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!

What’s up? Why did you call at this hour?

I’m sorry to bother you. I would just like to invite you to our family dinner tomorrow. Are you available?

Yeah, that would be awesome. By the way, I’d like to ask
what we’re having for dinner.

I think my mom will prepare garlic butter shrimp and roast chicken.

That sounds great! However, I’m allergic to shrimp, and to be honest,
I find chicken a little bland.

Really? That sounds awful. I don’t want to cross the line by ignoring your food allergy. If I serve you shrimp after you’ve warned me, that will be another nail in the coffin for our family dinner.

Thanks for understanding. I wish I were immune to the effects of shrimp,
but unfortunately, I’m allergic to it.

I understand. My mom takes health seriously and recently got vaccinated against the flu. I’ll ask her to prepare a shrimp-free dish instead.

That’s good to hear! Thank you so much, Ron.
