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

Hi, Emma! Do you like watching horror movies?

Hello, Ron. Absolutely! Most movies on my list on Netflix are horror movies.

Same here! I’m always mulling over the list of horror movies on Netflix!

That’s very relatable, Ron! What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?

For me, the “Insidious” trilogy has by far the most frightening film I’ve watched.

I agree with that. That’s actually on my list, but I prefer to watch
old-school horror movies more. They’re classics!

Really? That’s interesting, Emma. Do you have any recommendations for me to binge-watch?

I love Stanley Rubrick’s “The Shining”! It was a 1980s horror film.
A classic indeed!

I’m now getting more curious! Could you tell me about it?

It is a psychological horror film and an adaptation of Stephen King’s
book. I really love book-to-movie adaptations. I think they are exciting
because you’re watching to see if the movie has given justice to the book.

Makes sense! I’ll add that to my list!

Let’s watch classic horror movies like that some time. There’s a newly
opened movie house in the city.

Sure! Just hit me up the date and time.

Alright. I’ll just text you. See you around, Ron.

See you, Emma!

Have you seen the prototype robot stored in the engineering department?

I am not super sure as to the specifics but the core idea of it is to reduce manpower and to increase productivity.

Really? I think it is good that the company is trying to venture into such.

I think so, too. I really think the robot will be able to increase efficiency here in the plant.

However, they should also be cautious as to the operation and
testing of that prototype as we are still confined with the data
available from other scientific institutes.

I agree. I heard that the team is really working hard in conducting the tests as they want its operation to run smoothly.

If that is the goal, no one should cut corners.

The robot will be really advantageous to the company and us employees as long as it will operate as planned by the management.

I agree with what you just said. Everyone in the team should really
be careful in doing their parts in order to avoid any major problems
with the robot.

Yes. If that happens, they will have to go back to the drawing board and it may even defeat the purpose which the robot is trying to achieve.
