Answers
Answer:You can either use the following conversation or develop
similar one using ideas from it:
Student A: Hey, where have you been all this while? I have been
looking for you everywhere. I want to discuss a very creative idea with you!
Student B: I was at the accounts office paying my fee. What
creative idea do you have?
Student A: I was wondering if we could have our class walls
painted with some informative themes, the class will look so cool.
Student B: Hey, our class is already beautifully painted;
besides there are notice boards on the walls. Don’t you think the wall painting
will spoil the beauty of the class?
Student A: Actually you are not getting me! I am talking
about painting the blank parts of the left, right, and the rear walls. The
other day I went to my younger brother’s school. His class was looking awesome
with different themes painted on them. I got the idea from there!
Student B: Really? What theme do you have in mind for our
class?
Student A: On left side we can paint solar system; on the
right we can paint galaxies; on the rear wall we can either paint India’s Mars
Mission or dolphins theme.
Student B: Wow! The very idea sounds so great! But how will
we paint, we are no professional painters!
Student A: I know it will make our class look just wow! We
will take our arts teachers’ help. I have already discussed it with her. She
said she would draw the outline of the theme herself and assign different
sections to different students for painting the colours in them.
Student B: Well, that is good. But how will we arrange the
money? We need some good paints, brushes, and other material for the wall
painting, won’t we?
Student A: I have also decided on that; I will ask the
principal to provide us with the paints and the other material from the school;
if we don’t get any help from the school, we will contribute the money.
Student B: That’s a great idea. Have you talked to the class
teacher?
Student A: Yes, I have. She has liked the idea. She says she
will cooperate with us fully.
Student B: I am really excited about it. Let’s
go to our class teacher to request her to go to the principal right now for the
permission.
