53. Study the following dialogues. The first one is between Mrs Smith and her younger son John. The second is between Mrs Smith and a shop assistant.
A. It’s Saturday morning and Mrs Smith is going shopping.
Mrs S: |
John, I’m going to the shops. Is there anything you want? |
John: |
Yes, please! Can you pick up my magazine from the newsagent’s? |
Mrs S: |
Of course. Do you want to come with me? |
John: |
No way, I’m going round to Mike’s house, sorry. |
Mrs S: |
No problem. I’ll be about an hour, be home by 5 o’clock at the latest. |
John: |
O.K. I’ll see you later. |
A bit later...... | |
Mrs S: |
John, are you home? |
John: |
Yes, mum, I’m upstairs. |
Mrs S: |
Come down here, I bought you a new Nike T-shirt, I want you to try it on. |
John: |
Nike? Great I’m coming! |
A few minutes later..... | |
Mrs S: |
Well, does it fit? |
John: |
I think it’s a bit too small. |
Mrs S: |
Let’s have a look. Hmmm, I think you’ve grown again! |
John: |
I can’t wear it though. |
Mrs S: |
Do you like it? |
John: |
Yeah, it’s a nice colour. |
Mrs S: |
I’ll take it back to the supermarket and see if I can change it. |
B. Mrs Smith had bought a nice new T-shirt for John, but when he tried it on it didn’t fit. It’s Saturday evening and Mrs Smith has to return the T-shirt.
Mrs S: |
Excuse me, can you help me? |
Shop assistant: |
Yes, of course, what can I do for you? |
Mrs S: |
I bought this T-shirt for my son this afternoon, but it doesn’t fit him, it’s too small. |
Shop assistant: |
Do you want to change it or get a refund? |
Mrs S: |
I’d like to change it for a larger size. Do you have these in large? |
Shop assistant: |
I’ll just check. Let’s see, yes, we have large or extra large, which would you prefer? |
Mrs S: |
I think large will be fine, it’s for my son. |
Shop assistant: |
That’s fine, if it doesn’t fit just bring it back again. If you take it to the customer service desk, they’ll sort it all out for you. |
Mrs. S: |
Thank you. Just as a matter of interest, do you give refunds? |
Shop assistant: |
Yes, of course. You can bring any clothing items back up to three weeks after purchase, but you must keep the receipt. |
Mrs S: |
I see, thanks again. |
Shop assistant: |
You’re welcome. |
