W:How can I help you?

M:I’d like to return this sweater.I bought it a week ago.

W:Well,first of all,what seems to be the problem?

M:Well,isn’t it obvious by just looking at it? The first time I washed and dried it,the thing shrank at least five sizes.

W:Uh,I see what you mean,but did you follow the washing instructions?

M:How was I supposed to know that? The label is written in Spanish! And the color faded from a nice dark blue to a light green.

W:Sir,we take a lot of pride in our clothing. What I can do is allow you to exchange the sweater for another one.

M:But I just want my money back!

W:Sorry.Since the item you bought was on clearance,we can’t give back your money.

M:A clearance item! Was I supposed to know that?

W:I guess you didn’t read the fine print in our ad.Look. Here’s the ad,and the information about the clearance sale is right here.

M:OK.I’ll exchange it for another one.But you should give credit for your goods next time.

W:Why weren’t you at the German class last night,Tom?Have you given up?

M:Well,no...I came back late yesterday and found John sleeping in the chair.He’d been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again,so we gave the lesson a miss.

W:You’ve missed quite a lot of lessons lately,haven’t you?Are you losing interest?

M:Yes,I’m afraid so.Neither John nor I have a gift for language.People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German.How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily?You’ve hardly been in Germany a month.

W:It was neither quick nor easy.We’d both studied the language before we came,and we only needed to revise it.

M:Anyway,all our friends here speak English very well,so we don’t really need to learn German.

W:Did you go out today?

M:With my bad luck?What good would it have done if I’d gone out?

W:I know how bad you feel,but if you don’t keep on looking,you’ll never get a job.

M：If I’d stayed in Puerto Rico in the first place,I wouldn’t have had so much trouble.

W:What would you have done?There are more people out of work there than there are here.

M:I could have had a farm of my own if I’d stayed there.

W:You?Up the mountains,with nobody to talk to,but the children?

M:I don’t like the city.There are too many people.There’s too much noise,too much dust.

W:I like here.

M:Yes,because your brother’s here.This is really your home.

W:Well,maybe we should go to Puerto Rico for a visit anyway.You could see Andis Nanco.

M:You really mean that?I’d like to see the island again and feel the sunshine and here everyone’s speaking Spanish.
