Summary

Emma is on holiday in Florence when she notices a small, cozy clothes shop. Her favourite shirt has a stain, so she decides to buy a new one. Inside, she asks the friendly shop assistant for a simple blue shirt. The first shirt he shows her is a medium, but it looks too small, so he finds a large size instead. Emma goes to the fitting room, tries it on and is happy with the colour and the comfortable fit.<br><br>At the counter, the assistant tells her the shirt costs forty‑five euros. Emma thinks it is a bit expensive and asks if there is a cheaper option. There isn’t, but he explains a special offer: if she buys two shirts, she gets a 50% discount on the second. After seeing all the available colours, Emma decides to take a blue shirt and a black one. She pays by card, thanks the assistant and leaves the shop feeling proud—not only because she has new clothes, but because she has handled the whole conversation in a new language.
