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
you can find a shirt for casual wear on
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
