Helen: Paul, what do you think about this camera? It looks quite up-to-date.
Paul: I like it but I’m afraid it’s too expensive for me.
Helen: Your parents have promised to pay for it, haven’t they?
Paul: They’ve given me some money, but it’s not enough. Even if I add the money I earned during holidays, I won’t get the necessary sum.
Helen: Then let’s have a look at some others. What about this one? It’s much cheaper. Besides it’s smaller. It will be more convenient to carry it wherever you go.
Paul: I guess you are right. Let me have a closer look… Just wait, there is a message for me on the mobile. Helen, it’s my uncle. He says that he has bought a camera for me. Just the model I’ve been dreaming about. That will be his present for me.
Helen: Well, the question is solved. Then you can buy something else. What about a notebook? You’ll be able to carry it around and you can take it into college with you, so it would be really useful.
Paul: I don’t really think I need a notebook. I work at home most of the time and I don’t want to take a notebook to college. What I really need is a new printer.
Helen: Haven’t you got one?
Paul: It’s very old and yesterday it got out of order. In fact my parents insisted on me buying a printer, not a camera.
Helen: There are a lot of printers to choose from. This one here is on sale. It doesn’t cost much.
Paul: I suppose not. I think I’ll even have some money left for a new walkman.
Helen: I saw a nice walkman in the shop round the corner.
Paul: Then let’s first choose a printer and then go to that shop.
