A：Good afternoon， sir. May I help you？

B：Yes. I'd like to buy a white shirt.

A：Yes，sir. I'd be glad to show you some. What size，please？

B：Large.

A：Here's one in your size. This is a very fine shirt.

B：How much is it？

A：These are fifty-nine each.

B：That's a little more than I want to pay. Don't you have any less expensive shirts？

A：Yes，I think I can find some for you. Here are some forforty yuan，and then we have some here for thirty-five.

B：Thirty-five will be all right. I'll take this one.

A：Are you sure one will be enough？

B：Yes， that's all I need just now.

A：Do you need anything else？

B：I'd also like to see the tie in the showcase

A：Which one， sir？

B：The green one.

A：This one？

B：Yes， that one. Is it pure¹ silk？

A：Yes，sir，pure silk and hand-made.

B：How much it is？

A：Twenty yuan，sir.

B：I'm afraid it doesn't fit me very well. Have you got any other ones？

A：How about this one？ It's ten yuan.

B：The price is all right， but it's a bit showy， isn't it？

A：Oh，I don't think so，sir. I think it becomes you.

B：Then I'll take it.

A：Thank you， sir. Will you wait a moment please？ I'll have it wrapped².
