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

I’m sorry for letting you down in the game last night. How thoughtless of me. I should have been more alert.

Hey, it’s nothing. You did your best, right?

I really thought you’re going to give me a cold shoulder for that.

Why would I? It’s okay to lose in a game. Besides, it’s not always about
winning. For me, learning about teamwork carries more weight.

So, what do you think? Should I switch characters?

You can do as you please. I’d like you to feel free and just have fun in the game.

Thanks for being so supportive. Crossing my fingers and hope that we’ll win tonight!

I’m thinking… what if we form a bigger team for the game?

You mean, we’re going to invite our friends to join? That’s a great idea!

I’m absolutely positive we’re going to win tonight!
