Emma needed new clothes for the summer. She decided to go shopping on Saturday. She went to the big shopping center in the city. There were many clothing stores inside. First, she went into a women's fashion store. A sales assistant came to help her. Hello! Are you looking for something special? Yes, I need a summer dress. We have many beautiful dresses. What size do you wear? I wear size medium. What color would you like? I prefer blue or green. Here are some options. Would you like to try them on? Yes, please. Where is the fitting room? The fitting rooms are at the back of the store. Emma took three dresses to try on. The first dress was too tight. The second dress was too long. The third dress was perfect. It was a beautiful blue dress with white flowers. She looked at the price tag. It cost forty-five euros. That was a good price. She decided to buy it. Then she looked for a pair of sandals. She found some nice brown sandals. What size are these sandals? They are size thirty-eight. Can I try them on? Of course. Please sit down. Emma tried on the sandals. They were comfortable and fit well. How much are these? They are thirty euros. I will take them. Emma continued walking through the mall. She saw a sale sign in another store. Fifty percent off on all t-shirts! She went inside to look. She found a nice white t-shirt. The original price was twenty euros. With the discount, it was only ten euros. She bought the t-shirt too. Finally, she needed a new bag. She found a small leather bag in a shop window. She went inside and asked about it. Excuse me, how much is the brown bag in the window? That bag is fifty-five euros. That was more than she wanted to spend. Do you have anything cheaper? Yes, we have this similar bag for thirty euros. Emma looked at the cheaper bag. It was nice but not as beautiful as the first one. She decided to think about it. In the end, she paid for the dress, sandals, and t-shirt. The total was eighty-five euros. She paid with her credit card. Would you like a receipt? Yes, please. Here you go. Thank you for shopping with us! Emma was happy with her new summer clothes. She went home feeling satisfied with her purchases.
