L3U2 - Conversation 1

Jen: Hi, honey, I’m at Walmart, but I haven’t found anything yet. I know that Dennis’ birthday party will start soon. I’m going to ask someone for help. Excuse me?

Clerk: Hi! My name is Alex. How can I help you?

Jen: Hello. I’m looking for party decorations. Where are they, please? I’m in a hurry.

Clerk: Sure! Please, follow me.

Jen: Thank you! Do you know where the metallic balloons are?

Clerk: I’m sorry. We haven’t had those since last month.

Jen: Oh, no! My son wanted them for his party.

Clerk: My apologies, but we have just restocked today! There are other types of balloons that are good!

Jen: Okay, just give me some color balloons. I’m short of time.

Clerk: Oh, I haven’t shown you all the colors.

Jen: That’s not necessary. The blue ones will do.

Clerk: Okay, here you are. Anything else that you need?

Jen: Well, yes, I need a tablecloth.

Clerk: Have you tried this plastic one? It’s perfect for kids’ parties.

Jen: No, I haven’t. I’ll take that one. Which is the fastest way to pay for them?

Clerk: I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wait in line for a few minutes.

Jen: Really? I have spent the last 20 minutes here, it’s so late now!

Clerk: Be patient, please. I’ve made you a space in this line.

Jen: Okay, thank you so much.
