Answers
You can either use the following conversation for your asl prompt task or develop your own taking hints from it:
Student A: Hey where have you been? I looked for you everywhere! I have to discuss with you something very important!
Student B: I was at canteen! What happened? Why are you looking tense?
Student A: You know Gaurav and his squad? They have been insisting on me to skive school and accompany them to the Mall and have fun with them! They have been doing it quite regularly!
Student B: How strange! What did you say to them?
Student A: I have just been putting them off! But every time they find an opportunity, they don’t miss talking about it.
Student B: Why don’t you bunk school once and have a feel of it?
Student A: Never! I consider skiving no less than deceiving your parents and teachers. They send us to school to learn something and make our life great. This is immoral. What purpose it will serve, eh?
Student B: I agree with your view. But don’t you think they will bully you and taunt you for being so morally upright and studious?
Student A: Bully they can’t me! They know I will complain to the class teacher. Once he had tried to bully me to help him with the class test. I had refused it. He had threatened me to face the consequences! I had immediately complained to the class teacher; and class teacher had taken him to task.
Student B: I just can’t understand why some students skive?
Student A: I consider it a weakness of character---their inability to control their temptations. Our education teaches us not to do anything wrong. And bunking school for pleasure and fun is the biggest wrong for a student.
Student B: Yes it is. I think we should talk to our class monitor. Together we can have a word with Gaurav and his squad regarding the bad effects of bunking.
Student A: That will be the best thing. We can tell him if he got caught he will be in big trouble. According to the school rule any child caught bunking will be suspended by two weeks’ suspension along with the issuing of Red Card.
Student B: We can tell him how immoral it is a type of betraying parents and teachers’ trust.
Student A: The academic loss is irreparable. Who will make up for the study loss one faces during bunking?
Student B: If he does not listen to us…we will inform our class-teacher.
Student A: That’s a good idea. Let’s go and talk to the monitor.

Would you suggest involving...?
I feel I would require other students’ involvement in sorting out the matter. Might be other prefects or Head boy or Head girl can help me handle the situation.
Do you think the teacher can...?
Teacher will surely resolve the issue. Since teacher has authority. Besides the teacher might call their parents and take action against them.
