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

Emma, I heard your speech practice earlier. I really think you’re coming along so well.

Really, Ron? I’ve become a night owl from practicing my speech almost
every night. I’m glad my efforts are paying off!

I’m counting the days till I see you deliver your speech at the event.

You’re making me nervous! But yeah, the event is just around the
corner. I better practice harder so that I won’t make mistakes. By the
way, you delivered a speech at the same event last year, right? Can you
give me some tips?

Actually, I have no recollection of how I did it that time. It’s just a one-time thing for me. I just thought it’s good to experience speaking your mind in front of a large crowd.

Wow, you made it so easy to do.

Oh no, that’s not the case at all. I guess, what I’m trying to say is that, I did everything instinctively. I just did whatever I think had to be done that time. And that’s it.

Ah, that’s why your speech seemed so natural. I should also consider
that. I don’t want to sound too rehearsed. I want it to be as natural as
possible, just like talking to a friend.

There! I couldn’t have put it better myself.

Thanks, Ron! I should go ahead and practice more. See you around!
