2. At a cell phone shop
Clark : Good morning. Can I help you?
Sarah : Sure. I’m looking for a cell phone with a camera feature.
Clark : Please this way. I’ll show you...
Sarah : Whoa! Many brands! I don’t know which one is good.
Clark : All is good. The cell phones available help you to choose.
Sarah : Are they expansive? I’m afraid that I can’t afford it.
Clark : How much did you allow for the cell phone you want?
Sarah : I just have Rp. 1.500.000,-
Clark : Oh...if that’s your budget. I suggest that you take this one...
Sarah : Where is it made in?
Clark : Let me check. Hm...it is made in China.
Sarah : But I heard that cellphones made in China is easily broken.

Sarah : What about that one?
