Bargaining at a flea-market

Vendor : Hello, Madam, What can I do for you today?


Customer : (picking up a beautiful hand-painted plate) This is quite lovely. Where was it
made?
Vendor : Oh, I see you have excellent taste. Yes, that is beautiful, isn't it? It's local pottery.
I think it was painted here by a local artist.
Customer : It's really something... do you have anything else by this artist?
Vendor : Well, I'm not really sure who exactly painted which pieces of pottery, but here
are some similar pieces.
Customer : No, they're really not the same.
Vendor : Well, how about these here? I had them brought in just this morning.
Customer : Yes, those are quite nice. What about the prices?
Vendor : Obviously, it depends on what you would like to buy. That plate that you were
first looking at costs $50.
Customer : $50! That's quite expensive. I can't afford that.
Vendor : Remember these are hand painted pieces of pottery, that kind of handicraft
work doesn't come cheaply.
Customer : Yes, I understand that. But I really think that $50 is just too much.
Vendor : Listen, I can see that you are in love with that plate. Let's just make it $45. I'd
really like you to take that home with you.
Customer : How about $35. I really can't go any higher than that.
Vendor : I really can't, I mean that would be selling at cost.
Customer : Well, $38 is absolutely the most I can spend.
Vendor : All right. I really shouldn't. The artist is going to have me put out of business for
selling his wares at such low prices.
Customer : Come, come. Let's not exaggerate.
Vendor : You're a clever one, aren't you?
Customer : I'm just someone who pays close attention to what I spend.
Vendor : There's no shame in that. Here you are. (Hands the plate to the customer)
Customer : Thank you very much.

Answer with complete sentences. (20 marks)

Going camping is the best fun in the world if we know how to do it. Every
healthy boy and girl if given an opportunity should enjoy living outdoors for a week
or two. There is more to camping however than "roughing it" or seeing how much
hardship we can bear. A good camper always makes himself as comfortable as he
can under the circumstances. The saying that "an army travels on its stomach"
means that a soldier cannot make long marches or fight hard unless he has good
food. The surest sign of a "tenderfoot" is the boy who makes fun of you because
you try to have a soft dry bed while he prefers to sleep on the ground under the
mistaken idea that it is manly or brave. He will usually spoil a trip in the woods for
everyone in the party.
Another poor kind of a camper pitches his tent so that his bed gets wet and
his food spoiled on the first rainy day, and then sits around cold and hungry trying
hard to think that he is having fun, to keep from getting homesick. This kind of a boy
"locks the door after the horse is stolen." If we go camping we must know how to
prevent the unpleasant things from happening. We must always be ready for wind
and rain, heat and cold. A camping party should make their plans a long time ahead
in order to get their equipment ready. Careful lists should be made of what we think
we shall need. After we are out in the woods, there will be no chance to run around
the corner to the grocer's to get what we have forgotten. If it is forgotten, we must
simply make the best of it and not allow it to spoil our trip
