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

Are you excited about our school camping next weekend?

Well, given the choice, I’d rather go camping with my family. That way,
I won’t have to worry about anything. I’m sure my family will take care of it.

That may be true. But another reason camping is fun is that you get to learn how to be independent. Don’t you think so?

Actually, I’ve never gone camping before. Could you give me some advice?

Sure. No matter what happens, always follow your group. Keep walking, even at a snail’s pace. You don’t want to be left behind.

That’d be terrifying! I don’t want to get lost in the woods.

Another piece of advice is to always obey the instructions given by the camp leader. Stay alert at all times, and don’t be impatient.

Okay, that’s noted. How about our food? Will we be able to cook
properly at the campsite?

Sure we can. We may not have all the tools we’d have in a kitchen, but we can play it by ear. Learning to be resourceful is part of the fun!

Okay, I’ll keep all your advice in mind.
