DialogueLearn how to talk about choosing furniture for your house.

How can I help you?

I want to know if I should get a high

back bed or a low back one.

I need to buy a new bed. Since

you’re a good interior designer, I want

to hear your opinion.

Okay. What do you want to know?

Well, the back wall of your bedroom

is plain, so I think you should go

with a high back bed.

Liza

Won’t it look overdone?

Definitely not. The other furniture in

your room is straight and light so

it will fit right in.Thank you for your advice.
