Title: "The Language Puzzle"
Characters:
1. Rahul – A student who is excellent in English but prefers speaking in Hindi.
2. Neha – Rahul's friend who always speaks in English.
3. Aman – A student who mixes both Hindi and English.
4. Teacher (Mrs. Sharma) – A supportive but strict teacher who encourages students to speak English.
5. Principal (Mr. Desai) – A humorous principal who adds some fun to the situation.
Scene: (Students are in the school courtyard, chatting before the teacher enters.)
Rahul: (in Hindi) "Yaar, kal ke exam ki tayari kaisi chal rahi hai?"
Aman: (mixing Hindi and English) "Bhai, thodi der pada tha, then thoda TV dekha. Arre yaar, sab tension hai!"
Neha: (in English) "Come on, guys! We are in J.D.C. Bytco English Medium High School, why don't we speak in English?"
Rahul: (jokingly) "Arre Neha, tension mat le! English toh aati hai, but Hindi feels so much better!"
Aman: (laughing) "Exactly! Who needs English all the time?"
(Suddenly, Mrs. Sharma enters. Everyone quickly straightens up.)
Mrs. Sharma: (in a serious tone) "Good morning, students! What is this I hear? This is an English Medium School, but all I hear is Hindi and a bit of Hinglish! How will you improve if you don’t practice?"
Rahul: (defensively) "But ma'am, we know English! We just don’t feel like using it all the time."
Mrs. Sharma: (light-heartedly) "Oh really? Let's see. How would you order food at a restaurant in English?"
Rahul: (nervously) "Uh... 'Waiter, ek masala dosa aur chai dena!'"
(Everyone bursts into laughter.)
Neha: (teasing) "See? That's why we need to speak English more often!"
Mrs. Sharma: "Exactly, Neha! Communication is key, and in this globalized world, English opens so many doors."
Aman: (trying to be funny) "But ma'am, our door is already open!"
Mrs. Sharma: (smiling) "Aman, I meant opportunities! The more you practice speaking English, the more confident you’ll be."
(Suddenly, the Principal, Mr. Desai, walks in with a huge smile.)
Principal: "What’s going on here? Is this a comedy show or a language class?"
Neha: "We’re trying to convince Rahul and Aman to speak more in English, sir."
Principal: "Oh, Rahul! You’re a bright student, aren't you? Imagine this – someday you'll be giving a speech to thousands, and you'll need to impress them in English. Think about how cool that would be!"
Rahul: (thinking aloud – soliloquy) "Hmm... Maybe they’re right. I do love English, but I just feel more comfortable in Hindi. But... English will help me in so many ways. If I speak more in English now, I’ll be ready for the future. I guess I should give it a try. It’s not like Hindi’s going anywhere, right?"
Aman: "But sir, what if we make mistakes? Won't people laugh?"
Principal: (cheerfully) "Aman, everyone makes mistakes! I still mix up words sometimes. It's about learning and improving. Plus, English is a fun language! Just dive in and enjoy!"
Neha: (encouraging) "You can start small! Let’s make a pact. From now on, whenever we’re in school, we’ll speak only in English."
Mrs. Sharma: "Yes! That’s the spirit. From class discussions to even casual conversations – English should be your go-to language here at J.D.C. Bytco English Medium High School."
Rahul: (enthusiastically) "Alright! I’m in. Starting today, I’m going to speak in English. No more excuses!"
Aman: "Okay, I’ll try too. But Neha, if I slip into Hindi, you’ll remind me, right?"
Neha: (laughing) "I’ll give you a penalty! Every time you speak in Hindi, you’ll have to sing an English song."
Aman: (panicking) "Oh no, not that! Okay, okay! English it is!"
Principal: "That’s the spirit! Now, let’s create an English atmosphere in this school and make it a habit to communicate in English!"
(Everyone cheers and starts walking off, chatting in English.)
Rahul: "Hey Neha, what did you think of that English movie we watched last week?"
Neha: (smiling) "See? You're already doing great!"
(Everyone laughs as they exit the stage.)
Mrs. Sharma: (addressing the audience) "Remember, students, English is not just for exams. It’s a tool for the future. The more you use it, the better you’ll become. Let's make J.D.C. Bytco English Medium High School the place where English thrives!"
(The curtains close.)
