Has anyone in your Learning Circle ever been to a shopping centre? This time, Samina wants to buy a dress for Deeqa’s daughter, but she can’t find the right colour or size. We look at some useful phrases for talking about our favourite things and asking for different colours and sizes in shops.
Buying a dress
Samina wants to buy a dress, but she can’t find the right colour or size. With your group, discuss the questions and try the activity.
Samina
Hello Deeqa.
Deeqa
Hello Samina. Can you come to Miski’s party tomorrow? She’s going to be three years old.
Samina
Yes, of course. I’ll buy her a gift. Maybe a dress.
Deeqa
That’s very kind of you.
Samina
No, no. What is her favourite colour?
Deeqa
Red. She loves red.
Samina
OK. I’ll buy her a red dress.
Discuss these questions with your group:
- What should Samina do?
