Yang: Now you’ve seen our samples, what do you think of them?

Jones: I should say the quality and finish are all right. Nevertheless they are not exactly what I want.

Yang: Is there anything wrong with them? Let me know your opinions frankly. I’ll be only too anxious to have them.

Jones: Well, for one thing, I don’t think I like the color. Besides, the design is a little out of date.

Yang: That can be adjusted very easily. Just tell me the color and design your have mind. I’ll change them  accordingly. Believe me, we can make them to make quite clear.

Yang: What is it?

Jones: When can I expect delivery? Is it possible for you to ship the goods in May?

Yang: If you place your order with us in a week or so, I can delivery the goods in

May. But then, you will certainly have to advise us of your opinions on the improvement of the products as soon as possible.

Jones: There will be no problem. Another thing. Could I have discount if my order is a large one?

Yang: I can hardly give you an answer right now. It all depends on how large your

     Order is.

Jones: Right. We’ll leave this problem for some other time. At the moment I’ll get in touch with my customers right away and let you know their responses immediately.
