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

Good morning, Emma. I’m glad you could make it today.

Me too. I’ve been so busy lately. But I’d visit
galleries more often if I had more free time. Thanks for inviting me, Ron.

Sure thing. I know how much you love art.

By the way, is there an admission fee?

It’s free today since it’s the first day of the exhibition.

Great! Let’s go in now, then.

Look at this artwork. If you ask me, this piece is underrated. It has a lot of interesting details. I’m pretty sure this artist will become more popular in a few years.

You seem to have an eye for interesting paintings. Honestly, I don’t
know much about art since I only visit art galleries once in
a blue moon. But it does look impressive to me.

I’m glad you think so. Let’s go ahead and see more paintings.

Okay, let’s go.
