Buying clothes

Man: May I help you?
Woman: Yes, please. I’m looking for a jumper.
M: The jumpers are there on those shelves near the shop window behind the counter. What size do you wear?
W: Size 38.
M: We have quite a large selection in that size. What colour would you like?
W: Red. Maybe green.
M: What do you think of this green one with the stripes? Or that red one with the starry pattern?
W: They look great. Especially this red one. Can I try it on?
M: Of course!
W: Yes, it fits. How much does it cost?
M: £45.
W: That’s expensive.
M: That’s right, it’s not cheap. But the quality is really excellent. It’s definitely worth the price.
W: Well, I think I’ll take it then.
M: How about something else? Would you like to look around the shop?
W: Well, I also need a blouse.
M: How much should it cost, approximately?
W: Well, maybe around £30-40.
M: And what colour would you like?
W: White.
M: How about trying on this one? But that’s a size 40.
W: Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit. But I think it looks very nice and it has beautiful material.
M: Why don’t you come back next week? Maybe we will get a size 38 by then.
W: Thank you very much! I will certainly come back and hope to buy it. Where should I pay for the jumper?
M: There’s the cash register! Goodbye!
