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

PART B_2

Hi there, Emma!

Good to see you, Ron! How are you?

I’m doing great! I’ve come to accompany my father at the soft opening of the casino by the bay.

Wow! That sounds interesting.

I agree! You should come with us if you want.

I would love to, but my parents won’t let me, especially if they learn that casinos involve gambling.

It’s okay, I understand. I agree with your parents. I’m just not sure why my dad enjoys gambling.

In my opinion, casinos are very complicated; the odds of winning a bet are one in a million.

It’s a fair bet that gamblers lose a hefty amount of cash.

That’s for sure!

I guess I have to go now, Emma! See you again soon.

Alright! Have fun and take care.
