Assistant:        Do you like this dress, madam?

Lady:             I like the colour very much. It’s a lovely dress, but it’s too small for me.

Assistant:        What about this one? It’s a lovely dress. It’s very smart.

                     Short skirts are in fashion now. Would you like to try it?

Lady:             All right.

Lady:             I’m afraid this green dress is too small for me as well.

It’s smaller than the blue one.

Lady:             I don’t like the colour either.

It doesn’t suit me at all. I think the blue dress is prettier.

Lady:             Could you show me another blue dress?
                     I want a dress like that one, but it must be my size.

Assistant:        I’m afraid I haven’t got a larger dress. This is the largest dress in the shop.
