Please check whether my writing for this conversation is correct. This is the link for conversation that I listened to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doUtgowNExU Hi, can I help you? [Hi is just a greeting that he says before the sentence] Yes, I'd like to buy washing machine.[Capitalize the first letter in a sentence always. In English we almost always use "a" or "the" depending if it's a specific thing or a general thing. Since she doesn't know yet which machine she wants, she says "a"] Okay, which brand would you like? [Make sure you always use a comma after a word, then leave a space, then type the next word. You did this in some places but not in others.] I don't care so much about brands. [brands is plural here, but she could also say "I don't care so much about the brand" and it would make sense.] So, what are you looking for? [comma placement] I'm looking for a good price and good functions. [a good price (not a specific one, but any good price) and good functions (more than one good function)] Okay function and price are important to you. That's right! [you missed this part, but it isn't that important] Okay, first may I ask you what size washer do you need? [This was mostly right, you missed "Okay" at the start, but that isn't necessary, I only included it since it was in the conversation] What do you mean by what size washer? Well, like a small size is 4 kilos, a large size 8 kilos. ["a large size"] Do you have a medium size? Sure, medium size is 6 kilos. Okay, I think I want a medium size. [comma] Do you want a one bin or a two bin washer?

How does the function work? Well, you put in your clothes and put in the soap, and the washer does the rest. ["put in" for both places where you had "but". But would be used in sentences like "I want food, but I have no money." It means I would like to get food, although I can't get food, because I have no money to pay for it. To say "put" usually means to place something somewhere. To "put in" means to place the clothes inside the washer, in this case.] Sounds perfect, this is exactly the kind of washing machine I've been looking for. [You missed the end of that sentence. She says "this is exactly..." which means "this specific one that you showed me" here. Saying just "it is exactly" doesn't work, you would need to say at least "it is exactly what I was looking for" in this case.] It probably seems like I made a lot of corrections but I did it to be exactly the same as what was in the video. In real English there are some things you wouldn't have to change as much, but while you are learning it can be helpful. Don't worry too much about it, as the mistakes you made are mostly ones that a native speaker would be able to understand.

You know, if you like things simple and easy may I suggest you the fuzzy logic function? [The term "fuzzy logic function" is probably something that is unique to a specific brand of machines. It is not a regular saying in English but sounds like a particular product feature, which makes it unhelpful for language learners in my opinion. You shouldn't worry too much about missing this, but I would guess it means something about a function (an ability of the washer) that uses some sort of logic in determining how to handle "fuzzy" things. It's hard to describe exactly what fuzzy means to someone unfamiliar with the term, but just know that it's a type of texture, and that some clothes could be described that way. There is also a type of logic specifically called "fuzzy logic" but this is a term for a particular field (in this case Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence) and I doubt that relates to washing machines.] What is the fuzzy logic? [fuzzy logic, physiologic or physiological means having to do with physiology, the study of biology that relates to normal functions of living things.] Fuzzy logic is a special function, it makes using the washer easier. [a special function, because it is not necessarily the only one the washer has, it could be one of many. It "makes" using the washer easier. To "make _______ easier" means to do special things so that something becomes more easy than it originally was. "Mix" is a verb that means to blend or combine (to put things together).]

They clean the same. [You missed the subject "They" for which the verb is "clean" not "cleans". One of the nice things about English is that our verbs don't conjugate much. Aside from irregular verbs, you add an s at the end only for third person singular "he/she/it cleans" and all others use clean "I clean / you clean / we clean / you (plural) clean / they clean"] Really, and do the washers cost the same? [You missed the and here but what you wrote does make perfect sense in English.] Well, the one bin washer is more expensive but it's simple to use. Simple is important, well, I think I'd like the one bin washer. [Simple "is" important. "it's" is short for "it is" and while this is how you would say it in some languages, in English saying simple and then "it" referring to simple is considered redundant, only one is needed. She uses I'd here instead of I would. These mean the same thing, I'd is just a shorter more common version. Also note that she says "the" instead of "a". Between the choice of the two types of washers, the one-bin is the specific one she wants.]

What's the different between one bin and two bin? ["What's" is a contraction or short-form of "What is". Here she is asking "What is the difference..." Also make sure to use differences in this situation. Different is an adjective, so you could say "How are the washers different" but since she is using it as a noun, it must be "What's the difference" or "What are the differences"] Well, with a two-bin washer you have to move the clothes to the spinner yourself. ["with a" here just means "when using a". You also missed "to the spinner" which is just a part of the machine that the clothes have to be moved to. He also says "move the clothes" because it is specific clothes (the ones she would be washing) which she would need to move] And the one bin? Ah, it does it automatically, it's a 2 in 1 spin bin. [The end part of this probably means that the "spinner" she would have to move the clothes to in the two bin is part of the same bin in the one bin washer. I don't know a lot about types of washers but it seems to mean the part she would have to move the clothes to is built in to the regular bin in this machine.] Oh, I understand, which one cleans better? ["better" here, not "petter". Better is used to compare things in terms of how good they are. A better washer would be "more good" (note that saying "more good" in English is wrong) a petter would be someone who pets or strokes something.]
