Are you good at math?
Speak as Nick
Speak as Nancy
Nancy: No, I am not. I am terrible at math. Why do you ask?
Nick: I am having trouble with my math homework, and I was hoping that you would be able to help me.
Nancy: I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that. But, I know who can help you.
Nick: Who?
Nancy: You should ask Jon for help. He is great at math. He is like a math genius.
Nick: I don't really know Jon well. I would feel uncomfortable asking him for help.
Nancy: I am good friends with Jon, so I will message him and explain the situation. Maybe, he will be willing to help you.
Nick: I guess it doesn't hurt to ask. Thank you so much.
Nancy: You're welcome.
