Part 1に引き続き、店員に買い物を手伝ってもらう際の尋ね方を学びます。マーティンは娘のスーのため小さなラジオを買いに電器店に来ています。

CLERK:

May I help you look at telephones? The telephones and televisions are on sale.

MARTIN:

Can you help me look at televisions please?

CLERK:

What size would you like?

MARTIN:

I want a small television for my wife.

CLERK:

We have some very good ones for small rooms.

MARTIN:

Where are they?

CLERK:

Follow me.

MARTIN:

This one looks nice. It's a good size.

CLERK:

What room is it for?

MARTIN:

It's for my wife's office.

CLERK:

Does she work at home?

MARTIN:

No, she's a lawyer. She doesn't have an office at home. Can I try this one?

CLERK:

Of course.

CLERK:

What does she watch?

MARTIN:

In the office? News.

CLERK:

What do you watch?

MARTIN:

I don't watch television. I'm a radio reporter. I listen to the radio.

CLERK:

That's interesting. Do you report the news?

MARTIN:

No. I write stories about interesting people.

CLERK:

Where do you work?

MARTIN:

I work at the Voice of America. I work in Washington. How much is this?

CLERK:

It's a hundred and fifty-six dollars. But look at this. This also has a radio. Does you wife have a radio in her office?

MARTIN:

I don't know.

CLERK:

Look at this one. All of these are on sale. Excuse me for a minute. I'm going to help that man.

CLERK:

Do you like the radio?

MARTIN:

No, I don't like the sound.

CLERK:

You need something bigger.

MARTIN:

Show me another television.

CLERK:

These are the small ones. Do you want to look at a bigger one?

MARTIN:

OK. Tell me about these.

CLERK:

They're more expensive. This one is two-hundred twenty dollars. This one is the most expensive. It's four-hundred sixteen dollars. It has excellent stereo sound.

MARTIN:

That's too expensive for the office. She doesn't need that for news.

CLERK:

It's good for music and movies.

MARTIN:

I'm going to think about the television. May I look at the telephones?

CLERK:

Sure. We have several kinds. This one is expensive. This one is not.

MARTIN:

How much does this one cost?

CLERK:

It's only fourteen dollars and eighty-nine cents.

MARTIN:

I want this one. Now, can you help me with the radios again. I don't know which one I want.

CLERK:

Did you listen to all of them?

MARTIN:

Yes, I did. I don't want the smallest. And I don't want the expensive one.

CLERK:

Wait a minute. Did you see this?

MARTIN:

No, I didn't.

CLERK:

This is very nice for a girl. What color does she like?

MARTIN:

Blue.

CLERK:

I have this in black, blue, pink, red, and green. Buy the blue one.

MARTIN:

Is it a good radio?

CLERK:

Of course. See. It's the fifty-nine dollar radio. You liked that one.

MARTIN:

Can you show me again?
