情景模拟对话：

At the Department Store 在百货公司

B：I’d like to see an overcoat for the autumn. Not too heavy and not too light.

A：How do you like this, ma’am？

B：It’s much too light in color for the autumn. I’d rather have something darker, and a bit heavier.

A：What about this then? It’s made of exceptionally [ ik'sepʃənəli ] good quality, pure wool, very soft.

B：Very good. May I try this on?

A：Please come with me to the fitting room.

B：I like this style, but I don’t care for the color. It’s loose at the waist [ weist ], and it’s a bit too large.

A：What about this one? We have this model in several sizes and colors, dark brown, light green, light yellow, crimson [ 'krimzn ].

B：Let me see the crimson one, in my size, please.
