Robert: Hi Lisa. How are you?
Lisa: Tired! I went to bed at midnight, so I need a coffee!
Robert: Were you writing text messages to your friends again?
Lisa: No! My sister Paula’s written a blog about her trip to Australia. I was reading it. The photos look amazing on my new laptop.
Robert: Really? I need to buy a new computer. Where did you get it?
Lisa: In town. I went to the store on the High Street and I also looked in Green’s Computer Store on Park Avenue but they were very expensive, so I bought it in the little shop on Bridge Street.
Robert: How did you choose it?
Lisa: Well, first of all, I looked at some web pages on my phone. There wasn’t much information on ‘New laptop dot com’ but ‘Buy a computer dot com’ was great.
Robert: If I buy a laptop, I’ll have to take it to university with me every day. Is yours heavy?
Lisa: No, it’s one and a half kilogrammes, but my old one was three kilogrammes. I carried it in my backpack every day. The best ones these days are only one kilogramme!
Robert: Wow! Was the one you bought expensive?
Lisa: Well, the one I really wanted cost £849!
Robert: Really?
Lisa: Yes, but I didn’t get it. The shop assistant also showed me one for £579 but it didn’t have a very big memory. I spent £699 in the end.
Robert: Are you going to use it at university too?
Lisa: Yes, that’s why I bought it. I’m going to need it for my course next year! But first I’m going to help my brother to improve the website for his camera shop. He’s got one, but it’s awful!
Robert: Cool! That sounds interesting!
