Dialogue: At the electronics store
Tom: Hi, Lan. What are you looking for?
Lan: I'm looking for a new laptop. My old one is too slow.
Tom: I see. What do you use it for mostly?
Lan: I need it for online classes, watching movies, and some light work.
Tom: I suggest looking at this model. It has a fast processor and long battery life.
Lan: That sounds good. But I'm on a budget.
Tom: No worries. I recommend choosing a mid-range laptop. They offer good value for money.
Lan: Thanks. What do you think about this one?
Tom: It's great. I advise buying it now because there's a discount this week.
Lan: Really? How much is the discount?
Tom: 20% off. I suggest (that) you should decide quickly before it ends.
Lan: OK, I'll take it! Thanks for your advice.
