PART A_1

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

PART A_2

I bought a manga for our grandmother. This is one of the famous manga today, Sanju Mariko.
Why did you buy our grandmother a manga? It is not yet her birthday and she is too old for that.

I bought manga for her because I believe she will see herself in the story. Plus, the latest trend in manga is that old people are the main characters in the story instead of teenagers.
I see and I also remember that lately, she kept on telling me her life stories when she was young. So I guess giving her a manga about it will make her happy.

Indeed. I will just cover it with a gift wrapper then I will give this to her.
Let me help you with that then let’s go to our grandmother’s house.
