It's Saturday morning and Mrs. Smith is going shopping. |
|
|
Mrs S: |
John, I'm going to the shops. Is there anything you want?
|
|
John: |
Yes please! Can you pick up my magazine from the newsagents? |
|
Mrs S: |
Of course. Do you want to come with me? |
|
John: |
No way, I'm going round to Mike's house, sorry. |
|
Mrs S: |
No problem. I'll be about an hour, be home by 5 o'clock at the latest. |

John: |
O.K. I'll see you later. |
|
A bit later...... |
|
|
Mrs S: |
John are you home? |
|
John |
Yes mum, I'm up stairs. |
|
Mrs S: |
Come down here, I bought you a new Nike T-shirt, I want you to try it on. |
|
John |
Nike? Great I'm coming! |
|
A few minutes later..... |
|
|
Mrs S: |
Well, does it fit? |
|
John |
I think it's a bit too small. |
|
Mrs S: |
Let's have a look. Hmmm, I think you've grown again! |
|
John |
I can't wear it though. |
|
Mrs S: |
Do you like it? |
|
John |
Yeah, it's a nice colour. |
|
Mrs S: |
I'll take it back to the supermarket and see if I can change it. |
Mrs Smith had bought a nice new T-shirt for John, but when he tried it on it didn't fit.
|
It's Saturday evening and Mrs Smith has to return the T-shirt.
|
|
|
Mrs S: |
Excuse me, can you help me? |
|
Shop Assistant |
Yes of course, what can I do for you? |
|
Mrs S: |
I bought this T-shirt for my son this afternoon, but it doesn't fit him, it's too small. |
|
Shop Assistant |
Do you want to change it or get a refund. |
|
Mrs S: |
I'd like to change it for a larger size. Do you have these in large? |
|
Shop Assistant |
I'll just check. Let's see, yes we have large or extra large, which would you prefer? |
|
Mrs S: |
I think large will be fine, it's for my son. |
|
Shop Assistant |
That's fine, if it doesn't fit just bring it back again. If you take it to the customer service desk, they'll sort it all out for you. |
|
Mrs S: |
Thank you. Just as a matter of interest do you give refunds? |
|
Shop Assistant |
Yes, of course. You can bring any clothing items back up to three weeks after purchase, but you must keep the reciept. |
|
Mrs S: |
I see, thanks again. |
|
Shop Assistant: |
You're welcome. |
