SALESMAN: Can I help you?
JOHN: Yes, I would like to buy a Walkman. Can you tell me about the models you have?
SALESMAN: Well, we have a lot of models here.
Did you want to listen to CD's or cassettes or the radio?
JOHN: Mostly cassette tapes.
SALESMAN: Alright. There are several models you may want to look at.
This Kregg portable cassette player is very good.
JOHN: Kregg? I've never heard of that company.
SALESMAN: It's a German company.
This unit has auto-reverse, recording capability, and an AM/FM radio band.
It also has a built-in microphone.
JOHN: I suppose I don't want that one then. I don't like auto-reverse. It breaks too easily.
SALESMAN: Really? Have you had an auto-reverse break before?
JOHN: Yes, twice now. I think it's too high-tech, and so it's the first part that breaks.
SALESMAN: Hmm. You know, the problem might be dust. Did you clean the unit often?
JOHN: Well. No, I didn't clean it.
But still, I only had the last one two months, and it broke. I don't trust auto-reverse.
SALESMAN: Alright. Well. We have many units without auto-reverse.
Here is a good unit. Very reliable.
It has an AM/FM band, built-in microphone, recording capability, and no auto-reverse.
JOHN: How much is it?
SALESMAN: This one sells for $39.99.
JOHN: Can I test it out?
SALESMAN: Of course.
JOHN: It sounds great. I'll take it.
SALESMAN: Fine. I think you'll be happy with it. It's a very good unit. Very reliable.
I'll go get you a new one in a box. I will be back in just a moment.
JOHN: Thanks.
