LESSON 32
brand, make, mark


Interviewer: How easy is it to buy a Persian carpet?

Expert: Well, not so easy. If you want to buy a shirt, you simply look at the collar to see which brand or make it is. If you want to buy a car, the make is always easy to see. In fact, today many makes and brands are international and well known. Now, if you want to buy a Persian carpet, there are no makes or brands to help you judge the quality.

Interviewer: So what advice can you give me?

Expert: Because Persian carpets are all handmade, you have to look and see if they are made of wool or silk. Also make sure there are no dirty marks, like oil stains, as this will reduce the value.
