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

PART B_2

Hi, Emma. Are you busy? I could do with some help, please.

I’m not so busy. How can I help?

My friends and I are planning a surprise birthday party for Joe. I was assigned to look for a restaurant where we can have the party. A hole in the wall will probably do.

Oh, I see. Well then, I highly recommend Jerry’s barbecue. It’s a nice
spot since it’s just around the corner.

Awesome! How about their food? Is it good?

I believe so. It has a lot of patrons. And it’s sought-after by online
influencers. It’s all over social media now.

Great! That’s a big help, Emma.

No worries. When is the party, by the way?

It’s this Saturday.

It usually gets crowded on weekends, so it’s better if you make a reservation.
