Customer: This is lovely. Isn’t it lovely? What is it exactly?
Shop assistant: It’s a coffee machine.
Customer: Oh, yes. Of course. Is it battery powered?
Shop assistant: No, it’s mains powered. Look, the cable’s here, under the base. If you press this button, the plug appears.
Customer: That’s clever. I love it. It’s perfect for my kitchen at home. I’ll come back later today and buy it.
Shop assistant: Would you like to try a cup before you go?
Customer: I’m sorry?
Shop assistant: A cup of coffee?
Customer: Oh, no thanks. I never drink coffee. Horrible stuff.

Shop assistant: I see you’re looking at the cycling machines.
Customer: Cycling machines? Oh, yes. Yes, they’re very nice, aren’t they? A very unusual design.
Shop assistant: It will look great in your living room. You don’t need to put it away if friends come to visit.
Customer: Yes, I see. Good idea. And it’s got a long handle. Is that for carrying it?
Shop assistant: No, that’s the seat. It’s leather.
Customer: Oh yes, of course. It’s heavy, isn’t it?
Shop assistant: Yes. It’s got a triangular base that’s made of iron. It allows you to cycle very fast without the whole thing shaking.
Customer: And what are these buttons for?
Shop assistant: That’s the computer. If you choose ‘share’ mode, it automatically posts your workout results on Facebook.
Customer: I see. Yes, I really like it. The thing is, I joined a gym recently.
Shop assistant: Oh, right.
Customer:But my son is trying to get fit, and he would use it, I’m sure.
