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! Sorry, I wasn’t able to reply to your message last night.

Oh, it’s okay, Ron. Were you busy that time?

Well, I was watching a sci-fi movie about aliens with my friends last night. Now, I can’t help but wonder if aliens do exist.

That’s an interesting question. Well, the way I see it, it’s unlikely that aliens exist.

Hmm, you could be right, but there are ongoing space explorations being conducted by scientists. Who knows, they might find signs of life on other planets.

I agree with you on that. It’s an important milestone for science too, so we should be up to date with their findings.

It’s common knowledge that there are trillions of galaxies in the universe. There are still so many things to explore which could lead to countless possibilities.

I couldn’t agree more. The bottom line is that we should be open-minded
and prepared for any changes so that we can easily adapt.

I’m with you on that one.

Wow, I didn’t know you were that interested in extraterrestrial life!
