the conversation interesting.
· I’m going to talk about an
interesting conversation that I had a couple of weeks ago in a music shop. I
was walking along one of the main shopping streets in the city centre, when a
large window displaying all sorts of musical instruments caught my eye. Out of
curiosity, I decided to go in and have a look around.
· The person I ended up
speaking to was a shop assistant on the second floor, in the area of the shop
dedicated to acoustic guitars. I hadn’t intended to speak to anyone, but the
assistant approached me in a friendly way and asked whether I had any
questions.
· I explained to the
assistant that I hadn’t played the guitar for years, but that I wondered what
the differences were between the various acoustic guitars on show. He talked to
me about the different makes and models, whether they were factory or hand
made, the woods and varnishes used, the variation in sound quality, and of
course the price range.
