Emily: There you are! Look at this linen summer dress, mum. It’s my size, and very fashionable now.
Dora: Have you tried it on?
Emily: No, I was waiting for you. Isn’t it lovely?
(Three minutes later, in front of the mirror)
Dora: Yes, I like the style, it suits you perfectly. But you haven’t got the proper shoes. And how much is it?
Salesgirl: 16 evro.
Dora: Oh, it’s more than the outfit I’ve just bought.
Salesgirl: Linen things are always expensive, besides it’s the new fashion.
Dora: If we buy the dress, we can’t afford any shoes at the moment.
Emily: It’s an easy thing to buy matching shoes for this dress. We can do it one of these days.
Dora: If they are not as expensive as the dress.
Emily: I don’t think so.
Dora: We’ll take it then. Can you wrap it up?
Salesgirl: Of coups, madam. Here is the receipt. The cash register is over there. Here you are.
It’s good value for your money. Goodbye.
Dora: Now I’d like to buy a pair of gloves. How do we get to the haberdashery department?
Michael: Oh, it’s over there on the left.
