Lesson 75 Uncomfortable shoes
LADY: Do you have any shoes like these?
SHOP ASSISTANT: What size?
LADY: Black.
SHOP ASSISTANT: I'm sorry. We don't have any.
LADY: But my sister bought this pair last month.
SHOP ASSISTANT: Did she buy them here?
LADY: No, she bought them in the U.S.
SHOP ASSISTANT: We had some shoes like those a month ago,
but we don't have any now.
LADY: Can you get a pair for me, please?
SHOP ASSISTANT: I'm afraid that I can't.
They were in fashion last year and the year before last.
But they're not in fashion this year.
SHOP ASSISTANT: These shoes are in fashion now.
LADY: They look very uncomfortable.
SHOP ASSISTANT: They are very uncomfortable.
But women always wear uncomfortable shoes!
