This is a prompt for the discussion part in ASL speaking. You can say the following lines or something similar in your discussion for the prompt:
Student A: Hey the entire nation is swept over by the Swach Bharat Abhiyan, and the residents of colonies around our school are still dumping garbage on streets like stone-age man!
Student B: Why do they do it? Do the garbage collectors not collect garbage there?
Student A: How can that be? Municipal Corporation has assigned garbage collection facility to each and every area in the city. This is because people of these colonies are careless and uninformed.
Student B: Well, we must do something. Otherwise serious health problems may be caused due to the throwing of garbage in the open. Stink, squalor, flies, etc can cause health issues to the residents.
Student A: We, the students can really a play a revolutionary role in checking this unhygienic menace and nuisance of throwing garbage in open.
Student B: Yes, the first and foremost measure we need to take is we ourselves must never ever throw garbage in the open. If we have the bad habit of flinging polythene carry-bags full of garbage in streets, how can we ask others not to throw it; we must desist doing it.
Student A: You are right. I confess, I myself have thrown garbage in streets at times!Student B: The second most important step to be taken is, we must not let any of our family members do this irresponsible act. There is almost a student in each family; if each student shoulders the responsibility of not letting his or her family members indulge in this reckless act of dumping garbage in the open, the problem will be controlled automatically.
Student A: I agree with you completely.
Student B: The third very important measure to this problem could be going to those colonies where plots are being used as dumping grounds and reason with people. We can form teams and carrying posters depicting negative effects of garbage on the people living in the surroundings and general environment, we can hold seminars or street plays to sensitize people to myriad health related problems caused by the garbage mounds.
Student A: The fourth important initiative that we can take is appeal to the Mayor of the Municipal Corporation to make arrangements for proper garbage disposal and clearing in the colonies. These measures put into practice, individually or collectively can really make a difference.
Student B: I am feeling really excited. Let's get cracking. I feel if we need faster results, we can also take media's help also, can't we?
Student A: Sure we can! Let's call some of our friends, who can be a part of our campaign team. Media, we will decide later.
