Vic is talking about his experiences shopping in America.

— Well, Vic, did you go shopping? A new experience, isn't it?

— Shopping is really fascinating in America. During the first week I didn't buy much. Only some groceries.

— Did you go to the supermarket?

— Yes, and at first I thought shopping was easy.

— And then?

— When I brought my shopping basket to the cashier and he rang it up for me, I was embarrassed.

— Was the total greater than you expected?

— You guessed it! I had studied all the price tags and counted the total...

— But it was different?

— It was. Because of the sales tax.

— Did the cashier explain it to you?

— Yes, he did. But it was really embarrassing.

— I rarely shop myself. But I like to give advice.

— It's not so easy for me since I do not have much money to spend.

— Oh, you can buy almost the same goods at different prices.

— It's confusing... I wish I knew why the prices are different.

— What are you thinking of buying?

— Uh, some gifts for my friends.

— And a PC for yourself?

— Yes, and a cheap video recorder.

— In that case, pay attention to which stores are having sales. Go early and maybe you'll find a bargain.

— Thanks, Rich. You are very helpful.

— Which do you prefer, tea or coffee? — Which of the two pictures do you like better? — Would you like to dine out tonight? — What would you rather do on Sunday go for а drive; visit some museum, or what?

— Tea for me, please. And I prefer coffee. — I guess I like the bright one better. — No, I'd prefer to stay in. I'm tired. — I'd rather stay in town and do some shopping if any of the larger stores are open.

– Would you like more tea? I think you should visit the Science Museum. – You aren't going to reproach the man for his error? – You should sign the paper. We may change it later if you want.

– No, thank you. – No, thank you, I do to. – No, certainly not. – I refuse to.

– They expect you to make a report before the Board of Directors. – I'm sure you can make a report better than anyone. – Maybe you'll change your mind?

– Why should I? There are six of us, and I'm not the leader. – Oh no! – Never!

***

– Would you like some tea? – Maybe a cup of coffee? – Why don't you have some apples? – You aren't depressed or anything? – Are you homesick?

— No, thank you. — No, thank. — Thank you, I don't want to. I don't want anything. — No, certainly not. — Well, maybe I am.

– Would you like to go the Robinsons' with us? – They would love to have you. Do come with us. – Are you angry with me? – Tell me the reason why you don't want to go. – You must tell me the reason. – And if I promise to keep your secret, will you tell me?

– No, thank you. – No, thank you, I don't want to. – No, certainly not. – I refuse to. Don't take offence but I won't go. – Why should I? It's quite personal. – Oh no! Never!
