Answer 1

This is an ASL prompt for speaking task 3. You can say the following lines or something similar in your discussion for the prompt:

Candidate A: Well, this littering problem is quite a common sight in our country, and our class students are no exception. I just wonder why people litter and waste so much food knowing well there are are millions of people in our country who don't get a square meal everyday!
Candidate B: My heart pains when I see so many students throwing their unconsumed food in the class dustbin. This is not only the wastage of national food resources, but also very unhygienic for the class! Sometimes, the maids omit to clean the dustbins, this causes a lot of putrid smell in the class. Besides, the rotting food attracts flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc, which are carriers of germs and dangerous bacteria.
Candidate A: How dirty our class looks after the break as if it is a dumping yard! This throwing of litter and food also encourages other students to follow suit. How will our parents feel when they come to know that the food cooked by them with so much of love, affection, and labour is thrown so unthinkingly?
Candidate B: of course they will be hurt! We must do something to stop this flagrant wastage of food! What are our options?
Candidate A: We can do much in this regard. We can bring the issue to our class teacher's notice. If you feel it right, we can even go to the principal. What do you say?
Candidate B: We don't need go to the principal straightaway. Class teacher will do first. We can talk to our classmates ourselves on the issue and reason with them about the negative effects of this littering and wastage. Most of them will surely listen to us.
Candidate A: Yes, we can also have some posters on 'Stop Littering' or ‘Keep our Class Clean’ put up in the class, which will serve as reminders to the students.
Candidate B: Very bright idea. Let's go to the class teacher and start working on the mission.
