At a Menswear Shop 在男装店

　　Mrs. Liu : I'm just looking at these jackets.

　　Shop- assistant : May I know who is it for? Maybe I can give you some suggestions.

　　Mrs. Liu : Sure, it's for my son.

　　Shop- assistant : How old is he?

　　Mrs. Liu : He is eighteen.

　　Shop- assistant : How tall is he?

　　Mrs. Liu : He's about five feet eleven inches tall. He's very strong. I always buy him clothes of larger size.

　　Shop- assistant : I see. How about this one? It's very fashionable¹.

　　Mrs. Liu : No. He prefers simple styles.

　　Shop- assistant : How about this one?

　　Mrs. Liu : The style is all right, but I'm not sure about the color. He looks good in dark colors, but I always think that a young man should wear something lighter²....I don't know. Let me think...

　　Shop- assistant : That's easy. They come in different colors. Here. There is dark blue, green, brown, black, ivory³ white, melon yellow, and sky blue.

　　Mrs. Liu : Well....Can I change it if he doesn't like the color?

　　Shop- assistant : Of course.

　　Mrs. Liu : I think I'll take the dark blue one.

　　Shop- assistant : Very well. That's fifty-nine dollars....Here is your receipt⁴. Thank you, ma'am.
