Answer 1

Partner 1: Have you noticed that Rahul is not able to participate well whenever we have to work in groups?

Partner 2: Yes, he was in my group during last Science activity and I felt he did not give his hundred percent. I expected, seeing his good scores in Science, that he would be a good source for collecting information.

Partner 1: I feel he is very shy and feels more comfortable when he works alone, But that may become a hurdle for him in future.

Partner 2: You are rightly saying. He seems to be a loner. How can we suggest him to improve? After all he is a good friend of ours. I am worried about his scores in group activities also.

Partner 1: We can talk with him and convince that it's very important to work in a team. It always strikes better when many people work together rather than working alone. It's one of the important leadership qualities to move along with our team.

Partner 2: Absolutely right. We'll try and talk with his parents also if he is not convinced. Or maybe suggest them to see a counselor if the problem persists.

Partner 1: That's a good idea. Let's talk to him first in the evening.

Partner 2: Alright!
