Clothes 服饰

【Beginner】step1：初级入门

A: What do you think of this dress? Do you think it suits me?

B: Sure. Why don’t you try it on? The fitting room is over there.

A: It’s just the right size-a perfect fit! Have you seen anything you like?

B: I’m thinking about buying this sweater. I know it’s June now, but it will be perfect for autumn and winter.

A: It looks too big for you, but I like the color and the material is of good quality. Is it on sale?

B: Yes, it’s half price. It’s supposed to be too large--that’s the fashion.

A: I might get one too, but in a different color. I prefer light blue to white.

B: There. It looks great, don’t you think? I’m going to get these jeans as well. I need a new pair. I‘m also going to buy this scarf ready for winter.

A: I’m getting this beret. Doesn’t it look cool? I’d like to get some jeans too, but I don’t have enough cash on me.

B: Don’t worry. I’ve got my credit card. You can pay me back later.

A: Thanks! Now I don’t need to come back to the shop a second time.

【Intermediate】step2: 中级进阶

A: I’d like to be fitted for a suit please.

B: Certainly. Have you decided which material you would like the suit to be made from? We have a selection of materials over here.

A: Well, I thought that I would choose either this one or that one. I really want a dark blue suit. Which do you recommend?

B: This material is a little more expensive, but is of much higher quality.

A: Yes. I can feel the difference in material. There’s not much difference in price. Ok, I’ll take the more expensive one.

B: Fine. I’ll measure you for the suit.…shoulder…waist…inside leg…forearm…upper arm…thank you.

I’ll prepare the suit for you tomorrow. Could you come again the day after tomorrow just to check that the suit fits correctly? Then I will make the final suit within a few days.

A: That’s fine. I would also like a few shirts and a jacket. I don’t need them specially made. Those shirts over there look very nice. Are they made of cotton?

B: Yes, they are. How many would you like and of which color?

A: I’ll take three light blue ones, please.

B: Are you looking for a casual jacket or something formal?

A: Just a casual one-a sport jacket. This one looks nice. I’ll just try it on.…yes, that’s fine. I’ll take it. Here’s my credit card.

B: Thank you very much, sir. I’ll put the shirts and jacket into a bag for you.

A: Thank you very much. I’ll see you the day after tomorrow.
