Lesson 97 At the cloakroom
Narrator: Mother and father went to the theatre last night.
Mother left her coat at the cloakroom.
When she went to collect it,
she couldn't find her ticket.
Mother: Excuse me. I left a coat here when I came in,
but I've lost my ticket.
Attendant: If your coat's here, madam, it will be found.
Attendant: What colour is it?
Mother: It's a black woollen coat.
Attendant: There are lots of black coats, I'm afraid. If it were some other colour,
it would be easy to fine.
Attendant: Anything special about it?
Mother: Yes. There's some fur round the collar.
Attendant: All these coats have fur round the collat.
Attendant: Can you see it among these?
Mother: No, I'm afraid I can't.
All these coats look the same to me.
Attendant: What else can you tell me about it?
Mother: There's a dirty kleenex in one of the pockets.
Attendant: Madam, I wouldn't be surprised
if there was a dirty Kleenex in all these coats. |
