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

Hi, Emma! Have you been to the newly opened cafe across the street?
Not yet. How about you?

Yes, I have. My workaholic friend is the owner of that cafe.
Oh, I see. How was it?

I don’t want to sound biased but it was nice! It is a very unique cafe because they have several dogs inside!
I guess that’s unique. It is actually my first time to hear of a cafe
with pet dogs inside.

Are you fond of dogs?
Not really. Playing with dogs is not my cup of tea.

That’s sad to hear, their dogs are very cute! But their coffee is a little bit watery.
I guess their unique concept of having dogs compensate for their menu?

I guess so. But give it a shot! I’ll treat you.
Okay. Is tomorrow afternoon okay?

Tomorrow it is then.
