Hi, I am Ron. How about you?

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.

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.

Hi, Emma. Can I borrow your cellphone?
Sure, here you go.

Thank you! I left mine at home while charging. Now, I have to check on my youngest brother left alone at home.
That is too bad that you left your cellphone. These days, the cellphone is among the essentials of a person. Most, if not all people, never go out of their house without a cellphone.

Yes, I agree with you. Especially during this time, communication is a lot easier with a cellphone.
Even some children own a cellphone. These are most likely for emergency purposes.

It is very helpful as it allows their parents to check on their kids from time to time. It is dangerous if the child’s use got out of hand.
Yes, but it is also important for parents to regulate their children’s use of cellphones as it may be harmful to the child.

Yes, you can say that again. Unregulated use of cellphone may be detrimental to the child’s physical and mental health.
Too much exposure to cellphones will limit their physical activity, making their systems a bit weak compared to normal.

It may also cause them problems in socializing with people if they are faced with their phone screens than with people most of the time.
Yes, I think these also apply to adults.

That is true. While we recognize the benefits of cellphones, it is also important to regulate its use to avoid its disadvantageous consequences.

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. What’s up?
Nothing much, really. You?

Well, I’ve been reading books about Japanese ghosts and monsters. I find a certain monster fascinating. It’s called Kappa and it is an amphibious creature with a beak, webbed feet, a turtle shell, and frog skin.
Oh, monsters are just not my cup of tea. They give me goosebumps!

Oh, come on! They are not that scary!
Well, every time I watch a movie with monsters in it, my heart misses a beat!

You need to conquer that fear, Emma! I’ve got just the solution!
What is it then?

Let’s watch “Gegege no Kitaro.” It is a classic anime that has a humorous take on Japanese folklore! I think you would find the monsters cute rather than scary!
Okay, but if it is anything like the last movie I watched, I’m headed for the door!

I promise it’s going to be fun. You might even learn some of Japan’s age-old stories!

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

Hey, Emma. Have you heard of the recent urban legend circulating on the Internet?
What is it, Ron?

People claim that there is a mysterious colossal creature that hides in the women’s dressing room of the oldest mall in the city.
I think I’ve already heard that from one of my siblings. I was actually in cold sweat after hearing them talking about it, saying that it is a half snake, half-human creature.

Seriously, there are different conspiracy theories about it. Some people say that it is the son of the mall’s owner.
I’ve also heard claims that every time that creature is hungry, he will pick one unlucky woman that is using the dressing room.

Other versions of the story claim that the floor of the dressing room will just go wide open, dropping the girl into a deep, dark place where the creature dwells.
What an awful and frightening story! This topic is too spine-tingling.

It is! Urban legends and folklores like this one are very interesting yet terrifying.
Anyway, let’s just hope that this story is just pure exaggeration.
