A - Oh, J’adore cette casquette rouge. Qu’est-ce que tu en penses ?
B - Non, je ne l’aime pas du tout ! Elle est moche. Je préfère la noire, mais tu n’as pas besoin de casquette. Tu as déjà une dizaine de chapeaux ! Tu as besoin d’une ceinture. Regarde, celle-ci est super belle !
A - Ah, oui, c’est vrai. D’accord, je vais acheter la ceinture.
Translation:
A - Oh I love this red cap. What do you think of it?
B - No, I don’t like it at all! It’s ugly. I prefer the black one, but you don’t need a cap. You have about a dozen hats! You need a belt. Look, this one is lovely!
A - Ah yes, that’s true. Ok, I’m going to buy the belt.
