Ex.22 Read the dialogues.

At the Shoemaker’s

1. - I would like to have these shoes repaired. As you see my heels are worn down.

- Yes, new heels are to be put on.

- Will you repair the shoes while I wait?

- I'm very busy now. You can pick up your shoes tomorrow.

- At what time?

- Any time.

- How much will it cost?

- $6. What's your name, please?

...

- All right. Here's your sales slip. You'll pay tomorrow when getting the shoes.

- Thank you.

2. CUSTOMER. I'd like to have these two pairs of shoes mended, please.

SHOEMAKER. Let me see them, please. This pair can be men­ded, but this pair is beyond repair.

C. Really? Why?

S. They have to be soled, but the soles won't hold.

G. No?

S. No. The inner soles are no good, you see. Besides, they are out of shape altogether.

G. It's a great pity. And these?

S. The heels will have to be tipped—they are worn down a great deal.

C. And what about the soles?

S. They'll stand a good deal of wear yet. Now, this seam will have to be stitched.

C. Then there's a little hole in the left shoe.

S. Yes, here it is. Well, that seems to be all, doesn't it?

C. Yes, but do patch the hole neatly, please. Can you manage to put the patch from the inside?

S. Why, yes! I'll glue it on, so that it won't hurt your toe.

C. Well, and what will it come to all in all?

S. We'll reckon it up now.... roubles, please.

C. Must I pay in advance?

S. According to our regulations you must.

C. Well, here you are. When will you have them mended?

S. In two days’ time. Here is the receipt. Good-bye.

C. Good-bye.
