Ashlie: Well, thanks for that Stephen. That was a great lunch.
Stephen: Ah – you’re welcome. My pleasure! Now come on, we’ve got to get a move on.
Ashlie: Oh, wait a minute. They’re nice.
Stephen: Which ones? Those boots?
Ashlie: No, the shoes at the back - the black ones. Let’s go in and have a look.
Stephen: What size are they? Why don’t you try them on and see if they fit?
Ashlie: Excuse me. Can I try these on, please? Have you got them in a size 6?
Shop assistant: Yes, sure.
Ashlie: Thanks.
Ashlie: Oh wait, they’ve got them in green, too. Maybe they’re nicer. What do you think?
Stephen: Why don’t you try them both on?
Ashlie: Sorry, can I try them both on, please? The green and the black in a size 6.
Shop assistant: OK.
Ashlie: Thanks.
Stephen: Let’s sit down. Shoe shops make me tired.
Ashlie: So, which ones do you prefer? Do you prefer the black ones or the green ones?
Stephen: They’re both nice.
Ashlie: But tell me which ones you like the best.
Stephen: Erm... OK then, the green ones.
Ashlie: Well, what’s wrong with the black ones?
Stephen: Nothing’s wrong with the black ones. I said they’re both nice.
Ashlie: I think I prefer the black ones.
Stephen: OK then, if I say I prefer the black ones, can we just buy them and get out of here?
Ashlie: Yeah, I think I’ll get the black ones. Unless you prefer the green ones?
Stephen: Aaaargh! Come on!
Ashlie: OK, I’ll take the black ones please.
.....
Stephen: OK, I’ll see you later, then.
Ashlie: OK, I’m going this way. See you!
.....
Ashlie: Hi there. Wow, such amazing clothes. Oh, this is nice. Can I try this on in a smaller size, please?
Shop assistant: Yes, certainly.
Ashlie: Great, thank you.
Shop assistant: The changing rooms are just over there.
Ashlie: This is wonderful. How much is it?
Shop assistant: That one’s 110 pounds.
Ashlie: It is beautiful but… I’m not sure.
.....
Stephen: Oh my gosh! Ashley!? What happened to you?
Ashlie: Oh, hiya Stephen. Well, I decided to change my image. What do you think?
Stephen: Well, don’t let Mum see you like that - it's her birthday party tonight.
Ashlie: Don't worry, I'll change first. Are you ready for home?
Stephen: Yes, let's get out of here. Everybody’s looking at you!

Hello,
That sounds interesting, I hadn't noticed it. Which episode of Elementary Podcasts are you thinking about?

Yes, hagarenz has right :) it was in Series 02 Episode 01. But nothing wrong with that! Learning foreign language is repeating, isn't it?
Will also Big City Small World be continued?
Hello everybody! Hello Adam! I really feel proud for my country. Actually I think that our victory is a good opportunity for everybody to find out more about my country. I know about different countries of the World, but I have friends abroad who really haven't ever heard about my country. It is a kind of embarrassing to me. So I hope people from other countries will come to my lovely city next year and they 'll know how much we love our guests and friends!
About your own preferences- Moldova is Ok, and everybody is Ok, because I guess,everybody was working really hard and was trying to do their best. So, huge thanks for sharing my feelings!
Adam I would wanted to know something. In my country Albania we speak, talk with each other, during the time we are eating during the meals. What about in your country in Poland how is the culture there. Does the people speak when they are eating?
team
Hello Enkela,
I am not Polish, although I live in Poland. However, from eating with Polish people I would say that they normally talk to each other during meals, as you say happens in Albania.
Best wishes,

Hello Saida,
Congratulations on winning Eurovision! You should be very proud.
Personally, I really like Moldova's entry, but perhaps I have strange taste...
