Attempt a dialogue between two friends discussing about the price rise in the state.
Answers
Friend A: Do you know my friends have refused to raise my pocket money?
Friend B: Same here; my parents say the cost of living is rising alarmingly.
Friend A: They are right in their place. The cost of living is really rising; the cost of basic essentials eats up all earnings.
Friend B: Yes, for example the fuel prices rose so steeply. How can an ordinary citizen with meagre means hope to live comfortably?
Friend A: The prices of food grains, vegetables, pulses, fruits, cooking gas, clothes, medicines, etc. are riding constantly.
Friend B: The Government has failed miserably. It must make more efficient policies to provide commodities of everyday needs to people at reasonable rates.
Friend A: It must take strict action against hoarders.
Ram- Sham, why are you looking so upset today?
Sham- Ram, you are correct. I am very sad today. I asked my parents to increase my pocket money due to the rise of price in petrol, but they refused.
Ram- What can they do dear? They too are facing the same problem. You need money for petrol and other petty expenses. But they have to maintain all the household expenditure from that money. The cost of basic essentials eats up all the salary. The prices of grains, clothes, fruits, vegetables, gas etc all are increasing at an alarming speed.
Sham- Hmmm. But what should be done for it?
Ram- The government should take strict action against the hoarders to eliminate the malpractices.
