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

Hey, Emma! There you are!
Ron! I have the most thrilling news!

Really? What is it about?
The high-class club that I have been telling you about has just opened!

That’s great! Let me guess, you want to celebrate your 21st birthday there.
You guessed it right!
Now that I’m no longer underage I can party like there’s no tomorrow! Their opening party also falls on my birthday, so it’s going to be really exciting!

Okay, but you still have to present your identification card.
Of course! So, are you going to come?

Not sure about that. Too much noise and bright lights make me uncomfortable. Also, I’m not a social butterfly; you know that I’m very shy around people.
But it’s my birthday! I won’t take no for an answer!

Alright, alright. You win!
Awesome! I can’t wait to let my hair down and forget all my worries! See you!

Well, it is my first time joining a lunch meeting. I am just worried about not being able to observe proper table manners.

Among the most important table manners are eating with your mouth closed, keeping your elbows off the table, and asking people whenever you have to leave the table.
Thank you for this, Ron. I am really nervous that I will be so focused on my table manners and my presentation will go pear-shaped.
