Assistant: You are an expert on it. That wood carving is very rare. But I'm so sorry; that is not for sell.

 

Benjamin: That's OK. Is anything else recommended?

 

Assistant: Do you have any special request?

 

Benjamin: I'd like to see some traditional arts.

 

Assistant: So that means you are shopping for presents?

 

Benjamin: Yes, I'm just here to pick out some special presents for my foreign friends.

 

Assistant: Actually, I think the paper-cuts is OK, because it is easy to carry and foreign friends are also interested in it. They think that is a miracle.

 

Benjamin: Sounds good. I'll take paper-cut.

 

Assistant: I have collected different kinds of paper-cuts all over the country; you can pick the one you like best.

 

Benjamin: You collect them yourself? I think that you are just doing the wholesale.

 

Assistant: As a matter of fact, I open the shop because I'm interested in the arts. I spent lots of time doing research on the folk art of our country.

 

Benjamin: Wow, you are the expert on it.
