Read the fol­lo­wing text. Bold words are trans­la­ted below.

As custo­mers, it seems we fall into three di­s­tinct ca­te­go­ries: lo­ca­tors, ex­plo­rers, and drea­mers. Na­than Watts, from re­tail de­sign agen­cy Fitch, ex­plains the sub­t­ly dif­fe­rent ways, we be­ha­ve when we shop.

So­me­times a shop­per will be sim­ply lo­ca­ting. They'll want to go and find a pro­duct that they know that they want, and they know ex­act­ly which pro­duct they want. 
Often their mind state may be that the custo­mer is thin­king more as an ex­plo­rer. They want to ex­plo­re the range. They know they maybe want to find a pro­duct in a cer­tain ca­te­go­ry, but they don't know which one. 
And oc­ca­si­o­nal­ly, a custo­mer is in a drea­ming mind state. For the drea­mer, we re­al­ly need to try and in­spi­re them to sel­ect or choo­se so­me­thing that they don't even know that they need. So for a din­ner party, we can help to try and in­spi­re the custo­mer to ac­tu­al­ly con­sider a des­sert for that din­ner party. And the­re­fo­re, in the dis­plays, we're re­al­ly try­ing to in­spi­re people and get them thin­king about things they hadn't thought about.

Read the dif­fe­rent state­ments and match them with one of the three ca­te­go­ries of custo­mers.

I'm loo­king for some pasta and pesto and a soft drink.

I want pasta and pesto from Ba­ril­la and a diet coke.
