A woman in jeans stood at the window of an expensive shop. Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress was sold. The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day. She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After seeking out the rude assistant, she asked for the same dress. Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time. With great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it. She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.

一位穿牛仔裤的女子站在一家高档商店的橱窗前。她犹豫了一会儿，终于进店，想看看橱窗里的那条连衣裙。 接待她的店员不喜欢她的穿着，轻蔑地瞥了她一眼，告诉她裙子已经卖了。 女子生气地离开，决定第二天回来教训一下这个店员。 第二天早上，她穿着皮草大衣，一手提着包，一手拿着长伞，再次来到店里，找到那个无礼的店员，仍然要看同一条裙子。 店员没认出她，这回格外殷勤，费了好大劲才爬进橱窗取出裙子。 可她一看就说不喜欢。她故意让店员把橱窗里的东西几乎都搬来给她看，最后才买下最初要的那条裙子，心里十分痛快。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《您要买什么，夫人？》：便装女子想看裙子 → 店员以貌取人 → 决定教训店员 → 换了装扮再次进店 → 态度忽然大变 → 让他忙个够。再借一个结构讲自己的事：找出本课被打破的预期，再用同样关系说自己的一个经历。
