At the Shop
You are in a small shop in Boston. You buy a notebook and a pen, ask the price, and pay. · A1 · Role-Play
How to practice: first listen to the whole dialogue. Then play BOTH roles out loud — or take one role and answer the other from memory. When it flows, record the full dialogue below.
A Hello! Can I help you?
B Yes, please. I need a notebook.
A Here is a notebook. Do you need a pen too?
B Yes, a pen, please.
A This pen is blue. Is that okay?
B Yes, great. How much is it?
A The notebook is five dollars. The pen is two dollars.
B Here is ten dollars.
A Thank you. Here is your change: three dollars.
B Thank you! Goodbye.
The full dialogue with real voices. Listen first, then take your role.
Record yourself, play it back, and compare with the model. Recordings stay in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Your task
Record yourself playing both parts: A (the seller) and B (the customer). Then play B again and buy two different things.
Coach tips
- “How much is it?” is the key question — say it slowly.
- Say “please” and “thank you” in every line. It sounds friendly.
- Count the money out loud: five, two, ten, three.
