Late to school again? Well here's how to make excuses so you don't get detention!
1. Tell yourself what the situation is :This will help with coming up with the excuse. Let's say you forgot your homework. The old dog-ate-my-homework excuse isn't going to work. It has to be something more natural. Something that could really happen, something reasonable.
2. Build up the excuse :If possible, blame it on someone else.
E.g :- "My parents were invited to a family party and I had to go."
"When I came home from school yesterday, I found out my dog was sick, and we had to take him to the vet."
3. Play it cool- stay calm. Speak naturally and calmly, but still with expression. Whoever you're speaking to will think this is really true only if you pretend it actually happened. Acting skills come in handy here!
Tips: Try not to say "umm" or "errrm" too much.
Make sure your excuse isn't too far-fetched. Don't stray too far from the real reason. If at all possible, make it something that can't be checked easily. Make sure that you know who you're making an excuse to. If you say something like "I had to go to a family meeting" to your mum, of course it won't work. Don't use the same one too often. People will start to realize it's fake when you use it over and over again.
Keep on making mischief!
