Shirley: Can I have my check, please.

Clerk: Here it is. 350 Yuan all together.

Shirley: May son adores my new hairstyle so I suppose it is worth it.

Clerk: Hearing you say that is a big reward for us. And here is the receipt.

Shirley: Thank you.

Clerk: Wait! Congratulations! You are the lucky customer of our anniversary celebration.

Shirley: Wow, it's surprising. So what do I get?

Clerk: You can have a free facial and then make up free for you. Do you want it now?

Shirley: Probably not. Doing that will probably take another three hours which I can't afford now.

Clerk: Here is our number. Call us when you are ready to com.

Shirley: You mean I should make an appointment ahead of time?

Clerk: Yes.

Shirley: Got it. Bye for now.

雪莉：謝謝。

店員：稍等。祝賀你，你被選中為我們周年慶的幸運(yùn)顧客。

雪莉：哇，真是驚喜啊。那我能得到什么呢？

店員：你可以得到一次免費(fèi)的美容和免費(fèi)的化妝。你想現(xiàn)在就做嗎？

雪莉：不了。做這個很有可能又要三個小時，我沒有時間了。

店員：這是我們的練習(xí)電話。等你想做的時候請給我們打個電話。

雪莉：你是說我需要提前預(yù)約嗎？

店員：是的。

雪莉：知道了。再見。
