Jane:'This is a good clothes shop. I used to buy a lot of clothes in this shop in London.'
Maria:'I need to buy some trousers and it is normally cheaper to buy them in Britain
than in Spain.'
Shop Assistant:'Can I help you?'
Jane:'No thank you, we're just looking.'
Shop Assistant:'Ok. If you need anything, you ask.'
5 minutes later

Maria: 'Do you think they have any trousers of the make Calvin Klein?'
Jane: 'Yes, they are over there.'
Maria:'I'm a bit confused with the sizes. The clothes only have British sizes on them.
Which of the trousers are a european size 38 for the waist? The part of the trousers
near the stomach.'
Jane: 'Let me look. I think this is a 38 for the waist. And the length? You have long
legs so 39, I suppose? Here you are?'
Maria:'Where can I try them on? I don't want to buy them before wearing them?'
Jane: 'I don't know, we better ask where the changing rooms are?

Excuse me, where are the changing rooms?'
Shop Assistant:'The changing rooms are over there at the back of the store.'
Jane: 'Thank you.'
5 minutes later

Jane: 'Do they fit you?'
Maria:'Not really, they are a little bit too tight on my waist. Maybe I need a bigger
size. And they are also a little too casual, I need them for work. I'll ask the shop
assistant if they have anything which is smart, something more appropriate for work.

Excuse me, do you have anything smarter, more formal in the same make and in a
slightly bigger size for the waist?'
Shop Assistant: 'Yes we do, try these. A lot of people buy these trousers to wear for
work.'
5 minutes later

Jane:'They look very good on you. They suit you perfectly.'
Maria:'I like them, they feel comfortable. The trousers also match my shoes and my
top perfectly. The colours combine perfectly.'
Shop Assistant:'How are the trousers?'
Maria:'Perfect. I'd like to take them.'
Shop Assistant:'They are beautiful. Follow me and you can buy them.'
