So I would like to talk about a time that I helped my classmate, who is also my close friend. His name is Nam, and I am currently studying in high school in Hanoi. Last Monday, on 3rd June 2025, in the morning around 9 AM, we had a science exam, which was the end-term test. This was very important for both of us. About a week before the exam, my teacher gave me a revision sheet that contained questions and answers. We just had to do the tasks and try to remember the answers in a clear and effective way. One day before the exam, he said he had tried to thoroughly revise the answers so he could remember all of them. I also asked him some questions about the revision, and he answered all of them. At that time, I trusted him and believed that he could get a mark of 10 out of 10 on the exam. However, when I was taking the exam, he forgot the answers. I don't know the reason, but he asked me for help. I just showed him the answers, so he could respond. I know we were cheating, but we are friends, so I felt I had to do that. Afterward, I felt a bit uncomfortable because I had a good intention to help during the exam, but I felt conflicted.
