Question

Write down the conversation between Fred and his friend Andrew.

Answer

  • Fred: Someone has stolen my car. I shouldn't have parked it so far from my house last night.
  • Andrew: Are you sure? Maybe you have simply forgotten where you parked it.
  • Fred: I have my doubts. If I had parked it in the garage, I wouldn't have had any problem. That's unfair! If I knew who had stolen it, I'd call the police to arrest them and put them in jail!
  • Andrew: That's a bit stiff! I'm against prison. I think wrongdoers need counselling to help them see / realise the effects of what they've done.
  • Fred: I don't agree. I believe community service is a better punishment for minor thefts, but not for stealing cars.
  • Andrew: I think community service might work for many crimes, but you also need counselling.
