Answers
Student 1: Let’s do our homework together.
Student 2: Okay, but I have something to say.
Student 1: Regarding homework?
Student 2: Yes.
Student 1: What is it? Anything special?
Student 2: Well, I like your company, but I don’t like it when you copy all my work.
Student 1: But why is it bothering you today. We have always studied together like that.
Student 2: The thing is that I have been trying to say it to you for a very long time, but I thought you be hurt.
Student 1: I can still be hurt, right?
Student 2: Yes, but I realised that I if I am a true friend, I need to be honest with you.
Student 1: So, what do you have to say?
Student 2: I got into trouble with the English teacher yesterday. She was furious that I let you copy my work. She even said that I am not your well wisher and that I do not want you to do well in life.
Student 1: What do mean by ‘well wisher’?
Student 2: Well, it got me thinking and now I think she is right.
Student 1: How exactly is she right?
Student 2: Well, if you keep copying homework, you will never learn to do it yourself. And then, during exams, you will be stuck, because then you will not have me around to show you the answers. You could even fail. What will you do then?
Student 1: You are scaring me!
Student 2: No, I am just being honest. You will seriously need to think about it.
Student 1: But, I don’t think I can do my work all by myself.
Student 2: You don’t have to. We can continue to study together. I will help you, but you will need to put in some effort too.
Student 1: It looks like I don’t quite have a choice.
Student 2: Yes you do. You can choose between failing the class altogether or trying to handle your studies yourself.
Student 1: You are right. I am going to start today itself. It will be hard, but I will do it. Thanks. I didn’t realise what I was doing.
Student 2: What are friends for?
