You can either use the following discussion or formulate your own discussion using ideas from it:
Student A: Hey where have you been? I wanted to discuss something important with you?
Student B: I was at accounts office depositing my monthly fee! What happened?
Student A: Our friend, Sumit was caught cribbing; his test was cancelled and he has also been issued a Red Card!
Student B: That’s very sad! He must be sad!
Student A: His parents were called and warned!
Student B: We should talk to him, shouldn’t we?
Student A: We must. We must edify him on the ill effects of copying during tests or exams.
Student B: We must tell him this type of copying others’ ideas won’t help him in the long run! We must tell him he will never ever develop his creativity, intelligence, and other faculties if he has this thief’s attitude.
Student A: The mental abilities that make us academically brilliant develop only if we honestly try to do our own tasks, solve our own sums, and do our own assignments. Copying during tests and exams will only damage self-confidence, self-conviction, and won’t let the inner potential to develop to its optimal level.
Student B: We will tell him to be honest. We will tell him doing well in tests depends on one’s preparation. We will remind him copying will not help him achieve success in life.
Student A: This is the right time to tell him frankly it is all because of his mismanagement of time and addiction to TV and mobile phone.
Student B: We will share our success secret with him. We will help him make time table and encourage him to study according to it. This will give him the confidence to do well in exams and tests.
Student A: We will also tell him to forget the past; there is no use crying over the spilt milk. We will also tell him only he is to be held responsible for what happened. We will motivate him to prepare himself for the coming retest.
Student B: Let’s go to his home. He needs us at this sad time.
