Which of our products do you like / dislike most?

We like the clothes. Your designs are more interesting than other stores, and the
materials are often better quality.
However, we returned two items last year because there was a problem with the size.
We think your size 'M' is very big. It is, in fact, as big as a 'L' from other shops.

What do you like / dislike most about our catalogue?

I'm satisfied with the catalogue pictures, but I think it would be much better to have a
numeric size chart to describe the letter sizes.
Discuss the following size charts. What do the symbols and abbreviations mean?

1. What do kg and lb represent?

2. What do m and ' " represent?
