Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Sam and you will be Emma. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.
READ
Have you heard? The band, Red Earl, will have a concert here in January! Do you want to go?
|
Of course! I want to watch them live, too. I became a fan after you made me listen to their single “Welcome Reputation”. |
|
Aren’t their songs fantastic? “Welcome Reputation” is my personal favorite so far. The lyrics are nothing short of poetry and the lead guitarist, Harry Summers, played their song in perfect harmony.
|
|
Indeed, considering how today’s music values entertainment over creativity. I hate those popular electronic dance songs with nonsensical lyrics. Who listens to them, anyway?
|
|
My sister does. I really don’t understand her taste in music.
|
|
Well, you can’t always please everyone. Anyway, you can come over at my place if you want to see all of my Red Earl albums.
