READING ALOUD
Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.
READ
Hey there, Emma. Do you remember Alice, our Class President in Junior High? She’ll be coming home from London to “tie the knot” next week. She sent me a wedding invitation. Are you invited too?
|
|
Yes, but I’m not sure if I’m going. We’re not that close back in the day, so I’m not sure if I’ll go. Besides, I don’t know what gift to give.
|
|
Well, I heard it will be a grand beach wedding as Alice and her fiancé both worked abroad for years. Anything simple yet elegant will be a good wedding gift.
|
I guess you’re right. Still, I’m thinking whether I should go or not. I’m not really an outgoing person. |
|
We can go together if you want. It would be nice to meet with our batchmates. Don’t worry, I’m sure you will enjoy attending Alice’s wedding.
|
|
Okay then, I shall go with you. I will also give them gift money as per the tradition. |
|
Giving gift money is polite, but make sure to not hand it directly to the couple. You can hand it over to the receptionist.
|
|
I see, thanks. See you at the wedding. |
