"Play truant" = Trốn học/trốn tiết.

Ví dụ
A positive point is that on being asked to pay £10 many of the would-be-demonstrators would melt away. Would parents allow their children to play truant if they had to pay £10? Last year’s demonstrations in London cost the Metropolitan police £40million. Why should the taxpayer pay for demonstrators hell-bent on destroying not only the economy but civilisation as we know it today to revert to pre-industrial times?

Coronavirus is probably a little too cuddly, suggesting it might have mutant strains called vimtovirus and fantavirus. Of course ministers and NHS chiefs are right to take sensible precautions. The problem is there’s no joined-up thinking here. Schools are closing across the country, but on Friday thousands of kids were allowed to play truant so they could huddle together in Bristol to hear that preposterous (ngớ ngẩn, phi lý) Greta child screeching about how the earth is on fire — oblivious to the torrential rain which turned College Green into a quagmire (tình trạng sa lầy).

The West Bengal State Election Commission (WBSEC) is likely to announce poll dates for the 110 civic bodies across the state by mid-March, in what many see as an electoral semifinal before the high-stakes assembly elections next year. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) led by chief minister Mamata Banerjee is preparing in earnest, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) snapping at its heels. And to ensure that leaders don’t play truant, News18.com has learnt that the ruling party’s poll strategist Prashant Kishor has decided to issue barcoded (gắn mã vạch) entry cards for meetings.
