I'd like to put an ad in the newspaper, please?
A classified ad?
Yes, I want to sell my furniture. I'm moving.
I see. May I have your name, please?
Bill Marten.
And your address?
The garden apartment on Books Road.
Well, the price depends on the size not on the words. So if you want to use shorter words, that might save you some money.
Oh, that's a good idea. I have everything written out here, but I'll just check it over before I give it to you. Maybe I should use phrases instead of sentences.
Would you like to pay cash or by credit card?
I'll probably be gone before a bill could be sent. I'm going to pay cash.
OK, you can use that table. Just bring it back to me when you are ready.
