Shop Assistant: Can I help you? Mother: I'd like to buy a light summer frock for my daughter. Shop Assistant (addressing Jane, a slim fifteen-years old girl): What size d'you wear? Jane: I don't know exactly. 24 or 26 maybe. Can you measure me? Shop Assistant (measures the girl): You're 24" waist. What d'you think of this pale-blue one, made of silk. It's the latest fashion. Jane: I don't think so. The frock is not bad, but it's slightly out-of-fashion. Besides, the cut is not perfect, the skirt is too long, the collar looks awful and so do the sleeves. And I don't quite like the colour. Will you please show me another dress. I'd like to have a look at this pink one. Shop Assistant: Just a moment! Well, here you are. The size is yours. Jane: Thank you greatly. Can I try it on? Shop Assistant: Certainly, you can. This way, please. (In the fitting-room Jane puts the dress on and looks at the mirror.Then she asks her mother to come in and have a look at her.) Jane: What d'you think, Mum? Isn't it terribly pretty? The cut is fantastic, the colour is raving. Mother: I'd rather say fabulous! Besides, it's a bit loose on you to my mind. You look incredibly thin as though you're dying of hunger. Jane: Mum?! Shop Assistant: Oh, please, don't say so. It fits her perfectly. Take my advice and buy it. Mother: How much does it cost? Shop Assistant: $150. Mother: It isn't very cheap, is it? Shop Assistant: But the dress is from the last fashion collection. Don't you want your daughter look smart? Mother: Do you really think so? Well, where is the cash desk? Shop Assistant: This way, please. Good luck.
My favorite holiday is Halloween. I dream to attend this festival. Halloween is always celebrated on 31 October. On that night, many people will look like frightening creatures such as vampires or ghosts. They do this with the help of special clothing and face paint. On the night of Halloween, American children wear masks and other clothing. They go from house to house shouting "Trick or Treat!" If the people in the houses do not give them a treat, kids can make fun of them. Some adults wear costumes and attend Halloween parties. They also decorate their homes. They can clean the interior of the pumpkin and cut out funny faces on the surface. Then they put a candle inside. Some hang fake bats, spider webs and other things around the house.
