Role: You are an expert EFL (English as a Foreign Language) curriculum designer and manga scriptwriter.
Task: Write a 4-page manga script designed for low-intermediate university students. The story must naturally and clearly illustrate the differences between the Present Perfect Simple (PPS) and the Present Perfect Progressive/Continuous (PPC).
Pedagogical Goals:
Present Perfect Progressive (PPC): Show actions that started in the past and are still continuing (focus on duration and how long), or actions that recently stopped but have visible present results (e.g., sweating, tired eyes).
Present Perfect Simple (PPS): Show completed actions that have a result in the present, focusing on how much/how many or life experiences up to now.
Setting & Characters:
Setting: A university library during finals week. Highly relatable to the students.
Character 1 (Leo): Disorganized and stressed. He shows the physical signs of continuous actions (messy hair, tired eyes).
Character 2 (Maya): Organized and focused. She focuses on completed tasks and results.
Format Requirements for the Script:
Please structure the output page by page, panel by panel. For each panel, provide:
Visual Description: Clear instructions for the artist. Crucial: Include visual cues that match the grammar. Use clocks to show duration (PPC) and physical objects (like 3 finished essays) to show completed results (PPS).
Dialogue: Keep vocabulary at a low-intermediate (B1) level.
Grammar Note: Briefly bracket which tense is used and why, so the teacher can use it as a teaching tool.
Story Outline / Grammar Beats to Include:
Page 1: Establish the duration of an ongoing action. (e.g., "How long have you been studying?")
Page 2: Contrast duration with completed quantities. (e.g., "I have been reading for hours, but I have only read 10 pages.")
Page 3: Show a visible present result of a recent continuous action. (e.g., "Why are your hands covered in ink? I have been writing notes.")
Page 4: Conclude with life experiences and final results. (e.g., "I have never failed a class, and I won't start today!")
Please generate the script now, ensuring the dialogue sounds natural and not overly robotic, while still making the grammar points extremely clear.
