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

Do you travel a lot?
Yes, I do. How about you?

I also do. I usually travel with my family.
What are the troubles you encounter when traveling?

The most common travel trouble I experience involves my luggage, either I overpack or under-pack. How about you?
Yes, I experience the same.
I also have a hard time trying to estimate the wardrobe which will be just enough for the duration of my travel.

What other travel troubles have you experienced?
We sometimes experience miscalculations in our itinerary as well.
Most of the time, we fail to hit the nail on the head when it comes to our schedule.

That’s right. We have experienced that as well.
So sometimes, we just do things at the drop of a hat.
Really? How did that work for you?

Sometimes it helps as we don’t get very anxious with our time and we get to really enjoy things we like. You may want to try that next time.
Yes, I will. Thank you for the tip.
