1. Am I right that the greengrocer deals with fruit and vegetables?—Yes, but to be more exact, they sell vegetables; andsome fruit we go to the fruiterer's that usually has a good assortment of different kinds of fruit. - I see. Could I buy oranges there?—I think they should be sale now, they are in season. Yes, I remember having seen them in the window while passing at the shop this morning.
2.I couldn't even imagine it would be so difficult to buy a very simple frock summer wear. I dropped in the shop almost every day, I looked on dresses at the rails and could not decide anything, though I can't say I'm very particular about my clothes. The dresses seemed either to be in fashion or too bright for me. Sometimes they didn't have my size at stock.I tried several dresses, though I hale those fitting-rooms—you feel so helpless and miserable there! But I looked like a scarecrow in them. They were either too loose or too tight in hips or on the waist, and needed a lot of taking or letting into I got almost desperate. I couldn't, afford to have a simple dress to every day wear made in measure! And only yesterday I was lucky on long last. When I went in they had just got a new delivery of summer frocks. They had frocks of different shades to choose . I immediately saw a cotton frock at greyish-blue, he colour that is fashion and rather matches to my complexion. Without hesitating I asked the shop-girl to write a bill, rushed to the cash-desk, had my frock wrapped in and ran to home to see how it looked on me. Fortunately it fits me perfectly and they say it suits to me. And it's a bargain that price. I paid only about six roubles of it.
