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

Emma, are you ready for our lunch meeting with the managers later?

Yes, I am. I am just a bit nervous about some stuff.

What are those? Please tell me about it.

Well, it is my first time joining a lunch meeting. I am just worried about not being able to observe proper table manners.

I understand how that can make you feel nervous. I was like that when it was my first time as well. We should also be more proper as our manager is meticulous and does not cut some slack on anyone.

Could you give me some of the most important table manners that I should observe?

Among the most important table manners are eating with your mouth closed, keeping your elbows off the table, and asking people whenever you have to leave the table.

Thank you for this, Ron. I am really nervous that I will be so focused on my table manners and my presentation will go pear-shaped.

I see. You’ll get used to it the next time.

Yes, I hope we will be able to do well in our meeting later.

We will, Emma. Break a leg!
