• Shopping at the Mall
1 I needed a new dress for a birthday party I was attending next
week so I went to the mall during my lunch hour. The mall had a
big variety of stores, including two department stores so I was sure to
find something that was just right. I found a space in the parking structure
and entered the mall through the main entrance. This was right next to the
food court.
2 Okay, where to start?
3 I headed to one of the two department stores. On the way there, I
saw a nice dress in a window display of a women's clothing store. I
decided to go in. As I walked in, I saw a sales clerk hanging some shirts on
a rack. She said, “Hi, can I help you find something?”
4 “Oh, I'm just browsing,” I said.
5 “Okay. Let me know if you need any help.” I said “thanks” to her and started
looking around the store.There were some nice sweaters folded on the shelves
and some pants on the racks. I made my way toward the back of the store
and found the same dress I saw in the window display. And, it was on
sale! It was 50% off. I started looking for my size. There were plenty of smalls
and larges, but no mediums.
6 The sales clerk was walking by just then so I asked her, “Do you have any
other sizes in the back?” But, I was out of luck. This was all they had.
7 “But,” she said, “I have this dress in a medium and it's
been marked down, too. Would you like to try it on?” I said I did
and followed her to the dressing room. She said, “My name is Cheryl. Let me
know if you need anything else.” I tried the dress on and it fit perfectly. I liked the
color, too.
8 I took the dress to the register. The sales clerk asked, “Are you ready?” I told
her I was and she startedringing me up. The clerk told me the total and asked
me, “How would you like to pay for this?”
9 “With my MasterCard,” I said and handed her my credit card.
10 She processed the card and asked me to sign the credit card receipt. She
handed me a copy and a bag with my new dress in it. She said, “There you go. I
hope you like the dress. Thanks for coming in.”
11 I thanked her and left. I couldn't believe I got my shopping done so
quickly. There's a first time for everything.
• 一次商场购物经历
• 1
我想买条新裙子，因为下周要参加一个生日聚会，所以趁午饭时间我去了趟购物中心。购物中心里有很多店铺，包括两家大百货公司，所以我想我一定可以在这里买到自己想要的东西。我找到车位停好车，便从大门走进购物中心，这里正好临近美食广场。
• • 2 行，从哪儿开始逛呢？

3 我朝其中一家百货公司走去。路上，我看见一家女装店的橱窗里展示着一件漂亮的裙子。我决定进去看看。进去时，一个售货员正在挂衣服。她问道，“您好，需要买什么吗？”
• • 4 “我就看看。” 我说道。
• • 5 “如果需要什么的话，告诉我一声。” 我向她道了声谢，便开始在店里搜寻。展板上有一些折叠起来的漂亮毛衣，架子上是些裤子。我往店里面走去，找到了刚才在橱窗里看到的那条裙子，而且还打对折。我开始寻找适合我的尺寸，但只有大号和小号，没有中号的。
• • 6 售货员正好从我身边经过，我便问道，“还有别的尺寸吗？” 不巧的是，没有中号的。
• • 7 “不过，” 她说道，“这有一条中号的裙子，而且也打折的。您要试下吗？”
我说想试下，便跟着她去了试衣间。她说，“我叫谢丽儿。如果需要别的东西，请告诉我一声。” 我试了下那件裙子，非常合适。我也很喜欢这个颜色。
• • 8 我把这件裙子拿到收银台。售货员问道，“都买好了吗？” 我告诉她好了，她便开始结账。她告诉我总价，然后问道，“您打算如何付款？”
•
• 9 我把信用卡交给她，说道，“用万事达卡付款。”
• • 10 她刷了下卡，让我在收据上签字。然后给了我一张收据，并把裙子装在袋子里递给我说，“请拿好。希望您喜欢。谢谢光临！”
• • 11 我向她道了谢，便离开了。我没想到这次购物竟然这么快。凡事都有第一次。
