打八折: Discounts

You and a friend are in a shopping centre where two sports shops have different deals on the same trainers (original price 600 yuan). Write the dialogue (150–280 characters) in which you compare the offers, work out the final prices aloud and decide what to do.

  • 折 deals said the Chinese way (打八折 = 20% off)
  • 满…减… deals
  • Working out a price aloud (乘以, 减, 一共)
  • Price words such as 特价, 降价 or 免费

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
