3. Buying a suit

- What kind of suit do you have in mind, sir?
- I’d like a light suit for summer wear, something traditional, nothing
too fashionable.
- Single- or double-breasted?
- I'd like something sharp.
- What’s your size?
- I’m afraid I don’t know my English size.
- You’ll have to try on this one for size in the fitting room over there.
- I don’t think it’s my size: the jacket is too tight and the trousers are a
bit short.
- Yes, I think the suit is one size too large for you. Here’s another, a
size smaller. It’s 38, long. It looks marvellous on you. It really
becomes you. It fits you perfectly.
- So it does.
- It’s of very good quality. Look at the brand name. This material will
wear for ages, and it’s even washable.
- I like the colour and the style. I think I’ll take it.

3. Presents for children

- My nephew will be six next week. I need to buy a present for him.
- You should buy him a wind-up toy. There’s a very good choice at
the Toys-R-US.
- He’s got a lot of those.
- Skateboards are very popular.
- Do you think I want him to hurt himself?
- You can buy a bike. Or you can choose something educational, for
example, a do-it-yourself kit.

4. At a ready-made clothes department

- Can I help you?
- Could you let me see that mauve dress in the window? It’s my
favourite colour.
- I’m afraid it’ll be too tight for you. Try on this one.
