M: As we all know, shopping plays a very important role in people’s lives, and it is many people’s favorite activity, especially for women.

M: Is everything ready for Billy’s birthday party?

W: Yes. I finished making the birthday cake and I put everything on the table. Did you find the party hats?

M: Yes, I did. I put one for each child on the table. I put up the big “Happy Birthday” sign, too.

W: Thanks, honey. Do you think we have enough for the kids to eat and drink?

M: I’m sure we do. Here’s enough food to feed an army.

W: That birthday cake looks beautiful, but you haven’t put any candles on it yet.

M: Thanks for reminding me. I’ve prepared some party games for the children, too.

W: Great. I bought a tape with a lot of children’s songs on it.

M: Hopefully, that will keep everyone happy.

M: What a nice garden! Look at these flowers!

W: That would be a good shot. Can you take my picture here, dear? Please try to get the garden in the frame as well.

M: All right. Would you please stand closer to the flowers? Good. Smile. Say cheese. OK, got it. That’s terrific.

W: Thanks. Could you take one more from this angle?

M: No problem… Got it.

W: Now let’s take one together.

M: Do you know how to set it to take a picture of the two of us?

W: Let me see... We just push this button… OK, come here!

M: OK, here I come!

W: Cheese!

M: Did it come out?

W: Yes, but it’s a little dark.

M: Never mind. Let’s go to the falls and try again.

W: OK, let’s go.

Text 8

M: We still have one more day to go before we return home. What do you want to see tomorrow?

W: No idea. We’ve enjoyed both the natural scenery and the city sights. What else is there to see?

M: How about a factory tour?

W: You mean visit a factory?

M: Yes. I heard there’s a large car company nearby that is open to the public every weekend. We can go there to see how a car is made and learn more about the car industry.

W: Good idea! I’ve always been interested in that. How much is the entrance fee?

M: I’m not sure, but as far as I know, most factory tours are free. They are sponsored by the car company providing the tour. www.yggk.net

W: Really? What do the companies do that for?

M: I believe most of them think of it as good public relations. They can promote their products and make their company better known.

W: Oh, I see. So, factory tours are good for companies as well as visitors.

M: Exactly.

W: Do we need to make an appointment in advance?

M: I’ll call the tourist information center to check.

M: Excuse me. How much is this suit?

W: It’s on sale today for $750. It’s normally $900.

M: Wow, that is pretty expensive! I was thinking that it might be four or five hundred.

W: This material is imported from Italy. It’s the finest in the world, and if you bought a suit made of this material at many department stores, you would pay about two thousand dollars.

M: Uh-huh… but isn’t that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides, I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that was too expensive.www.yggk.net

W: It’s possible that the suit you saw was the same color as this one but made of a different material. Unfortunately, our prices are final, and we think they’re the lowest anywhere in the city.

M: Could I try it on first?

W: Of course, sir. The dressing room is down there to your left.

M: Yes, I see it. Could I also take a tie to try on? I’m not actually looking to buy one, but I do want to see how the suit looks on me if I wear a tie.

W: No problem. I’ll have my assistant bring you a few ties that we give our customers for this exact purpose.www.yggk.net

M: Great. I’ll be back in a minute… So, how do I look?
