Welcome to Duty Free Shopping Center? May I help you?

Sales clerk: Good morning, welcome to Duty Free Shopping Center? May I help you?
Traveler: Yes please, I want to look at these perfumes: ‘Paris Jardin Romantiques’ by Yves saint
Laurent and ‘Summer’ by Jean Paul Gaultier?
Sales clerk: Here you are Sir. These are really one of our best sellers. Best buy, Sir!
Traveler: Oh, smells really just fi ne. The sweetness and fragrance is just fi ne for me. I’ve given
some of these to my siblings before, and they love it.
Sales clerk: That’s right, Sir. Many clients say that too.
Traveler: How much do these perfumes cost?
Sales clerk: This Paris Jardin Romantiques by Yves Saint Laurent is worth $ 58.00 before, but
now, since it’s on sale, it’s only for $ 51.00. This ‘Summer’ scent by Jean Paul Gaultier is
worth $ 65.00 before, but now, you can buy it for only $ 54.00. Are you paying Cash or via
Credit Card?
Traveler: It will be cash. Credit cards charge high interests.
Sales clerk: Well, I can’t say anything about that since it’s your own point of view. Every custom-
er has his or her own payment preference in purchasing for goods. Anyway, you can pay those
at that counter. I can lead you there, Sir. Please follow me.
Traveler: Thanks, I think you’re clever for a sales clerk. Here, take my calling card, if you wish
to change your career, give me a call. Hope to see you again.
Sales clerk: Thank you. I’ll think about it, Sir. This is a surprising and irresistible offer that I
won’t like to miss. Take care, Sir. I hope to see you again, one of these days.

1. Do you find it more reasonable to shop at duty free or not?

Sample answer:
That usually depends on the circumstance. If I don’t have much time to go out for shopping, I’ll
just drop by at Duty Free along the airport to avoid the rush.

2. Do you love to buy your wine at Duty Free?

Sample answer:
Yes, I do, but I only buy red and white wine because I believe it is healthy for our
body.

3. Do you think that credit cards are really user/shopper friendly especially if
you are at Duty Free since almost everything is on sale?
