Ashlie: Come on then Stephen, get up - let’s get going.
Stephen: Right, give me a minute. This is heavy.
Ashlie: I hope you’ve remembered everything. You’ve got your walking boots, haven’t you?
Stephen: Er yes, I’m wearing them. They’re brand new and they’re already starting to rub.
Ashlie: We’ve come to Loch Ness in Scotland. We’re going on a walking tour of the Highlands. It is such a beautiful place to explore.
Stephen: Thousands of people come here every year and try and take a photo of Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. Fingers crossed Ashlie, let’s hope we get lucky!
Ashlie: Oh, come on Stephen you know that’s only a story. We’re here for the walking. Come on then, let’s get going.
......
Ashlie: Fancy a break, Stephen? Shall we take a look around the Visitors’ Centre?
Stephen: Boring! I thought we were here to go walking.
Ashlie: It won’t take long. And, you never know, you might learn something.
......
Stephen: See Ash, I told you we’d find the Loch Ness Monster.
Ashlie: Ha ha - mmm… very first sighting seventh century… lives in the loch. Possibly related to some species of reptile…oh honestly.
Stephen: Wow, I bet it’s true, look at all these photos. I really think we should try and find it. Come on Ash, it’ll be fun.
Ashlie: Oh Stephen, it’s a waste of time. People made these photos. They’re not real.
Stephen: That’s ridiculous. Look at all these reports. It’s got to be true.
Ashlie: There isn’t really a monster living in the Loch. You’ll believe anything. If I saw a real photo of this monster, then I’d believe it.
Stephen: I bet if someone took a photo of the monster, they’d make loads of money. I really want to find the Monster, but first I need to find a shop that sells socks. My feet are killing me.
Ashlie: OK then. Let’s head into town and get you some socks.
......
Ashlie: Oh wait a minute, Stephen. This looks interesting. I want to go in and take a proper look.
Stephen: That’s just tourist stuff. I want to go and get those socks! I’ll call you when I’m done.
Ashlie: OK, I’ll see you later.
......
Ashlie: These are amazing. Excuse me, how many different tartans are there?
Shop Assistant: At the last count, there were over three thousand tartans with new ones being designed every day.
Ashlie: This one’s nice. What’s this one called?
Shop Assistant: That’s the Royal Stewart tartan belonging to the Stewart Clan. Every clan has its own tartan; the MacKenzies, the Frasers, the Gordons and many, many more.
Ashlie: What about my surname, Walker?
Shop Assistant: Walker, yes, it’s a very popular Scottish name. We’ve got it in mugs, ribbons and even a kilt.
Ashlie: No way - a Walker tartan kilt!
Shop Assistant: We’ve also got it in a book here where you can learn about your clan history.
Ashlie: Maybe I should get my brother a kilt. No, on second thoughts, he’d probably kill me! I’ll just take the book, thanks.
......
Ashlie: Hiya Stephen, I’m all done here. Did you manage to buy some new socks?
Stephen: Sort of. I’ll come back to the shop. I’ll see you in a second.
Ashlie: OK.
Shop Assistant: that’s two pounds fifty, please
Ashlie: Great – thank you. There’s five.
Shop Assistant: Thank you, and two pounds fifty change, thank you.
Ashlie: Thank you very much.
Ashlie: Stephen!
Stephen: What do you reckon?
Ashlie: It suits you!

Hello Jeremy,
" What do you reckon?", " It suits you!" what do these phrase mean exactly?

Hello Shavin!
Don't forget that we have a dictionary on our site! Both reckon and suit are verbs. If you use the dictionary, you'll see that reckon means think, and suit means something looks good or is right for you. You can see more information in the dictionary definitions.
