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

PART B_2

Hey, Emma!

Hi there, Ron! What’s up?

I’m doing great, how about you?

I’m good, too! I just came from my grandfather’s home and
was super amazed by his collection of old radios.

Wow, that sounds so interesting. I haven’t tried listening to the radio yet because it seems so outdated compared to the gadgets we have now.

I agree! Radios are as old as Adam unlike the internet, which is
omnipresent and is very much at our fingertips.

Indeed, the world has progressed so much in terms of technological advancements.

Yes, but the infamous baby boomers somehow still can’t accept change
and are fond of using old technology such as radios.

Honestly, that is also great! At least they preserve our culture.

I agree. Maybe next time I can show you my grandfather’s collection.

Sounds exciting!

It is!

Alright. See you then.

Take care!

You too!
