I have been a vegetarian for almost ten years now. I started this diet way back in high school, as advised by my physician.

Way back in high school, things got out of hand. I was very anxious about everything. I did a lot of stress-eating, which made me overweight.

I see. It is nice that you were able to maintain that. As for me, eating vegetables only is a bit unimaginable. What does your family say about this?
In the community where I grew up, vegetarians are a dime a dozen like most of the time we only have vegetables to eat.

Hi, I am Ron. How about you?
I am Emma. Nice meeting you, Ron.

It is my first time seeing you here, are you newly employed?
Yes, I am. I just started working here last week.

How was your experience so far?
So far so good. I am really feeling well about this company compared to my last one.

How did you say so?
I can see that people who work here are in high spirits. It is new to me as I  never saw such kind of attitude towards work in my previous company.

That is right. I have been working here for the past five years and people here have always been happy with the working environment, the management, and other benefits.
Yes, I am glad to hear that. I was previously employed in a black company. Are you familiar with such?

Not really. Please tell me more about it.
Basically, these are companies who are exploitative of their employees. In my case, we were paid little to no overtime pay. Aside from that, we barely have a social life as we are required to report to the company almost every second.

I see how that can be demotivating for an employee.
Yes. I am very glad I am in this company now.

Answer:
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. Were you able to gather some data for our research about criminality?
Yes, I was. You were right, squatters in the slum area really have a lot to say about the topic.

Okay, that is good. However, you should refrain from using words such as “squatter” and “slum area” in referring to them and their place.
Why is that so?

The terms which you had just used are now considered politically incorrect.
What do you mean by political correctness? I just cannot seem to wrap my head around it.

Based on my understanding, it is a language that is used to give the least amount of offense, especially when describing groups of people.
Why is it important for us to be politically correct?

We have to be politically correct to give little to no offense to the people we are addressing.
What is the politically correct term for squatters and slum areas then?

The politically correct term for “squatters” is “informal settlers,” while for the “slum area,” it should be an “economically deprived area.” With this, we will be able to avoid offending the feelings of these people.
That helped me a lot, Ron. Please tell me more about it next time.

Sure, Emma. For now, let’s call it a night.
