Grammar¡RToo, either
¡i©ú³ø±M°T¡jBill and MoMo are looking for some new CDs. What kind of music do they like?
MoMo: Look! Bruno Mars has released a new album! Shall we listen to it?
Bill: I like Bruno Mars too. He is a famous R&B singer. Let's get it.
MoMo: Shall we find some soothing music as well?
Bill: Sure. Dr Panda loves classical music. Do they have Vivaldi's violin pieces?
MoMo: Hmm... Let me see. No... I think the Vivaldi ones are sold out.
They don't have Mozart's either.
Bill: What a pity. Maybe we shall go to the shopping mall near the supermarket. There is a big record outlet.
MoMo: Yes, let's go there. I want to visit the record outlet too.
