Customer: Thanks, you too!

On the phone with a friend:

Friend 1: Hey, how’s it going?

Friend 2: Good, thanks. How about you?

Friend 1: I’m doing well. What have you been up to lately?

Friend 2: Not much, just working and trying to get some exercise in. How about you?

Friend 1: Same here. I’ve also been trying to learn a new language in my free time.

Friend 2: That’s great! What language are you learning?

Friend 1: Spanish. I’ve always wanted to travel to Spain, and I think it will come in handy.

Friend 2: Definitely. Good luck with that!

At a grocery store:

Customer: Excuse me, do you have any avocados that are ripe yet?

At a restaurant:

Waiter: Of course. And would you like to see a menu or do you know what you’d like to order?

Diner: I’ll take a look at the menu. Thank you.

Waiter: No problem. Let me know if you need anything else.

At a doctor’s office:

Receptionist: Good morning, how may I assist you today?

Patient: Thank you.

At a clothing store:

Customer: Excuse me, do you have this shirt in a size large?

Salesperson: Let me check. (checks the stock) Yes, we have a few in the back. Would you like me to get one for you?

Customer: Yes, please. That would be great.

Salesperson: No problem. I’ll be right back. (returns with the shirt) Here you go. Let me know if you need anything else.

conversation between a traveler and a customs officer:

Customs Officer: Good day, sir/madam. May I please see your declaration form and passport?

Traveler: Of course. Here they are. (hands over the documents)

Customs Officer: (reviewing the declaration form) It says here that you have some items to declare. Could you tell me more about what you have with you?

Traveler: Yes, I have some souvenirs that I purchased for my family and friends back home, as well as some gifts for my colleagues at the conference.

Customs Officer: (nodding) I understand. May I take a look at your luggage, please?

Traveler: Of course. (opens the luggage for the officer to inspect)

Customs Officer: (inspecting the contents of the luggage) Thank you. Everything appears to be in order. You are free to proceed.

Traveler: Thank you, officer. Have a good day.

Customs Officer: You’re welcome, sir/madam. Have a safe trip.

here’s a more sophisticated version of the conversation:

Customs Officer: Good afternoon, sir/madam. I trust that your journey was uneventful?

Traveler: Yes, it was quite smooth, thank you.

Customs Officer: Excellent. May I kindly request to see your declaration form and passport, if you please?

Traveler: Of course. Here they are. (hands over the documents)

Customs Officer: (scrutinizing the declaration form) I see that you have indicated some items that you would like to declare. Could you be so kind as to elaborate on the nature of these items?

Traveler: Yes, I have procured some souvenirs for my loved ones back home, as well as some gifts for my colleagues who will be attending the conference with me. I believe it is important to bring a touch of the local culture to my friends and family, and I always like to extend my gratitude to my coworkers in the form of token gifts.

Customs Officer: (nodding with approval) A noble sentiment, sir/madam. May I have a look at your luggage now, please?

Traveler: Of course. (opens the luggage for inspection)

Customs Officer: (inspecting the contents of the luggage) Thank you, sir/madam. Everything seems to be in good order. You are now cleared to proceed.

Traveler: Thank you, officer. Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day ahead.

Customs Officer: The pleasure was mine, sir/madam. I hope you have a productive and enjoyable stay in our country. Have a safe journey.
