Tuli: I have a shortcut way. I may copy in the exam.

Arpan: Copying! That is a very bad idea. It is dishonest and harmful.

High-Scoring Version

Arpan: Hello, Tuli. How are you?

Tuli: I am not feeling well. What about you?

Arpan: I am fine. But you look worried. What is the matter?

Tuli: I failed in several subjects in the last exam, and my parents scolded me. Now another exam is knocking at the door.

Arpan: I am sorry to hear that. Have you started preparing for the exam?

Tuli: Not properly. Study seems boring to me. But I have found a shortcut way to pass.

Arpan: What do you mean by shortcut way?

Tuli: I am thinking of copying in the exam.

Arpan: Copying! That is a very wrong decision. It is dishonest, risky, and harmful for your future.

Tuli: But I only want to pass the exam.

Arpan: Passing by copying is not real success. It does not give you knowledge or confidence.

Tuli: But many students copy and pass.

Arpan: That may happen sometimes, but it is dangerous. If an invigilator or a magistrate catches you, you may be expelled from the exam.

Tuli: Expelled from the exam? That would be terrible.

Arpan: Yes. It will bring shame to you and your family. It may also damage your school record.

Tuli: I never thought about it so seriously.

Arpan: Copying also kills your talent. It spoils your creative power and makes you dependent on others.

Tuli: But I am weak in some subjects.

Arpan: Being weak is not a crime. But cheating is wrong. You can improve if you study regularly.

Tuli: What should I do now?

Arpan: Make a short routine, revise important topics, practise writing, and ask your teachers for help.

Tuli: Do you think I still have time?

Arpan: Yes, you do. If you start today, you can improve and pass honestly.

Tuli: Thank you for opening my eyes.

Arpan: You are welcome. Always remember, honest effort is better than false success.

Tuli: I promise I will not copy in the exam.

Arpan: That is a wise decision. I wish you success.
