Ellen: Excuse me, where are the dresses?

Assistant: They’re at the end of this aisle. on the left. Can I help you with anything?

Ellen: Yes, maybe. I’m not from around here, so I don’t know this store.

Assistant: Well, I can help you with anything you need.

Ellen: Fantastic. I’m actually down here for my brother’s wedding, and I need something to wear. I’ve just started a new job and I haven’t had time to get anything yet. I’m looking for something smart. Maybe a new dress.

Assistant: Well what about this one?

Ellen: I think it’s too hot for long sleeves.

Assistant: Yes, well, this one has shorter sleeves, and it still has the bow, which I think is a nice detail. Or there’s this patterned one?

Ellen: I’m not keen on a pattern. I think I’ll go for the one with the bow. Do you have it in a size 10?

Assistant: Let me have a look Yes, here.

Ellen: Great! I need a hat, and then I can try them on together.

Assistant: What kind of hat are you looking for?

Ellen: What about this one with the flower?

Assistant: Yes, but if I may suggest, a taller hat would add to your height.

Ellen: Really?

Assistant: Yes, try this one.

Ellen: I see what you mean!

Assistant: We have this style with the single flower, or with a small bunch. And it comes with a wide or narrow brim.

Ellen: I like the narrow brim and just the one flower. Hmm, can I have a blue flower?

Assistant: I’m afraid it just comes in cream.

Ellen: Well it goes with the dress, anyway.

Assistant: Great. I’ll place an order and have the hat sent to you. It’ll take about two days to be delivered. Is that OK?

Ellen: Yes, that’s fine.

Assistant: I need to take down a few details for delivery. Can I take your name?

Ellen: Ellen Barker.

Assistant: And the delivery address?

Ellen: It’ll be my brother’s address. It’s ‘I5 no I4 Brightwell Avenue.

Assistant: 14 … Can you spell that, please?

Assistant: And can I take a contact number?

Assistant: 03221 7775.
