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

Hi Emma, you’ve been as busy as a bee. What have you been up to?

Well, I’ve been attending cram school again. I failed an exam last month.
I thought I should push myself to study harder by going to cram school.

Oh, I see. But you passed all your exams this month, right? That’s a real improvement! I can already see your progress.

Thanks, Ron. Maybe I just got lucky. I can’t be complacent, especially
that we are in our final year in high school.

Oh, you’re right. And we only have a few more weeks left to study for another batch of exams.

That’s true. I get butterflies in my stomach just by thinking about that.

Well, we just have to keep going until it’s all done. As you said, we’re in our final year. Can’t wait to celebrate!

That’s a motivating way of looking at things. I miss playing video
games though. If only I can play games all night and still get a high
score in my exam tomorrow…

When pigs fly! Don’t worry, we’ll play video games until we numb our fingers after finishing our exams.

Now, I have something to look forward to!
