我新做的指甲
托妮:丽塔,你看我新做的指甲。你觉得怎么样?
丽塔:哇,很漂亮。你什么时候去修的指甲?
托妮:上周末。那家美甲店提供很多修甲服务。
丽塔:你做的全套服务吗?
托妮: 没有,我只是做了磨光和上色。但是她们告诉我全套服务会使我的指甲看起来更漂亮,而且还有折扣呢。
丽塔:那你为什么没有听她们的建议?
托妮: 我觉得太贵了。一次要80 元。买他们一张10 次的卡,她们会打九折。
丽塔:我也觉得有些贵。她们是怎么给你美甲的?
托妮: 她们先是给我修理指甲,然后让我挑一种指甲油。她们那里有很多种颜色可选。对我来说,选个颜色有点难,所以那个美甲师就帮我选了。
丽塔:哦,这个颜色挺适合你的。
托妮:是呀,我很满意。还有,那个美甲师对人非常和善。
丽塔:下次我去美甲时,你可以把她推荐给我。
托妮:没问题。
