customer: May I try on this cotton dress? Does it fit me?

Salesgirl: It fits you perfectly but I don’t think the colour becomes you. It’s too dark.

Customer: Have you got something a shade lighter?

Salesgirl: I’m afraid, we haven’t. Would mind trying on this light-blue one?

Customer: But it’s artificial silk. It’s too hot for summer wear.

Salesgirl: Will you drop in in a couple of days? We are expecting most of our summer stock at the end of the week.

Customer: Yes, of course. Thank you. Good-bye.

Salesgirl: Good-bye.

 

Dialogue C.

Buying Food Stuffs

Mother: Ann, will you, please, do the shopping today? I’m very busy.

Ann: Of course, I shall. What am I to buy?

Mother: I want to make a festive dinner tomorrow. Your aunt Liza and her husband promised to come and see us on Saturday.

Ann: What are you going to cook? Shall we have something special?

Mother: For the first course I want to make chicken broth. Buy a chicken, but mind, it mustn’t be very fat.

Ann: Must I buy anything else at the butcher’s?

Mother: If they have lean mutton, buy 2 kilos, I’ll make mutton chops for the second course.

Ann: Is that all?

Mother: I’m afraid we’ve run out of potatoes and tomatoes. Drop in at the greengrocer’s and get two kilos of potatoes and one of tomatoes.

Ann: I believe, that is all now?

Mother: Not yet. Will you look in at the cake shop and buy a chocolate cake? Aunt Liza is very fond of it. That seems to be all. Here is the money.

Ann: Give me a shopping bag and I’ll start.

 

Dialogue D.

At the greengrocer’s

Jane: Good morning. Have you got any nice pears?

Salesman: We have some, but they are not very good, I’m afraid.

Jane: Let me see what you’ve got. Oh, yes, they are very hard, aren’t they, Natasha?

Natasha: Yes, they are. Haven’t you got any better ones?

Salesman: Sorry, we have no other pears. Try some of these apples instead. Look, aren’t they nice?

Jane: Let’s take two pounds of the apples, Natasha, and some strawberries. Have you got any?

Salesman: Oh, yes, we have some very good ones.

Jane: How much are they?

Salesman: They are 10 roubles a pound.

Jane: Well, one pound of these, please. Here’s money.

Salesman: And here are your apples, and your strawberries and here’s your change. Thank you.

Natasha: Just a moment, Jane. Have they any sweets in the shop? Let’s get some chocolates to take home.

Jane: They haven’t got any chocolates here. They’ve only got fruit and vegetables. Let’s go to the confectioner’s. They have all sorts of sweets.

Natasha: OK, let’s go there.
