Shirley: Can I have my check, please.

Clerk: Here it is. 350 Yuan all together.

Shirley: May son adores my new hairstyle so I suppose it is worth it.

Clerk: Hearing you say that is a big reward for us. And here is the receipt.

Shirley: Thank you.

Clerk: Wait! Congratulations! You are the lucky customer of our anniversary celebration.

Shirley: Wow, it's surprising. So what do I get?

Clerk: You can have a free facial and then make up free for you. Do you want it now?

Shirley: Probably not. Doing that will probably take another three hours which I can't afford now.

Clerk: Here is our number. Call us when you are ready to com.

Shirley: You mean I should make an appointment ahead of time?

Clerk: Yes.

Shirley: Got it. Bye for now.

店员：你这么说是给我们最好的回报。这是收据。

雪莉：谢谢。

店员：稍等。祝贺你，你被选中为我们周年庆的幸运顾客。

雪莉：哇，真是惊喜啊。那我能得到什么呢？

店员：你可以得到一次免费的美容和免费的化妆。你想现在就做吗？

雪莉：不了。做这个很有可能又要三个小时，我没有时间了。

店员：这是我们的练习电话。等你想做的时候请给我们打个电话。

雪莉：你是说我需要提前预约吗？

店员：是的。

雪莉：知道了。再见。

Clerk: People are willing to pay to be beautiful. They would think if others adore their new hairstyle then it's worth whatever it costs. Nowadays facials are becoming more and more popular among girls so sometimes you have to call to make an appointment for that.
