Today I went to a store to buy clothes for a party. I saw a red skirt and a blue coat. I asked the shopkeeper, “How much is this set?” He said, “100 yuan.” I tried it on to see if it looked good. My friend said this set looks nice, but that set is even better. I decided to buy this set. At the party, I wore it, and everyone said it looked great.
