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

That’s an astounding magic show. You can’t beat that!
You took the words right out of my mouth. What’s your favorite part of the show?

It’s when he swallowed the sword! It was scary to watch but I think it’s the highlight of the show. That’s one heart-stopping performance!
Oh, yeah! That part is just so cool. At the same time, I was so worried it
might hurt him. For me, it was when he started walking on water. For a
moment, I was utterly convinced it’s not just an illusion.

In fact, I’m still wondering how he managed to do that.
No wonder, he’s famous all over the world.

He’s definitely second to none!
Should we watch his second show tomorrow night!

I was thrilled to bits! There’s no way we’re not going!
Okay, cool. I’ll invite more friends to join us!
