Answer: A group discussion with an opening, varied points from each participant, polite agreement/disagreement and a conclusion.

Topic : Tree Plantation Programme
Participants : Amit, Sneha, Rahul, Pooja

Amit : Friends, our college planted 500 saplings last week. Let us discuss how meaningful this programme really is.
Sneha : I think it was a wonderful step. Trees give us oxygen, reduce pollution and bring rain. With rising temperatures, we need more green cover.
Rahul : I agree, Sneha, but planting is only half the work. Many saplings die within a month because nobody waters them.
Pooja : That is a valid point, Rahul. So we should form groups of students and give each group the responsibility of a few saplings.
Amit : Good idea! We can also tag each tree with the name of the student who adopted it. That will create a sense of ownership.
Sneha : We should also choose native trees like neem, banyan and peepal, which need less water and support birds.
Rahul : And we can involve the NSS unit and nearby residents so that the work continues during vacations.
Pooja : So, to conclude, tree plantation is very useful, but its success depends on caring for the saplings until they grow into trees.
All : Let us not just plant trees — let us grow them!
