- 一次商场购物经历
- 1 我想买条新裙子，因为下周要参加一个生日聚会，所以趁午饭时间我去了趟购物中心。购物中心里有很多店铺，包括两家大百货公司，所以我想我一定可以在这里买到自己想要的东西。我找到车位停好车，便从大门走进购物中心，这里正好临近美食广场。
- 2 行，从哪儿开始逛呢？
- 3 我朝其中一家百货公司走去。路上，我看见一家女装店的橱窗里展示着一件漂亮的裙子。我决定进去看看。进去时，一个售货员正在挂衣服。她问道，“您好，需要买什么吗？”
- 4 “我就看看。” 我说道。
- 5 “如果需要什么的话，告诉我一声。” 我向她道了声谢，便开始在店里搜寻。展板上有一些折叠起来的漂亮毛衣，架子上是些裤子。我往店里面走去，找到了刚才在橱窗里看到的那条裙子，而且还打对折。我开始寻找适合我的尺寸，但只有大号和小号，没有中号的。
- 6 售货员正好从我身边经过，我便问道，“还有别的尺寸吗？” 不巧的是，没有中号的。
- 7 “不过，” 她说道，“这有一条中号的裙子，而且也打折的。您要试下吗？” 我说想试下，便跟着她去了试衣间。她说，“我叫谢丽儿。如果需要别的东西，请告诉我一声。” 我试了下那件裙子，非常合适。我也很喜欢这个颜色。
- 8 我把这件裙子拿到收银台。售货员问道，“都买好了吗？” 我告诉她好了，她便开始结账。她告诉我总价，然后问道，“您打算如何付款？”
- 9 我把信用卡交给她，说道，“用万事达卡付款。”
- 10 她刷了下卡，让我在收据上签字。然后给了我一张收据，并把裙子装在袋子里递给我说，“请拿好。希望您喜欢。谢谢光临！”
- 11 我向她道了谢，便离开了。我没想到这次购物竟然这么快。凡事都有第一次。
