Dialogue A
Shop Assistant（A）：You've made a good choice. This china tea set is unusual. It was made in Jingdezhen. There are few others like it.
Mrs Bell：It is extremely beautiful. This is the very thing I've been dreaming of.
Mr Bell：Jingdezhen？Oh I know it. Isn't it called“the capital of porcelain”？
A：Yes，sir. Is there anything else you want，sir and madam？
Mr bell：（Points to a set of blue and white porcelain tableware）It's of perfect Chinese traditional design，isn't it？
A：Yes，indeed. It is the best quality porcelain-the famous egg－shell china. It is not for use，but for show. It is also made in Jingdezhen.
Mr Bell：Oh，it must be most precious. Can I have a look？
A：Yes，sir. It is known to be“as white as jade and as thinas paper”
Mr Bell：No wonder it's so expensive. I'll take it.
A：Shall I wrap them together or separately？
Mrs Bell：Separately，please. What do they come to in round figures？
A：Altogether 356 yuan.
Mrs Bell：Here is 360 yuan.
Shop Assistant：（Counting money）Sir，there are thirty notes of ten yuan and six notes of five yuan so it is 330 yuan in all. Would you please check it，sir？
Mr Bell：I'm awfully sorry. I've made a mistake. I took five for ten. Here's another thirty yuan.
