M: Mandy C: Carl
Carl is at a toy store with Mandy, an exchange student from abroad.
M: Wow! There are so many cool toys here.
C: Yeah, I used to get toys from this store when I was little. My favorite was the slingshot.
M: Sounds like you were a little troublemaker. I really like the marbles and the spinning tops.
C: Are there stores like this in your country?
M: Of course! My friends and I had yo-yos just like this one.
C: Cool. I was never good at those. Yo-yos definitely take some skill and practice to master.
