　　Mrs. Liu: No. He prefers simple styles.

　　Shop - assistant: How about this one?

　　Mrs. Liu: The style is all right, but I'm not sure about the color. He looks good in dark colors. but I always think that a young man should wear something lighter...I don't know. Let me think...

　　Shop- assistant: That's easy. They come in different colors. Here. There is dark blue, green, brown, black, ivory white, melon yellow, and sky blue.

　　Mrs. Liu: Well...Can I change it if he doesn't like the color?
