Dialog Direct & Indirect

Pucca and Nata are roommates. They are looking at advertisements for three different supermarkets. Laguna, Hero and Superfood. They are comparing prices for things they want to buy.

Pucca : What are you doing?

Nata    : Just looking through the newspapers. A lot of things are on sale this week.

Pucca : Let me see. Oh yeah. Let’s compare some prices. Mm… eggs look cheap at Hero.

Nata    : How much are they?

Pucca : They are fifteen thousand per kilogram.

Nata    : Fifteen thousand? Let’s see how much they are at Superfood.

Pucca : Oh, they are really cheaper at Superfood, only thirteen thousand.

Nata    : Thirty thousand? Oh that’s cheap.

Pucca : I said, “thirteen thousand not thirty thousand”.

Nata    : Oh sorry, I didn’t hear well.

 Pucca  : No problem, oh look, ice cream is on sale at Laguna, too.

 Only fourteen thousand and five hundred, it’s perhaps the cheapest.

Nata    : Yes, but we don’t need ice cream do we? Mom said that I must diet, so I can’t eat ice cream.

Pucca  : Yes, me too, so we don’t.

Nata     : Let’s see which one special price for bread.

 Well, oh read, it’s only six thousand at Hero this week. That’s perhaps the cheapest.

Pucca  : Yes, I think so. Ok. Now, what else?

Nata   : How about chicken? There is a good deal at Hero. Only twenty five thousand a kilogram.

Pucca   : Oh, that’s really a good price. It’s twenty six and five hundred at Laguna. But, you know what? It’s even cheaper at Superfood. It’s only six thousand a kilogram.

Nata     : Look, apples are on sale at Superfood and Hero. But I think that’s probably cheaper at Laguna. Only twenty three are seven hundred a kilogram.

Pucca  : Should we go to three of supermarkets?

Nata     : I think so, let’s get our needs on the good prices.

Pucca  : OK. What time should we go shopping?

Nata     : Well. Mmm. Right now.

Pucca  : Sure.
