Exercise 6

Listen to Helen in the market and complete the sentences in the Function File with words from the list.

Morning. Can I help you?

No thanks, I'm just looking. Excuse me? Er, how much is this scarf, please?

It's twenty pounds.

Can I have a look at it, please?

Sure.

Mm, they're quite pretty,and they're silk. But they aren't very good quality.

Good quality silk, I mean. I'll give you ten pounds.

I'm sorry. Those scarfs are worth at least twenty pounds each.

They're very nice, I agree. But they're not really worth more than twelve pounds. Come on, you're not selling much today. And anyway, I haven't got much more money on me

I'll take seventeen.

OK, one last offer. Fifteen pounds.That's fair.

Sixteen pounds, cash. And that's it.

OK, I'll take two.

Exercise 7 Listen to the first part of the dialogue again. The underlined expressions have a rising intonation. This sounds polite.
