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

PART B_2

Good morning, Emma. How’s your sleep last night?

Ugh, it was terrible. Do you have a moment?

Sure, what is it about?

My neighbors were watching a movie in full volume last night. They
would even laugh out loud. I swear they’re loud enough to wake the dead.

Oh, that’s a problem.

In fact, it’s not the first time it happened. I just wanted to get some rest
after an exhausting week at work. I can’t stand it anymore!

I’m sorry to hear that. If that’s the case, then why don’t you reach out to them?

I’ve been meaning to. But I don’t know how to do it without coming off
as rude.

But you really have to do something about it, especially that it’s already taking a toll on your well-being.

You’re right, Ron. I shouldn’t let this affect my productivity at work.
