Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.
PART B_2

Good morning, Emma. I’m glad you can make it today.
Me too. I’ve been so busy lately. But if it were up to me, I’d visit
galleries more often. Thanks for inviting me, Ron.

Sure thing. I know how much you appreciate art.
By the way, is there an admission fee?

It’s free of charge for today since it’s the first day of the exhibition.
Great! Let’s get in now then.

Look at this artwork. If you ask me, this piece is undervalued. It has a lot of potentials. I’m pretty sure its value will dramatically increase in a few years.
You seem to have an eye for valuable paintings. Honestly, I can’t really
tell since I only visit art galleries once in a blue moon. But it does look extraordinary to me.

It’s nice to hear that. Let’s go ahead and see more paintings.
Okay, let’s go.
