Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.

PART B_2

What are you up to, Emma?

Ron! I’m glad you’re here. I have good news!

Really? Spill the beans!

I finally have a driver’s license! As luck would have it, I passed the
driving test on my first attempt.

How cool! Congratulations! I’m sure you worked hard for that.

I wish I knew our city like the back of my hand, though. And I’m not
confident with my driving skills just yet.

You’ll get there soon. What’s more important is making sure you’re driving safely. It’s better to be safe than sorry. You can’t drive with your head in the clouds. You need to stay focused and alert at all times.

That’s true. I guess constant practice really is the key.

That’s a fact. As what they say, “No pain, no gain”.

Let’s go for a drive sometime next week.
