How Do you Say it?

In today's episode, we are going to look at two different dialogues in English, where one person is breaking the news to another person. 

Good news

Person A: Hey, I have some exciting news to share with you!

Person B: Really? What is it?

Person A: I got the job that I applied for!

Person B: Oh wow, that's amazing! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

Person A: Thank you so much! I'm really thrilled about it. It's the perfect opportunity for me and it's going to be a huge step forward in my career.

Person B: I can tell how excited you are, and you should be! This is a huge accomplishment.

Person A: Yes, it definitely is. I can't wait to get started and see what this new job has in store for me.

Person B: You're going to do great. This is just the beginning of all the wonderful things that are going to come your way.

Person A: Thank you for being so supportive. I really appreciate it.

Person B: Of course! You deserve all the happiness and success that comes your way.

Bad/Sad News

Person A: Hey, can we talk?

Person B: Sure, what's up?

Person A: I don't really know how to say this, but I think we need to break up.

Person B: What? Why? Is it something I did?

Person A: No, it's not you. It's just that I don't feel like we're working out. We're just not compatiblein the way that we need to be.

Person B: I can't believe this is happening. I thought everything was going well.

Person A: I know, and it's not an easy decision for me to make. But I think it's for the best.

Person B: How am I supposed to move on from this?

Person A: I don't know. It's going to be hard for both of us, but we'll get through it. We can still be friends, if that's something you want.

Person B: I don't know if I can just be friends with you after this. I need time to process everything.

Person A: I understand. I'm here for you if you need anything. I just want you to know that this isn't about you. It's just about the relationship not working out the way it needs to.

Person B: I appreciate you telling me this, even though it hurts. I guess I'll need some time to think about everything.

Person A: That's understandable. Just know that I'll always care about you and want the best for you, even if we're not together anymore.
