Read the situation.
Your friend Martin has a problem. Bob, a
student in Martin's class, invited Martin to go to a concert. Martin said
"yes," but now he doesn't want to go. He wants to stay home. But he's
afraid Bob will be upset.
Martin asks you, "What should I
do?"
Should he lie to Bob, tell the truth or go with
him?
Write your advice to Martin in six to ten sentences.

TS: You’d better go to the concert and enjoy it
with Bob as you promised
if you want to be a good friend with him.
SS-1: You made a promise to your friend when you
accepted his invitation to the concert.
<=
Would you like to break a promise you made yourself to your dear
friend?
<= He will
not be happy if you change your mind because he must be looking forward to
going to the concert with you.
<= And I would assume you’ll feel bad if you break a promise or tell him a lie.
SS-2: Also, you said you now prefer staying home but you
never know how exciting or enjoyable
the concert might be.
<= You can
stay home and listen to music anytime you like
but you can’t enjoy the excitement you may experience at the concert
there.
CS: I’d strongly suggest that
you should go and enjoy the concert
with your friend as you promised.
I’m sure you’ll have a great time and feel good after
all.
