Choosing a Gift: a Chinese dialogue with translation

Xiao Wang: Next week is my mom's birthday, and I still don't know what to get her.

Anna: What does your mom usually like to do?

Xiao Wang: She likes dancing; she goes to the park to dance every evening.

Anna: Then how about getting her a pair of comfortable shoes?

Xiao Wang: Good idea! But I don't know what size she wears.

Anna: You could call your dad and ask.

Xiao Wang: My dad says she's a size 37.

Anna: Look, how about these red ones?

Xiao Wang: The color's nice, but they're a bit expensive: eight hundred yuan.

Anna: The white ones next to them are cheaper, and they look nice too.

Xiao Wang: White gets dirty easily. I think the red ones are better; my mom really loves red.

Anna: Then get the red ones. If they don't fit, you can come back and exchange them.

Xiao Wang: OK. I'll also buy some flowers. She'll definitely be very happy.

Anna: You're such a good son!
