Tapescript:

Buying A Recorder (1＇28〃)

Maria goes to buy a cassette recorder. The shop assistant shows her two machines, a Toyo and a Smith.

M: Which is better do you think? The Toyo or the Smith?
A: Well, the Toyo is a little bit cheaper but the Smith's a bit bigger.

M: Which one sounds better?
A: The Toyo's got a sharper tone than the Smith.

M: I think I prefer one with a smoother tone.
A: The Smith's louder, of course, if you want a loud machine.

M: Yes, I might want something louder for certain kinds of music.
A: The Smith's certainly got a bigger speaker.

M: Which is easier to carry?
A: The Smith's a bit heavier than the Toyo. Then again the Toyo is handier in some ways. You can take the lid off.

M: Oh dear. One is bigger, the other is cheaper; one's louder, the other's smaller and something else. I'm getting more and more confused.
A: Which one do you prefer the look of?

M: Well, the Toyo's got a nicer shape. But I like the colour of the Smith better. No. It's hopeless. I'll just have to leave it for the moment, if you don't mind.
A: Not at all, Miss. It's better to be sure than sorry. Wait till you ate more certain.
