2. Are you ready for the literature test?
I hope so.

3. Oh boy, I hope this test isn’t too hard…

4. Good morning boys and girls. I will now begin to pass out the tests.

6. Elena, are you talking during a test?!
Oh… Yeah, I was just thinking of an ans-
Is something wrong with her?
Olivia, are you okay?
Elena, are you talking during a test?!

7. I guess I was talking during a test, but it was for a good reason
I guess I was talking during a test, but it was for a good reason. Wasn’t it?

8. SHE’S LYING! She did answer me.
Elena, talking during a test is unacceptable. I’m not accusing you of cheating, but I still have to punish you for breaking the rules – no talking during a test…
Um…Yes, but I was just asking Olivia if she was okay. She looked like she might be sick, and I was done with my test, just about to turn it in.
No.
We’ll talk about it after lunch.
Olivia, did you answer her?

9. I’ve never gotten a detention before. I’m a good student.
Is Mrs. Taylor really going to give me a detention?
She can’t…

10. I’m sorry. I know that you’re a good student, Elena, but if I let you get away with talking during a test, everyone will think they can do the same.
I can’t believe this…

11. Mrs. Taylor was right. I broke the rules, and I had to be punished for
that. Other people might lie, but the right thing to do is to take responsibility for my actions. I’ll serve my detention tomorrow…
But if I had to do it all over again, I would still ask Olivia if she was okay. If I think someone needs my help, I am going to try to help them, no matter what.
