Lena had only five minutes left to choose her topic for the final presentation. Without hesitation, she picked “Climate Change in Our Region” and said, “That’s it, I’m doing this one. Let’s get started.” 2. When his classmate asked what he thought of her essay, Daniel said, “Honestly? The introduction’s a bit weak, and I don’t think you actually answered the question.” His classmate was upset, but Daniel just shrugged and said, “You asked, so I told you the truth.” 3. Emma told her classmate, “Wow, your presentation was amazing! I loved every slide, seriously.” But the moment the classmate walked away, Emma turned to her friend and muttered, “That was actually so boring. I don’t know how she got such a good mark.” 4. During the group project meeting, three classmates suggested changing the topic because it was too difficult. Ben wouldn’t budge. “No way, we’re sticking with my idea,” he said, and just carried on working by himself, ignoring everyone else’s opinion. 5. Instead of asking his classmate directly for help with the homework, Jack first complimented her new phone, then went on about how exhausted he was after football practice, and finally sighed, “Guess I’ll just fail tomorrow’s test then.” His classmate didn’t realise what he was really after and offered to help him. 6. Everyone told Sophie that passing the advanced maths exam after failing it twice was impossible. But she studied every evening for three months, kept asking her teacher extra questions, and finally passed with one of the highest marks in her year. 7. After winning the school debate competition, Chris told his teammates, “Let’s be real, we only won because of me.
