2. Read the paragraph. Decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
Last week, Lan couldn't finish her assignment on time, so she wanted to copy my work. I wouldn't help her. I'd advise her to speak to the teacher to get more time for the assignment. The teacher could understand her situation and see that being late isn't her fault I think it's unfair for me to help her because each of us should do our own assignment. It could be hard, but it is necessary for us to understand and remember the information. If I did the assignment for my friend, she wouldn't understand the lessons. When an exam comes and she gets a low score because she hasn't done this assignment, it will be partly my fault, too.
a. The writer would help their friend to talk to the teacher. _______
b. The friend will have more time for the assignment. _______
c. The writer thinks it is difficult to do their own assignment. _______
d. The friend wouldn't understand the lessons if she didn't do the assignment herself. _______
e. It may be the writer's fault when the friend gets a low score on an exam. _______
3. Write a short paragraph of 100-120 words about a time you were asked to help another person. Use the paragraph in 2 as a model.
