Dialouge
(Situation Sheila and Majid are discussing the
meaning of beauty)
Majid : “ Hi,
Sheila ! many happy returns of the day.”
Seila :
“Why, thank you majid for remembering my birthday.”
Majid :” Well,
how many candles are you going to blow today?”
Seila : “Five
big ones.”
Majid : “ Unbelievable.
You look at least 10 years younger. Tell me, what is your secret?”
Seila : “ Actually,
nothing much. But Ii do belive that beauty is not skin deep.”
Majid :” That’s absolutely true. Beauty comes from inside and
the outside as well.”
Seila :” I think
we need to have a good personality besides taking care of our physical
well-being.”
Majid : “That’s for sure.”
Seila :”
that’s why I like to keep an open mind.”
Majid :” I
couldn’n agree with you more.”
Seila :” As
for personal grooming, I go to the spa, the hair salon and the beauty parlour
regularly. It’s monet well spent.”
Majid : “ From the way you look now, I totally agree.”

Bargaining or Haggle
Bargaining or haggling is a type of
negotiation in which the buyer and seller of a good or service dispute the
price which will be paid and the exact nature of the transaction that will take
place, and eventually come to an agreement.
Bargaining is an alternative pricing
strategy to fixed prices. Optimally, if it costs the retailer nothing to engage
and allow bargaining, he can divine the buyer’s willingness to spend. It allows
for capturing more consumer surplus as it allows price discrimination, a
process whereby a seller can charge a higher price to one buyer who is more
eager (by being richer or more desperate). Haggling has largely disappeared in
parts of the world where the cost to haggle exceeds the gain to retailers for
most common retail items. However, for expensive goods sold to uninformed
buyers such as automobiles, bargaining can remain commonplace.
Answer the following questions
orally :
o
Do you like to go shopping?
o
Where do you usually go shopping?
o
When do you usually go to shopping?
o
What do you usually buy?
o
How do you pay for the purchase?
o
Do you ever use a credit card?
Now, practice expressions used in bargaining
/ shopping :
o
Is there any discount?
o
What about Rp. 50.000,- for each
book?
o
Can you make it for $ 1 ?
o
What about 20% off?
o
How about Rp. 10.000,- per kilogram?
o
Etc.
