Three criminal cases

A
A 14-year old boy whose favourite pastime was hacking into the confidential computer records of banks and
government organisations was finally caught by the police last week. However, rather than receive a prison
sentence or fine, the child-criminal has now been offered a job with a software developer specialising in anti-
virus programs. The company that made the offer said the boy was very efficient, but one government
minister commented that this kind of offer set a bad example for other youngsters thinking of breaking into
systems. The software company defended its decision saying that the boy has shown real initiative.

B
Do you often think that your town may benefit from more green spaces? If your answer is ‘yes’, then you
might be surprised to hear about the local council in the English town of Blakenthorpe, which is currently
trying to arrest people for ‘planting flowers’. It all began when flowers and plants started appearing at road
sides and areas around the city. The town council has accused ‘Green Vandals’ of doing some ‘midnight
gardening’. One person said, ‘These so-called law-breakers are just doing the job that our local council should
be doing. I wish them the best of luck’.

C
Many criminals are probably ready to deal with alarms or maybe one or two large dogs at the front door but a
thief in Osaka, Japan, had a surprise when he broke into a house where 15 sumo wrestlers were staying the
night. Shiro Morioka, 42, was in the process of looking for something to steal when suddenly the lights went
on. He was horrified to find a group of massive athletes. The police came soon afterwards. He ran to them
and was really happy when they took him away to the safety of a police cell.

Task A : Match the headings to the paragraphs

1 Is it a crime or not? b
2 Take me to prison! c
3 A ‘special’ teenager. a

Task B Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below.

4 The local authorities at Blakenthorpe take good care of the city’s green areas. T F

FALSE

5 One criminal benefited from the crime. T F

 PART B

WRITING 10 marks

Write one composition using 110 to 140 words. Choose either option A or option B and circle the letter
corresponding to your choice.

A- Write a STORY. Begin like this:

‘Everybody was waiting. I felt nervous. In a few minutes, I was going to sing in public for the first time…’

B- You are studying abroad in Bath, England. Write a LETTER to a friend describing the university you are
attending and saying what you like most and what you like least about studying there. Also, mention the
friends you’ve made and what you’ve done/seen in Bath.

____ I am studying abroad in bath, England. The university has very good facilities, it has a library, labs,
photocopy center, gymnasium, radio, stadiums, theater, etc. There are a lot of departments and programs
like accounting, economy, international trade, medicine, etc. in this university I study international trade,
I chose that course of studies because it is more oral than practical, besides in the middle of the degree
they give you the intermediate degree. The classes are long but we have a break in the middle of the class,
the teachers explain everything and what I like the most is that the test is about what we saw in class,
there are no surprises. At university I made friends, we went out, sometimes we studied together and we
sometimes tried to sign up for the same subjects to be together.
