Mrs Marsh:    Does this shop sell washing machines?  

Mr Shaw:     Yes. This is the newest washing machine, madam. 

Mrs Marsh:    Is it Swedish?  

Mr Shaw:      No, madam. It’s English. 

Mrs Marsh:    Please show me how it washes.  

Mr Shaw:     Shall I give you a demonstration? Here are some sheets and shirts. You put  them in the machine. You shut the door. And you push this button.  

Mrs Marsh:    The machine shouldn’t shake like that, should it?  

Mr Shaw:      Washing machines always shake, madam. Ah! It’s finished now.    

Mrs Marsh:    But the sheets have [bad word]  and so have the shirts. 

Mr Shaw:     Do you wish to buy this machine, madam? 

Mrs Marsh:    I’m not sure.
