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 about the band called “Headspace”?

Actually, I haven’t. Are they good?

Yes! I spend a lot of time listening to new bands, and I’ve no doubt at all that this band will make it to the mainstream. It’s just a matter of time.

Oh, cool. You have a good taste in music, so now I’m really curious
about this band. What is their genre, by the way?

They make alternative rock music which is my kind of thing. I recommend that you listen to their song called “Northern lights” first.

I see. Okay, I’ll take note of that title.

The band members seem simple too. I mean, they’re not trying to show off or anything like that. But once you listen to their music, that’s just pure talent right there.

Well, as what they say, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”.

You’re right. I’m glad I gave them a try.

And now, you’re bouncing off the walls about their music! I can’t wait to
hear their songs.
