Answers
This is an ASL prompt for speaking in class 10. You can say the following lines or something similar in your discussion for the prompt:
Student A: Some of the boys of our class very ill-mannered. They use foul and abusive language so flagrantly while quarrelling and even on trivial matters of disagreement.
Student B: I agree with you. We have to feel so embarrassed at times on their shamelessness!
Student A: Why only those few boys do that? Other boys are so polite and gentle!
Student B: I think they have learnt it from their home environment they live in. Their elders might have been using foul and abusive language!
Student A: That’s alright but we got to do something. Otherwise their habit of using foul language will become incorrigible.
Student B: That’s true! What can we do?
Student A: I think we should have a word with them. We can discuss with them the ill-effects of using foul and abusive language over snacks at the canteen.
Student B: Yes, that is a brilliant idea. We can tell them foul language is characteristic of bad characters. We can even tell them this habit is tarnishing their image. People who use foul language are considered repulsive.
Student A: We can tell them they might lose their good, intelligent friends who help them in their studies, which will lead to further complications.
Student B: We can tell them the consequences of using foul language on the school campus. If they get caught they will be suspended; their parents will come to know; and they will feel embarrassment.
Student A: We can also tell them politely that using foul languages openly, especially where so many girls are around is highly unethical and impolite. I am sure they will surely listen to us.
Student B: If they don’t, we will bring the matter to class teacher’s attention. She will deal strictly with them.
Student A: That’s true. But we will take our class teacher’s help only as a last recourse. First we will try to reason with them.
Follow up questions and answers:
How easy/difficult do you think it would be for you...?
Answer: It will be very difficult to mend the ways of these spoilt and ill-mannered children. The very fact they use foul language in the class shows their aggressive nature. They will bully me. However, I would like to stop this foul language in the class where even girls are sitting.
Do you think the class teacher can...?
Answer: I think the class teacher can really play a decisive role in the matter. She can first warn these students against using foul language in the class. However, if they don’t mend their ways, she can penalize them. She can call their parents and involve them in the matter. This will really solve the problem.
