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, which do you prefer? Watching our friends play video games or watching a baseball game on TV?
Hmm, probably the latter. It makes me feel more like a spectator. How about you?

Well, watching our friends play video games is more entertaining for me! Have you seen our friends play Mario Kart? They were neck and neck.
There’s a lot of shouting and it always ends up in a fight.

I don’t mind! The loser always buys the dinner anyway!
Well, that’s one good thing.

By the way, our friends are going to live stream their game on YouTube!
Are you serious? You mean anyone can watch?

Yes! That’s how they make money nowadays. Basically, gamers can live-stream themselves narrating their way through games and attract fans worldwide!
That’s pretty awesome, I must admit.
But with their crazy antics, there’s a fat chance that they would gain
online followers!

I have to disagree! Their crazy antics would make people watch their videos!
Well, let’s wait and see.
