Answers
You can either use the following conversation or develop similar one using ideas from it:
Student A: Hey Raman, how are you?
Student B: Hi, I am fine. Thanks. And you?
Student A: I am fine too. Thanks. Anything new?
Student B: Nothing new! However, my parents and I are very upset concerning my younger brother’s addiction to TV and mobile phone.
Student A: Really? The same problem is the topic of discussion in our family too. My younger brother and sister are suffering from the same syndrome.
Student B: Not only this, he does not play any outdoor game at all! He just sits in front of TV for hours at a stretch! He has already become a couch potato. If he does not start playing any outdoor game, his health is going to suffer drastically.
Student A: Same is the situation at my home. I just wonder what has happened to the young generation. They neither have any hobby. Nor do they read for leisure at all! All these signs don’t augur well. We will have to do something!
Student B: What can we do? We have already tried counseling them many times.
Student A: We need to do more than counseling. We must talk to our parents and persuade them to get them enrolled in any sports club or gym. We may volunteer to accompany them daily.
Student B: We can do one more thing. Initially, to encourage them to play outdoor games, we can start playing with them ourselves.
Student A: Once they get the feel of it, they will really like playing outdoor games. Do you remember we used to be crazy about playing outdoor games? It is because of them that we enjoy such a good health, don’t we?
Student B: Yes, we do. If we don’t get them to play out door games or encourage them to physical exercises, their health will be affected drastically.
Student A: I agree with you. let’s minimize their TV viewing and mobile using, and maximize their physical activities.
