Gus: Can I help you, ma'am?
Maria: Yes, that would be great.
Gus: How are you doing today, by the way?
Maria: I'm doing fine, thank you.
Gus: I'm glad to hear it. You can call me Gus. It's nice to meet you.
Maria: Nice to make your acquaintance, Gus. I'm Maria.
Gus: Is there something I can show you? I'd be happy to help, Maria.
Maria: Yes, I was looking to buy a piano.
Gus: What kind of piano were you thinking of getting?
Maria: There are different kinds? I actually just decided to take up the piano
today.
Gus: That's great! The piano is beautiful instrument to learn how to play. Let me take you to the piano section.
Maria: That would be great. Thank you.
(Maria follows Gus to the pianos and keyboards.)
Gus: As a beginner, I would recommend buying a keyboard to get you started. They're smaller and lighter, much less expensive, and don't require as much care as regular pianos do.
Maria: That sounds like a good idea. Can you show me the keyboards that you
carry?
Gus: Of course. We have all the well-known brands with different pricings.
Maria: I think I'll take this one. It's not too expansive, and it looks nice.
Gus: That's actually our most popular keyboard because it's so affordable. It's perfect for a beginner. I highly recommend it.
Maria: I'm sold. Do you also carry any piano books to help me learn how to play it?
Gus: But of course. I'll throw in a good one for free with your purchase.
Maria: Thank you so much. You have been so helpful, Gus.
Gus: You're welcome. Let's go ring you up at that front register.
(Maria follows Gus to the register, hands him her credit card, and purchases her new keyboard.)
Gus: Thanks, again. Enjoy your new hobby, Maria.
