Candidate A – Hi Nidhi ! How are you?

Candidate B – Hello, Preeti I am fine.

Candidate A – Well, where do you go in evening?

Candidate B – Oh ! I go to Riya’s house to study but….

Candidate A – But ! What’s the matter?

Candidate B – Oh ! We do our homework together because she insists that we should do homework together but I have noticed that she just copies my work.

Candidate A – Ah ! That’s wrong. You must point it to her.

Candidate B – I want to say this to her but I am afraid that she may feel embarrassed.

Candidate A – But if she continues to do so, she will not lean anything herself and will become depended on others.

Candidate B – I don’t want to make her feel bad but at the same time I don’t want that this should continue.

Candidate A – Then you will have to speak to her. A true friend never allows her friends take up bad habits. You must tell her what is proper and what’s not.

Candidate B – Yes you are right, I will speak to her.

Candidate A – Doing homework together is a good thing but she must contribute her ideas also.  You may take help from her parents or some common friends.

Candidate B – Yes, that will be more helpful. But I am afraid she may get annoyed.

Candidate A – Don’t worry about her annoyance. Do what is correct for her.

Candidate B – Ok ! I will speak to her. Thank you for showing me the right path.

Candidate A – Ok !
