文化注意事項:

- 在百貨公司和一般商店,價格通常是固定的
- 在一些亞洲和中東國家,議價更普遍且被期待
- 議價時要保持禮貌 - 說"please"和"thank you"
價格表達:
- 10% off = 打9折
- Half price = 半價/5折
- Buy one get one free (BOGO) = 買一送一
- Clearance sale = 清倉大拍賣
今日反思 (Daily Reflection)
收穫重點: 購物和議價需要特定的詞彙和文化意識。雖然議價並非到處都適用,但知道如何禮貌地議價、詢問折扣,以及處理退換貨,對於自信地用英語購物是必要的。記得保留收據並了解商店的退貨政策!
