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

Hey, Emma. Do you have a moment? Something is bothering me, and it’s keeping me awake at night.
What is it, Ron? I’m all ears.

I have a presentation in a few weeks. But, I haven’t finalized anything. I keep going back to where I started. It feels like I’ve run out of good ideas.
Oh, I see. You must be having a tough time. Well, I think that you
shouldn’t force yourself. If you think about it with an open mind, I’m sure
fresh ideas will come to you naturally.

You’re right. But I have limited time, Emma. I need to think fast and even work on it until late so that I can finish it as quickly as possible.
Oh, no. Depriving yourself of a good night sleep will only add fuel to the
fire. Your brain needs to refresh, and that’s how you get new ideas.

I don’t know what to do now. I’m just so frustrated right now.
Just look on the bright side, Ron. It’ll turn out just fine. You don’t stress
yourself so much about it.

But this presentation has a lot of impact on my grades. Just thinking about it stresses me already.
I agree up to a point, but the purpose of that presentation is for us to
learn new skills, right? Take it easy, and enjoy the learning process!

Well, jogging in the morning has become a habit for me. Also, it’s no
secret that a healthy diet gives us more energy. By the way, it’s good
that you’re back on track. Keep it up!

Thanks, Emma. Well, I guess I have to add jogging to my daily to-do list so that it won’t slip my mind.
Way to go! I couldn’t be happier that both of us are working toward a
healthy lifestyle.

I guess pigging out on pizza is now a thing of the past.
You’re right. Low carbohydrates and plant-based food items are a better
option if we want to stay fit and avoid any illnesses.

Good morning, Emma! It’s nice to see you here in the park.
Oh, hi, Ron! I’m here to teach my dog some tricks. How about you? Is
your dog with you?

Yes, Curly is still in the car because I forgot to bring her leash.
I see. Well, I actually have a spare leash. I make sure to put Theo’s
leash and a spare one in my bag the night before. That’s one less thing
to worry about when I get ready in the morning. Here you go. You can put it on her.

Thanks, Emma. I like how you’re always ready. So, how often do you train Theo?
I do it at least three times a week. It may take up some time now, but
come to think of it, it will surely pay off later on.

I think so. It’s also a good way to bond with your pet. I’m sure your dog will trust you more easily if you do it that often.
You should train Curly too! I know it’s not your thing, but I’m certain that
you’ll get a kick out of it.

Alright, but I don’t know where to start.
You can find tutorial videos online. And when you’re ready, just give it
your best shot! And you don’t have to force your pet to learn the tricks. If
Curly learns the tricks, then that’s just the icing on the cake!

pricey. How much did you get it for?

Well, I had to shell out $60 dollars for this cool thing. But don’t tell my mom, I don’t want to be in hot water.
You can’t be serious! That’s daylight robbery!

It’s alright. I paid it with my salary from my part-time job.
Okay, but yeah, I don’t think your mom will be happy about that.

It’s going to be the latest addition to my collection. And looking at my collection is my way of relieving stress after a long day. It may be pricey, but it’s totally worth it.
I think I know where you’re coming from.

But I know that I should set my priorities straight. I mean, I don’t want to be broke.

America is a country where equality between women and men is important. American women officially launched their fight for equal rights in 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It wasn’t until 1920 that women in America were granted a legal right to vote in civic elections. The famous Nineteenth Amendment gave them this right. More and more women are joining the labor market in America. These days, roughly 65% of American workers are women. However, on average, male workers in America still make about 22% more money than their female counterparts. It seems that the road to full gender equality in America is a long one.

healthy people who are physically active have greater cognitive
capacity at work.

You know, I am always in awe when I see tall buildings around
when I commute on foot. After a few weeks, the change is
