Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.
PART B_2

Hi, Emma. Can I talk to you?
Sure, Ron. What is this all about?

We will be doing our presentation in a while but you don’t seem nervous or even a bit bothered.
What do you mean, Ron?

How do you keep yourself calm? I am so nervous right now as you can see with all the sweating.
What makes you nervous?

Just the idea that we will be performing in a while makes me nervous. I keep on thinking that things will go pear-shaped on my end.
It is totally fine to feel that way, Ron.
However, you should try your best to not let your worries affect your performance.

How do you do it?
I don’t think there is one size fits all way, but as for me, I try to relax
and talk to people to keep myself from thinking about it.

Thank you, Emma. I will try that as well. I hope I can be as confident as you next time.
