english conversation

for a salesperson

buying shoes

how may i help you i’m looking for a

pair of leather shoes

what size do you wear

seven seven for which brand

does the same size mean different things

for different brands

it should be standard across all brands

right

for a few brands the same size can mean

slightly different fitting

really i thought otherwise

anyway i wear size 7 of hush puppies

and because i want to buy the same brand

it shouldn’t be a problem

yes it won’t be a problem in your case

this section has new arrivals and this

has shoes on sale

the variety is far less here because i’m

buying shoes for at least

a few years i would like to buy

something i like

i prefer new arrivals

most of the shoes on sale were picked up

by customers within a day

of the opening of the sale that’s why

you would find

far less variety there

why don’t you try these ones

not these ones i’m looking for a more

formal look

the ones with laces and predominantly

plain texture

i like this one let me try it

[Music]

this fits well i’ll take this one in

black

size seven would you like to see socks

and shoe polish as well

not polish but yes socks

do you sell socks only in combo of three

we sell by pair as well here they are

okay i’ll take these two pairs

anything else sir no thanks

i’ll get the billing done then sure

[Music]

buying clothes sir how may i help you

i’m looking for formal and casual shirts

and trousers

that side

formal wear though is on the first floor

alright i’ll start with formal wear

[Music]

what size shirt do you wear i wear a 39

you’ll find 39 shirts on these shelves

can you take out this this this

and this one i want

the ones without cufflinks

none of these are with cufflinks

i like the plain light shades of pink

and blue

these are nice shirts they would go well

with dark trousers

especially those in shades of blue or

black

you can take a look at trousers as well

before you try

all of them together you show me

trousers in 32

inch waist size these shelves are 32

inches

can you take this and this out

where is the dressing room

that side

i’ll take two shirts and blue trousers

okay sir we can now move to the ground

floor for the casual shirt

they go down to the ground floor and

move to the section

for casual shirts

show me the new arrivals

you’ll like this when you roll your

sleeves up with this shirt on

the cloth underneath provides a

contrasting color and pattern

i like this one let me try this one out

[Music]

okay please pack this one as well

now i have two formal shirts trousers

and

one casual shirt

would you want to see a tie belt or

shoes

no problem sir our tailor can take the

measurement for the length of your

trousers

and would stitch the bottom accordingly

in the meantime

i’ll get your bill ready when can i

collect the trousers

in two hours okay

[Music]

buying groceries

i want two liters of double toned milk

a dozen eggs a liter of soybean cooking

oil

one pouch of buttermilk two kilograms of

tor dal

three flavored yogurts and a kilogram

of raw ground nut

[Music]

how much is it for five hundred and

fifty five dollars

how much are you charging for the eggs

fifty five dollars a dozen that’s more

than what you charged the last time

rates have gone up in the last week

okay give me some discount as i am

buying quite a few items

we hardly make any margins for these

items

i know how much you make okay

give me five hundred and thirty dollars

[Music]

don’t put the items in polythene carry

bags

kindly use this jute bag

[Music]

vegetables and fruits negotiation

of price how much are bananas for

sixty dollars a dozen

that’s exorbitant and

tomatoes and papaya

fifty dollars a kilogram for tomatoes

and sixty dollars a kilogram for papaya

your prices are so high last week

i bought these items for a better price

madam what i’ve quoted is the current

market rate

prices have gone up this week because of

less supply coming to the wholesale

market

but then how come the other shopkeeper

is offering a better price

that’s because he often mixes

yesterday’s stock with the new

we sell only fresh vegetables and fruits

i know how much fresh you sell i’ll say

the same thing

but you got to offer me some discount as

i’ll buy my stuff

worth at least 300

i’ll try my best what else do you want

me to weigh

[Music]

so the total is 380 i think you should

charge 340.

no that’s too low give me 360.

the discount of twenty dollars is just

five percent off

not much give me at least 10 percent

sorry madam if i offer such a discount

i’ll hardly make anything

for myself i also have to run my

household

360 is my last offer

okay but i’m not happy

madam you should think of our livelihood

as well
