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, there! I’m Ron. What’s your name?

I’m Emma. Nice to meet you.

Are you new here in the city?

Yes, I am. I am originally from the United States. I have just arrived here
yesterday, and I am currently looking for a great place to stay while I am here.

Perfect! I’m also looking for a housemate who can share an apartment with me.

Would it be okay if I share the apartment with you?

Of course! We can split the utilities and rent. My apartment is located just near the park, and you can definitely move in any time. All you have to do is pay the deposit.

Thank you so much! Finally, I have a safe space here, and someone
I can consider close-knit.

No worries, Emma! We’ll both have each other through thick and thin.

I better get going now, and prepare my stuff before moving in. See you
real soon!

See you soon, new roommate! Just let me know if you need any help.

Alright! Thanks, Ron.

You’re welcome, Emma.
