PART A_1

Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Ron, and you will be Emma. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.

PART A_2

I watched the news today, and it said that prices in the market will go up because of the recent storm that hit our country. It will also increase oil prices in the international market.
I know. I just went to the market to buy things that I need, and I found out that prices got more expensive, especially the vegetables and fruits.

It is reported that the increase will last for three months. So now, we have to fix our budget.
You’re right. We will also have to spend less on things that are not very important.

I will not buy the shoes that I’ve been saving up for. I will save the money for now.
That’s a good idea. I will do the same.
