At a Grocery Store 在杂货店

　　Shop-keeper : Coming, I'm coming....Hi, Sarah. What do you want today?

　　Sarah : Quite a lot. I need one pound of potatoes, three pints² of milk, a dozen brown eggs, two pounds of corn, one pint¹ of olive oil, one pound of cucumber, half a pound of mushroom, and one pound of tomatoes.

　　Shop- keeper : Do you need any fruit? Our fruit is very fresh today.

　　Sarah : How do you sell the lemons?

　　Shop- keeper : Lemons are three for ten cents.

　　Sarah : Are they juicy? I want to use them for juice.

　　Shop-keeper : They are ripe and juicy, so are the watermelon.

　　Sarah : No, I don't want watermelons. They're not in season yet. Just give me a dozen lemons.

　　Shop- keeper : Very well. Anything else?

　　Sarah : I also need a loaf of sliced bread and a pound of coffee.

　　Shop- keeper : What kind of coffee? Drip or instant?

　　Sarah : Give me the coarser grind. We make coffee in a percolator at home.

　　Shop- keeper : All right.

　　Sarah : And a bottle of catsup. Any brand will do....Can you send this order to my house this afternoon?

　　Shop- keeper : Certainly!

　　Sarah : Thanks. How much will that be? I'll give you a cheque now.
