Dialogue
(Jean has just moved into a new house. Her neighbour, Liz, has come over to welcome her.)
Jean: I am very glad to see you here.
Liz: How do you like the new place?
Jean: It's marvelous. I am sure we are going to love living here.
Liz: Well, have a look, here it's a shopping guide for the neighbourhood and a booklet of discount coupons. New neighbours always receive them. There is one coupon for every store in the shopping guide.
Jean: Oh, thank you. It's come in time. I have a lot of shopping to do.
Liz: I can imagine, having just moved in. Not far from here there's a very good shopping center. You can also find a huge supermarket, a drugstore, some department stores in the neighbourhood.
Jean: Great. Are there any small stores nearby?
Liz: Oh, yes. The map is right here in the shopping guide. There is a little drugstore a few blocks away, a little grocery store next to it, a little boutique, an ice cream parlor, a pizza place. You can find a plant store not far from here too.
Jean: Are there any good discount houses nearby? We terribly need a new toaster. Everybody in my family likes toasts for breakfasts very much. I'd like to buy it.
Liz: Oh, sure. There is a good discount store in the shopping center. If you like, I'll come with you.
Jean: Oh, you needn't. I don't want to trouble you.
Liz: No trouble at all. I'd like to do some shopping too. If we go to the discount center I can go to that little cheese shop. I don't want to bother you.
Jean: It's no bother at all. Make out your shopping list and I'll be your guide. By the way, you can use your discount coupon for the toaster.
Liz: I am sure you'll buy a good one.
Jean: Well, it'll take some time to make a shopping list. I'll have to buy a lot at the grocer's.
Liz: This is a good idea. I should have gone shopping yesterday, so I'll make up my list too.
Jean: By the way, I like your dress very much. It's a perfect fit. Where did you buy it, if you don't mind my asking?
Liz: Thank you for compliment. I got it at a very nice little boutique. It's a bit expensive, but there are many interesting and original things. If you are interested we can stop there.
Jean: I'm afraid I can't. I have to cook dinner.
Liz: Oh, don't trouble yourself with the dinner. Look over the coupons I've given you. You can go out to dinner at a discount store.
