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

Good day, Emma!

Hi, Ron! What brought you here?

I’m here to pick up my younger sister. How about you?

I’m here to visit my niece during her recess.

That’s sweet! I bet my sister and your niece will be great friends in the future!

Surely! I think they have the same preferences in most things.

Oh, how I miss being a child attending preschool.

Me too! I miss how carefree we were back then.

Now that you mentioned it, I miss playing like there’s no tomorrow with our friends. Being out and about all the time without having to worry about adulthood.

That’s right! You were such an eager beaver back when we were
in preschool. You always come to school on time, and you were always
the first one to finish every class activity we had.

Exactly!

Oh look, my niece is here! I think I have to go now.

Okay, Emma! Take care.

You too!
