PART B_1
Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.
PART B_2
What’s up, Emma?
|
Hey, Ron! I’m currently packing my stuff.
I’m heading to my parents’ home for vacation. |
That’s great. Will your siblings be there too?
|
They’re away for college. It’s exam season.
|
I see. Well, what’s your family like when you’re all together?
|
Hmm. We’re very tight-knit. We tell each other everything.
We usually play games and watch movies. How about you? What’s your family like? |
I stay with my grandparents. I’m the breadwinner and I don’t mind, not one bit.
I enjoy providing our family’s needs. |
Wow, you are a dutiful grandson.
I am, on the other hand, the black sheep of the family. |
Really, why do you say that?
|
Well, I didn’t excel in academics when I was in school.
Both my parents and my siblings are quite intelligent. I’m musically inclined so I guess I understand music more than any other concept. |
Whatever interest or skill you have, I’m sure your family is going to love you. You are their flesh and blood.
|
I guess you’re right!
|
Well then, have a lovely vacation.
|
Thank you!
