Think of a realistic scenario in which you have discussed a problem at school with friends. Maybe the sports equipment is worn out or lunch break is too short because of the busy schedule. Write a plan for three conversations, adjusting your language appropriately. Write out what you would say to your friends about the problem, using colloquial language.

Next, imagine talking to your parent(s) about the same problem. Write out what you would say.

Now, write out what you would say to the principal.

Finally, imagine that the principal is convinced and schedules you to speak at the next school board meeting. Write out your speech (no more than one-half page).

Selected scenario: The library collection is old and out of date.

Explanation:

Talking to friends: We have to complain about the library collection to someone. It is impossible to do research with books so outdated and with information that nobody cares because they are too candles. I'm going to ask my parents what we can do.

Talking to parents: Whenever we need to do research using the books in the library is a problem, because they are too old and not up to date information, the research is not efficient that way. What do you think I can do to solve this problem? Because it seems that few people are caring.

Talking to the principal: Sir, I hope you understand that our academic growth is hampering this type of problem at our school. Even though we can search for information using the internet, the presence of books and magazines for academic work is essential and that is why I think the library's collection should be updated.

Speech: I believe that all board members feel responsible for the type and relevance of the information that we are absorbing during our academic growth, within this school. You, like us students, want the same thing, to train qualified citizens, ready to occupy great positions in our country and honor the name of our school. This will only be possible if we have access to an education, in fact, efficient, relevant and current. And because of this responsibility that I come today, to speak with the ladies and gentlemen present here, about the need to renew the library's collection with current academic books and magazines with relevant scientific information and related to our present, so we will be able to build in a correct, our future.
