    Read, practice and rewrite a dialogue between a seamstress and a customer!
    Do a role play!

    This is example of English conversation at the Tailor’s:

    TAILOR: What can I do for you, sir?


    CUSTOMER: I want a woollen suit made.
    TAILOR: Would you like to buy the cloth from us, sir?
    CUSTOMER: No. I’ve brought the suit-length with me. Here it is.
    TAILOR: All right May I take your measurements, sir?
    CUSTOMER: Yes. I’d like a tight-fitting suit.
    TAILOR: Right, sir.
    CUSTOMER: Now, how long will it take you to get the suit ready?
    TAILOR: About three weeks, I think. It takes longer at this time of the year because of the holiday
    rush, you know.
    CUSTOMER: That’ll be all right, but I’d like to have it before the end of the month.
    TAILOR: All right, sir. Would you prefer one inside pocket in the jacket, or two?
    CUSTOMER: I want three. Two on the left and one on the right.
    TAILOR: And would you also like a hip-pocket in your trousers, sir?
    CUSTOMER: No, not really. But I prefer a ticket pocket
    TAILOR: Very well, sir. Will you call in for a fitting next Tuesday?
    CUSTOMER: I’d rather come on Wednesday. Oh dear! I haven’t asked you about your charges at all.
    TAILOR: Don’t worry, sir. Our prices are competitive, and here’s the price list, sir.
    CUSTOMER: Seven hundred seventy-seven rupees for making a suit! I think I’ll go elsewhere.
    TAILOR: I’ll recommend FITWELL across the street, sir. Goodbye, sir!
