1. Buying Fruit in a Traditional Market
Angela, an American, is looking through a market stall's fruit selection.
A=Angela P=Passerby
A: (To vendor, slowly) Do you have green grapes? (The vendor motions with her hands that she can't speak English and backs away.)
P: Actually, it seems this vendor doesn't have green grapes. You could check one of the other stalls in the market if you want.
A: No, that's all right.
P: (Holding up a dragon fruit) Have you ever had this before? It's a dragon fruit.
A: Never. What does it taste like?
P: It has a light taste and is not overly sweet. It's also got crunchy little seeds like a kiwi.
A: Maybe I'll try one. It certainly has a fitting name. It looks like a dragon egg from a fantasy movie.
2. Discussing Local Fruit Varieties
A passerby is introducing some local fruits to Angela.
A=Angela P=Passerby
P: (Hands Angela a dragon fruit) This one's ripe. Has anything else caught your eye? How about a durian?
A: No, thanks. I'm not feeling quite so bold. What about that?
P: That's a sugar apple.
A: It kind of looks like a guava crossed with a pineapple.
P: It does. You should get some. It tastes a bit like custard.
A: All right. I think I'm ready to pay. Thanks for your help.
P: Not at all.
