You are at a beauty salon, trying to explain to your hairdresser how you want your hair done.
A: What can I do for you today?
B: I'd like you to style and blow dry my hair.
A: Would you be interested in a perm or colour?
B: I'd like a perm, but not a colour, thanks.
A: Do you want your hair cut short?
B: I'd like to have it trimmed just a little, about an inch. Please make it curlier than last time.
A: That's fine. Would you like to have it shorter at the back?
B: No, I want it slightly longer at the back and I'd like to part it on the left side rather than in the middle.
A: I'll make a note of that. My assistant will give you a shampoo first. I'll be back to trim your hair as soon as you're ready.
你在一美容院內,向你的髮型師解釋怎樣替你理髮。
甲:今天我有什麼可以為你效勞呢?
乙:我想你替我設計一個髮型和吹干頭髮。
甲:你想電髮還是染髮呢?
乙:我想電髮,但不要染髮。
甲:你想不想將頭髮剪短呢?
乙:我想剪短一點點,大概一英寸。請比上次電曲一點。
甲:好的,你想一想後面剪短一點呢?
乙:不想,我想後面稍長一點,另外我想在左邊分界而不在中間分。
甲:我會記這一點的。我的助手會先替你洗頭。當你一切已妥當後,我會立即回來替你剪髮。
