ScriptA conversation at a clothing store between a

customer and a sales representative.

* Excuse me?- Yes, how can I help you?* I am looking for a shirt, it´s for work.- No problem, you need the men´s formal wear department. Please follow me.* Thanks- OK, what type of shirt are you looking for?* It´s for an informal meeting, so I don´t need to wear a tie.- Do you have a preference on colour?* Not really, I´m going to wear black trousers, so it should match any colour.- This is from the new spring collection, it´s a very nice shade of blue.* OK, it looks nice. Does it come in my size?- Let me just check, you look like a 16.5inch neck size so this one should be fine.* Can I try it on, just to be sure.- Yes, there is a changing room just behind the trouser section.* Thanks, Oh before I forget, I am also looking for a pair of shoes.- Is it for the same occasion, do they need to match the trousers.* Yes, the trousers that I have are not very formal like a suit, but they are smart casual.- OK, please follow me.* Thank you.- These are also new, they are casual but I think that they will be fine with what you will be wearing.
