Koolchat No.6 Buying an Iphone
Tips for buying an iPhone
Mark: Tip #1 – Which phone do you want?
(5s / 6 / 6+ / 6s / 6s+)
Jackie: I want the 6s+
Mark: Don’t say… ‘want’ or ‘give me’.
I would like the da da da iPhone.
Mark: No, replace ‘da da da’ with the phone you want
Mark: Tip #2 – Choose your colour?
There are 4 colours to choose from
Jackie: err!!
Mark: No, we should say: ‘excuse me’, ‘pardon’ or ‘I’m sorry’.
Jackie: I’m sorry, how many colours are there?
Mark: 4 colour! Silver, Gold, Space Gray, and Rose Gold.
Which do you think will be popular?
Jackie: Chinese people like gold, maybe Rose Gold.
Mark: You do know that’s Pink?
Jackie: Pink!!, you said Rose Gold.
Mark: I know but it sure looks pink to me.
Jackie: Maybe, I’ll give that to the wife.
Mark: Tip #3 – Capacity
Jackie: Oh, easy. I want to buy in Hangzhou city.
Mark: Haha… no not the city the ‘ca-pa-ci-ty’. The storage size, capacity.
Jackie capacity.
Mark: They make 3 storage sizes, called ‘Gigabytes’ but we usually
say ‘gigs’.
Repeat – 16 gigs, 64 gigs & 128 gigs.
Jackie: So how many gigs do I need?
Mark: I know you like movies and you like to keep Koolchat with you all the time, I’d get 64 gigs.
Mark: Tip #4 – Take a seat
Jackie: Does it come with a free seat, an Apple seat?
Mark: No, think about it.
Jackie: Oh, it will be very busy. I’ll need to wait?
Mark: No.
Jackie: I have to sit down while they teach me how to use it?
Mark: Maybe, but no.
Jackie: What then?
Mark: If you don’t sit down, you’ll fall down when you hear the price.
Mark: Tip #5 – How will you pay?
Jackie: I thought you were paying. My birthday is coming.
Mark: err… no.
Jackie: I guess I’ll buy my own birthday gift.
Mark: The sales staff always ask: “How would you like to pay?”
What will you say?
Jackie: I want to pay with a card.
Mark: Remember we change the word ‘want’ to ‘would like’.
You could say UnionPay or credit card.
Jackie: I would like to pay with Mark’s credit card.
Mark: Let’s put it together in a dialogue for our English learners
Mark: Can I help you?
Jackie: Yes, I would like the 6s+ iPhone, please.
Mark: Sure, which colour would you like?
Jackie: I would like the rose gold one, it’s for my wife.
Mark: ..and what capacity would you like?
Jackie: 64 gigs please.
Mark: Please take a seat; I’ll just be a moment.
Pause
Mark: Here you are. How would you like to pay?
Jackie: I would like to pay by Union Pay.
Mark: No problem.
