What do you think of my new sweater?
Well, it looks nice, but why don't you put it on, and then I'll tell you if it suits you?
Okay. You know, I tried on about twenty at the shop, and this one isn't really what I wanted. I especially can't stand the high neck.
Why did you buy it then?
The salesman sold it to me before I realized what had happened. He just never stopped talking about the latest fashions and special reduced prices. Before I could say anything he'd wrapped it up and I realized that I'd paid him.
Well, it doesn't look too bad. I think it looks good on you.
But I went out to get a blue sweater to match my black trousers-something with a V-neck, short sleeves and pattern-and I came home with a brown sweater with a high neck, long sleeves and no pattern.
You've got to learn to stand up to these high-pressure salesmen. They will sell you all sorts of things you don't want if you don't watch out.
Next time I'll send my wife. She would probably sell something to the salesman.
That's a good idea. Actually women are much better at shopping than men. Whenever my husband and I buy something important, I always have the finalsay.
