[00:04.70]Lesson 37
[00:08.25]1.Dialogue
[00:12.20]A shop assistant (SA) in a clothes shop is speaking to a customer (C).
[00:18.68]Good morning.Can I help you?
[00:22.83]Yes.I bought this blouse here last week,
[00:27.79]but there seems to be something wrong with it.
[00:31.63]When I washed it, the colours ran.You can see how it is now.
[00:37.07]I can't possibly wear it.
[00:40.59]I would like you to change this blouse,or else give me my money back.
[00:46.05]Let me see.Did you wash it in hot water?
[00:51.12]Of course not. I'm not that foolish.
[00:55.67]It looks as if it hasn't been washed following the instructions.
[01:01.23]Did you leave it in water before you washed it?
[01:05.59]No,I didn't do that either.I just washed it in cold water.
[01:11.24]There seems to be something wrong with it,
[01:15.08]but that's the fault of the company that made it.
[01:19.52]That may be true,but you sold me a blouse that I can't use any more.
[01:25.37]What do you think I should do then?
[01:29.03]I insist that you give me my money back.
[01:33.47]I'm afraid I can't do that right now.The manager isn't here.
[01:39.21]Why can't you do something about it?Can you change it?
[01:44.67]If you want,you can change it for another one.
[01:49.35]Why don't you have a look at the other blouses?
[01:53.79]We've still got lots of them over there.
[01:57.73]OK,I'll have a look.

[02:11.32]2.Reading comprehension
[02:16.07]This dialogue has been written from a short story by Mark Twain,
[02:22.32]the American writer who lived from 1835 to 1910.
[02:29.16]Some of the language and expressions are a little different from modern English.
[02:36.11]The dialogue takes place at a tailor's shop.
[02:40.37]Find the answers to these questions:
[02:45.04]1.What did the customer want?
[02:50.08]2.How did the customer look?
[02:53.92]3.How did the customer want to pay?
[02:59.80]AT THE TAILOR'S SHOP
[03:03.95]There's a customer,Tod.Will you serve him?
[03:08.92]I don't know why he's in a tailor's shop.Just look at his clothes!
[03:14.66]No matter what he's wearing,Tod,just show him the cheapest.
[03:20.70]Do you want anything?
[03:23.86]Yes,please.I want to buy a suit.
[03:28.30]Of course.You may find these rather expensive.
[03:34.18]We've got some cheaper ones in the back room.
[03:38.54]Will you come through to the black,please?...
[03:42.69]Why don't you try this one on?
[03:46.22]Mmm,it doesn't seem to fit very well.
[03:51.26]I'm afraid it's the cheapest one we've got.
[03:55.91]Very well,I'll take it.Could you wait a few days for the money?
[04:01.84]I don't have any small notes on me.
[04:05.71]Oh,you haven't?
[04:09.16]Well,of course,I know that gentlemen like you carry only large notes.
[04:15.92]My friend,you shouldn't judge strangers always by the clothes they wear.
[04:21.85]I'm quite able to pay for this suit.
[04:25.82]I just didn't wish to put you to the trouble of changing a large note.
[04:31.78]Why do you think we can't change your note?Of course we can.
[04:37.63]Oh,very well.Then there is nothing to worry about.I apologize.
[04:44.00]Just a moment and I'll get you your change.
[04:48.76]Goodness me!
[04:52.70]Is anything the matter?
[04:56.36]There isn't any trouble.I'm just waiting hor my change.
[05:01.11]Come,come.Get him his change,Tod.
[05:05.97]Get him his change!It's easy to say,sir;but look at the bill yourself.
[05:12.95]Goodness me!Six zeros!I've never seen anything like this before.
[05:19.79]To sell such a suit as that to a millionaire!Tod's a fool.
[05:26.27]Ah,here's the thing I'm after.
[05:30.40]Please get those things off,sir,and throw them into the fire.
[05:36.14]Do me the favor to put on this shirt,and this suit.
[05:41.00]Ah,it's just the thing,the very thing!
[05:46.28]The trousers are all right;now the jacket;aha,right again!
[05:52.73]Look at that now,sir!perfect - the whole thing!
[05:58.50]Yes,they fit very well.
[06:02.34]Quite right,sir,quite right.
[06:06.60]But wait till you see what we'll make for you to your own measure.
[06:10.68]You can trust us,sir.
