- Sixteen pounds ninety.

- Well, it's a bit expensive.

- But it's very nice.

- All right, I'll take it.

- I'd like to buy a pair of jeans.

- Blue or any other kind?

- Blue and stonewashed, please.

- What size do you take?

- Well, I don't know exactly. Medium size.

- Ah, this pair is lovely. But it seems too large.

- How about this one?

- I like it. How much is it?

- 27 pounds.

- Can I try it on?

- Yes. The fitting box is over there.

- Excuse me, how much is this blue shirt?

- Nine pounds, sir.

- And that green one?

- Seven, but I'm afraid it's not your size.

- Don't worry, I want one for my brother. He's eighteen, and he likes bright colours.

- How about this purple one with pink stars on it?

- Oh no, that's too wild. I think I like the green one. Will you wrap it up for me?

- Certainly, sir. Anything else?

- No, thanks. Do I pay here?

- Yes, if you please.

Souvenir
