Shopkeeper : Sure, we have cards for all occasions- birthdays, weddings, invitations, thank yous, and all sorts of celebrations. They're all kept on the shelves over there.

Flora : Thank you.

Shopkeeper : Take your time. They're all very lovely.

Flora : Does this writing paper have envelopes to go with it?

Shopkeeper : Yes, but they sold out yesterday. The new ones won't arrive until next Monday.

Flora : I see. I'll come back on Monday then....Where do you keep thumbtacks and paper clips? I can't find them.

Shopkeeper : They're on the corner. Anything else?

Flora : I also need a dozen file folders, some carbon paper, one hole puncher, one stapler and one refill for my Parker ball point pen.

Shopkeeper : Come with me. Here are the folders and carbon paper. Here are the hole punchers, staplers,...and here are your refills.

Flora : Thank you.

Shopkeeper : You're welcome. I've never seen you before. Are you new in this town?

Flora : Yes, I moved here last week. I work for a food company at the building next door.

Shopkeeper : Then we'll have a lot of business to do in the future.

Flora : Sure....How much are these, please?

Shopkeeper : That'll be thirteen dollars in all.
