| 1 |
are you a law-abiding person? |
| 2 |
they're robbing a bank and stealing all the money. |
| 3 |
he's just burgled a house and stolen a laptop. |
| 4 |
imaging you were driving and you were late for an appointment, would you exceed the speed limit? |
| 5 |
no way, it's irresponsible and dangerous. |
| 6 |
i'd go over the speed limit if there weren't any speed cameras around. |
| 7 |
i'd definitely break the speed limit. everyone would, wouldn't they? |
| 8 |
suppose a cash machine gave you twice as much money, would you keep it? |
| 9 |
yes, i would. if the bank found out, i could say i didn't count it. |
| 10 |
no, i wouldn't. that would be theft. |
| 11 |
if i really needed it, i might keep it. |
| 12 |
imaging you saw a ten-year-old boy shoplifting, would you tell a security guard? |
| 13 |
yes, i certainly would. it might stop the boy doing it again. |
| 14 |
i'd tell a security guard as long as he/she agreed not to call the police. |
| 15 |
if no one else saw the boy, i'd just tell him to return the things he'd stolen. |
| 16 |
supposing your friend asked you to download a film illegally for him/her, would you do it? |
| 17 |
assuming i didn't want to see it, i'd say no. |
| 18 |
no, i wouldn't, even if he/she got angry with me. |
| 19 |
i wouldn't even do it for myself. |
| 20 |
yes, i would. it's not up to me to judge others. |
| 21 |
if you were driving and your mobile phone rang, would you answer it? |
| 22 |
i'd answer it, but then i'd pull over and stop the car. |
| 23 |
provided there weren't any police cars around, of course i would. |
| 24 |
no, i wouldn't. too many accidents are caused by drivers talking on their mobiles. |
| 25 |
if sb offered you a job in the USA, would you accept it? |
| 26 |
i wouldn't take the job if my family didn't want me to. |
| 27 |
if the pay was/were really good, i'd probably accept the job. |
| 28 |
i might go even if the money was't/weren't very good. |
| 29 |
if they didn't offer me full medical insurance, i wouldn't take the job. |
| 30 |
if i got there and didn't like it, i'd come straight home. |
| 31 |
if we go on holiday, shall we go to Europe? | as long as we go somewhere hot, i don't mind. |
| 32 |
suppose we go to America, would you like that? |
| 33 |
listen, unless i get a tan, i'll be really unhappy. |
| 34 |
providing you sunbathe a lot, you'll certainly get a tan. |
| 35 |
on (the) condition that i can get time off from work, we'll go to America. |
| 36 |
i will accept your apology only if you apologize to the whole class. |
| 37 |
one can rent a flat provided one keeps it clean and doesn't bother neighbors. |
| 38 |
we'll sign the contract providing all the points under discussion are included in it. |
| 39 |
he would be here by now unless he left the home so late and wasn't stuck in a traffic jam. |
| 40 |
imagine she leaves you, what will you do? |
| 41 |
i'll take you to the show providing you finish you homework in time. |
| 42 |
i'd let him have the flat as/so long as he got rid of that dog. |
| 43 |
the Head promised me the post on condition that i took on the school play. |
| 44 |
you could have gone through Minsk, provided you had obtained a visa in advance. |
| 45 |
suppose you found a lottery ticket and it had the winning number, would you collect the money? |
| 46 |
yes, i would, assuming i couldn't find the owner. |
| 47 |
imagine you saw a man being attacked in the street, would you try to help him? |
| 48 |
yes, i might. provided i wasn't alone. |
| 49 |
if/suppose you friend asked you to look after their four cats for a month, would you agree to do it? |
| 50 |
no, i wouldn't, even if they offered to pay me. |
| 51 |
imagine/if your best friend had nowhere to live, would you let him/her come and live with you? |
| 52 |
i'd let him/her stay with me as long as/provided it wasn't for too long. |
| 53 |
if you hit a parked car at 3 a.m., would you leave a note with your phone number? |
| 54 |
imagine you found an expensive camera on a park bench, would you hand it in to the police? |
| 55 |
suppose your company paid you twice for last month's work, would you keep the money? |
| 56 |
if you got home from the supermarket and realised that they hadn't charged you for something, would you take it back? |
| 57 |
imagine you borrowed a friend's laptop and dropped it on the way home, would you tell your friend what happened? |
| 58 |
if you wanted to go to a club but it was full, would you try to bribe the doorman? |
| 59 |
imagine a female friend asked for your opinion about her new hairstyle and you thought it looked terrible, would you tell her the truth? |
| 60 |
supposing you found a copy of the end-of-course exam paper, would you give it back to your teacher without looking at it? |
| 61 |
if a shop assistant gave you too much change, would you give it back? |
| 62 |
suppose a friend asked you to look after his tropical fish and one of the died, would you buy a replacement and not tell him what happened? |
| 63 |
did you hear what happened at the parking lot near here yesterday? |
| 64 |
no, what? | this woman had been shopping and when she went back to the parking lot she saw four men at her car. |
| 65 |
so she took a gun out of her purse and threatened to shoot them. |
| 66 |
did she fire the gun? |
| 67 |
the got out of the car and just ran away, but then -- get this -- when the woman got into the car she realised it wasn't hers. |
| 68 |
her car looked identical but it was parked nearby | poor guys. |
| 69 |
did they get the car back? |
| 70 |
the woman went to cops to confess and when she arrived, the four men were there, reporting the theft of their car. |
| 71 |
was she charged with anything? | no, no one was hurt. |
| 72 |
but if she'd shot the man she'd have been in serious trouble. |
| 73 |
no charge. that's ridiculous. she threatened them with a gun. |
| 74 |
if the men hadn't run away she could have killed them. | yes, but no one was hurt , Arnie. |
| 75 |
that's not the point. the point is there are 80 million people in this country carrying guns. |
| 76 |
well, 300 million guns to be precise. and that doesn't include even illegal ones. |
| 77 |
and you don't even need a permit to buy one. |
| 78 |
Arnie's rant about guns again. |
| 79 |
and by the way you do need a permit in the state of New York. |
| 80 |
but Arnie's right. you don't need a permit in most states. |
| 81 |
Chuck, i agree. people have the rights to defends themselves and their property, but we've got a serious problem here. |
| 82 |
just the other day, a guy in our street was arrested for shooting the tyres of a car which was parked outside his apartment, just because the alarm kept going off in the night. |
| 83 |
well, i wouldn't have been too happy if the alarm had woken me up. |
| 84 |
they drive you crazy. |
| 85 |
but you wouldn't have shot the tyres. | no, of course not. |
| 86 |
if it had been me i might have left a note on the car or sth. |
| 87 |
what happened to him? | not sure. |
| 88 |
i think the got him for vandalism and he, had to pay a fine, or sth. |
| 89 |
and what would he have done if he'd actually seen the owner of the car? |
| 90 |
i mean, the guy with the gun was seriously angry. |
| 91 |
yeah, well, we'll never know. |
| 92 |
but i bet Arnie would have locked him up and thrown away the key. |
| 93 |
most crimes are committed by young men. |
| 94 |
a man are being held on suspicion of conspiracy to commit armed robbery. |
| 95 |
he was released when the judge ruled there was no evidence against him. |
| 96 |
my car was out of order. i didn't drive her there ~ if my car hadn't been out of order, i would have driven her there. |
| 97 |
she didn't give me her phone number. i couldn't call her ~ if she'd given me her phone number, i could have called her. |
| 98 |
he was at work. he couldn't go with us ~ if he hadn't been at work, he could have gone with us. |
| 99 |
my dad didn't buy any sugar. my mum didn't make any cake ~ if my dad had bought some sugar, my mum would have made some cake. |
| 100 |
i travelled round the world because i had won the lottery ~ i wouldn't have travelled round the world if i hadn't won the lottery. |
| 101 |
we didn't have enough money. we couldn't afford to eat in restaurants ~ if we'd had enough money, we could have afford to eat in restaurants. |
| 102 |
you were not prepared. you couldn't pass the exam ~ if you'd been prepared, you could have passed the exam. |
| 103 |
i came back home late because i worked long hours ~ i wouldn't have come back home late if i hadn't worked long hours. |
| 104 |
i was so young. i had no experience ~ if i hadn't been so young, i would have had some experience. |
| 105 |
they didn't go on holiday. they didn't have any rest ~ if they had gone on holiday, they would have had some rest. |
| 106 |
you didn't know what to do because you hadn't listened to me ~ you would have known what to do if you had listened to me. |
| 107 |
i couldn't help you because i was ill ~ i could have helped you if i hadn't fallen ill. |
| 108 |
i didn't apply for the job. provided that i had been offered the position, i would have had to move to New York. |
| 109 |
i asked about the way. but if i hadn't had the GPS, i wouldn't have found the place. |
| 110 |
we were on the beach all day. but if we had kept in the shade, we wouldn't have got sunburnt. |
| 111 |
we didn't see the film. suppose our dad hadn't preferred the football match, we would have watched the film. |
| 112 |
she got up at 5 o'clock. she might have missed the train if she'd got up later. |
| 113 |
my new classmates were friendly. if my teachers had behaved in a friendly manner too, i would have liked the new school. |
| 114 |
i never ate sushi in Japan. i was afraid that i would have felt sick if i had tried it. |
| 115 |
you couldn't believe Jill. if you'd told her a secret, she would have given it away. |
| 116 |
did they want you to work overtime? they could have asked you to do it on condition that they had paid you a bonus. |
| 117 |
it might have been better if i had taken the bus to Juliet's party last night. |
| 118 |
if Mary had told me she was going, i could have asked her for a lift. |
| 119 |
i wouldn't have parked in the street if i'd known there were car thieves in the area. |
| 120 |
if i hadn't left my car unlocked, the thieves mightn't have stolen it. |
| 121 |
if Mary hadn't given me a lift home, i don't know where i would have stayed. |
| 122 |
my parents would have been very worried if i hadn't come home last night. |
| 123 |
some years ago in Poulsbo, Washington, two men tried to rob a gas station. |
| 124 |
they told the salesgirl to empty all the money from the cash register into a bag. |
| 125 |
but they didn't realise that they were only eight dollars in it. |
| 126 |
they drove away with the money. |
| 127 |
soon got lost because they weren't from that town and they didn't have a map. |
| 128 |
they finally drove into a gas station to get directions. |
| 129 |
unfortunately for them they'd driven back into the same gas station. |
| 130 |
the salesgirl had already called the police, who were interviewing her when the robbers returned. |
| 131 |
how much money did the robbers steal? |
| 132 |
why did they get lost? |
| 133 |
where did they end up? |
| 134 |
why had they gone there? |
| 135 |
what do you think happened to the robbers? |
| 136 |
supposing you realised your young son had accidentally left a shop holding a $25 toy, would you take it back? | yes, i might. as long as it wasn't too far away. |
| 137 |
if you broke sth expensive in a shop and no one saw you, would you tell anyone? | never. unless i knew they didn't charge me for it. |
| 138 |
would you approach a group of teenagers if you saw them vandalising sth near your house? | definitely. even if they looked threatening. |
| 139 |
i can't stand vandalism. |
| 140 |
imagine you hit a car in a car park and there were no witnesses. would you leave a note? | of course. assuming the other car was damaged. |
| 141 |
suppose you were very hungry in the supermarket and you ate sth while you were walking around, would you pay for it at the checkout? | yes, unless i forgot about it, of course. |
| 142 |
suppose you heard a good CD at your friend's house. would you ask him to make a copy or buy it yourself? |
| 143 |
i would usually buy my own copy. provided i could find it in the shops, of course. |
| 144 |
if Dave had known when your flight was, he could have picked you up. |
| 145 |
government figures out today show that the cost of keeping a person in prison for one year has risen to $40000 and all our prisons are overcrowded. |
| 146 |
so what can we do to reduce the prison population? |
| 147 |
to discuss this question we have chief superintendent David Gilbert and member of parliament Margaret Bolton. |
| 148 |
you believe we send far too many people in prison. is that right? | absolutely. |
| 149 |
the figures speak for themselves. |
| 150 |
there are about 95 000 prisoners in the UK at the moment. |
| 151 |
and that costs about 3.8 billion pounds a year of taxpayers' money. |
| 152 |
and most of the people we send to prison. |
| 153 |
not all, but most are in for theft or other minor crimes. |
| 154 |
these people would be much better off in programmes which could help them find work and become useful members of society. |
| 155 |
so you think we shouldn't give prison sentences for minor crimes? |
| 156 |
last year, 60 000 people were sentenced to less than a year for minor crimes. |
| 157 |
most of those only spent about 45 days in prison and that works out at a cost of over $4000 per prison. |
| 158 |
it would be much cheaper to retrain these people and find them jobs. |
| 159 |
after all, 60% of short term offenders commit another crime within a year. |
| 160 |
and David Gilbert. do you agree with Margaret Bolton? |
| 161 |
well, of course, i agree we have to reduce the prison population, that's obvious. |
| 162 |
and i agree we have to stop criminals reoffending. |
| 163 |
i believe we need some sort of deterrent. |
| 164 |
sth that we'll make criminals think twice before they offend again. |
| 165 |
so what's your solution to the problem? |
| 166 |
i think we should introduce a system they use in the USA, called the 3 strikes law. |
| 167 |
which, put simply, means that if someone is found guilty on three different occasions, they're automatically sentenced to anywhere from 25 years to life in prison. |
| 168 |
no matter what the crime is? |
| 169 |
in most states it's really only for serious violent crimes. |
| 170 |
but, as i said, it's a good deterrent. |
| 171 |
if you've already been in prison twice and you know that if you go before a judge again and you're found guilty, you'll go to prison for life. |
| 172 |
you'd probably think twice before committing a third offence. |
| 173 |
i've dealt with people who re-offended 48 times. |
| 174 |
they steal. they go to prison for a very short time. |
| 175 |
the come out and do the same things again immediately. |
| 176 |
we may as well have revolving doors in our prisons. |
| 177 |
but the three strike system doesn't work. |
| 178 |
i'd like to know what evidence Margaret has for saying that. |
| 179 |
plenty, the prison population in the US is 2.3 million. |
| 180 |
and the US spends 68 billion dollars a year on prisons. |
| 181 |
in my local corner shop a few weeks ago, i mentioned having an unwanted TV to the owner, Rizza. |
| 182 |
his normally bored face lit up. |
| 183 |
within ten minutes we were back at my flat, apologising to my wife for the noise - it was late - as we dragged an ancient tv out of the loft. |
| 184 |
it really is quite old. |
| 185 |
Rizza insisted on taking it, saying it was perfect for the shop. |
| 186 |
i assumed he meant for entertainment during quiet periods. |
| 187 |
a few days later, i was in Rizza's shop again and i spotted our old tv. |
| 188 |
on the screen i saw a picture of myself. |
| 189 |
"security cameras," Rizza announced, "to catch shoplifters". |
| 190 |
i look around the shop. |
| 191 |
it's a tiny place. |
| 192 |
only a magician could succeed in taking anything without being seen. |
| 193 |
Rizza's decision to install closed-circuit television (CCTV) is not unusual. |
| 194 |
the number of CCTV cameras throughout the UK has been estimated as high as four million. |
| 195 |
however, recent research, based on the number of cameras in an average town, thinks is closer to two million. |
| 196 |
you don't need to apply to anyone for permission to install a CCTV camera. |
| 197 |
so, they are everywhere: from busy shopping centres to the quietest corners of public parks. |
| 198 |
most British people support CCTV. |
| 199 |
it makes areas feel safer, they say. |
| 200 |
it discourages crime and helps to solve it, they add. |
| 201 |
if you've ever seen CCTV images of a criminal on the news, it's hard to disagree. |
| 202 |
however, many others are not convinced of its effectiveness. |
| 203 |
there is no clear evidence that CCTV stops criminals from committing crimes. |
| 204 |
opponents also worry about the issue of personal privacy. |
| 205 |
a few years ago Geoffrey Peck felt unable to cope with his life. |
| 206 |
he attempted suicide in a British street and he was spotted by a CCTV camera. |
| 207 |
the police were called and fortunately he survived. |
| 208 |
however, the picture were shown on TV - to approximately nine million viewers. |
| 209 |
Geoffrey's face was clearly visible. |
| 210 |
he complained to the police about this and was awarded $7000 compensation. |
| 211 |
i passed my local shop again the next week. |
| 212 |
Rizza was repairing the glass door with his son. |
| 213 |
neither of them looked very happy. |
| 214 |
"thieves broke in last night," he explained. |
| 215 |
have you watched the CCTV yet? |
| 216 |
there are no CCTV pictures. |
| 217 |
he turned the camera off when he left the shop last night. |
| 218 |
they named the law after the three strikes rule in baseball where the person batting is allowed two strikes (he can miss two balls). |
| 219 |
but on the third strike he is out. |
| 220 |
the three strikes law is based on the same principle. |
| 221 |
three convictions and you're taken out of society. |
| 222 |
twenty-six states in the USA have the three strikes law, but each state has its own interpretation of what it means. |
| 223 |
some states say the three convictions must all involve violent crimes for the three strikes to apply. |
| 224 |
however, California is different from most other states. |
| 225 |
they insist on giving life sentences for any third conviction. |
| 226 |
some studies found that nationally there has been very little difference in the number of re-offenders since the laws were first used in the early 90s. |
| 227 |
other studies suggest that it does stop criminals from re-offendingd. |
| 228 |
the number of murders in Los Angeles, California, fell from 1000 in 1992 to 297 in 2010. |
| 229 |
but these figures do not convince everyone of the law's effectiveness. |
| 230 |
Leandro Andrade stole five children's video tapes from a K-Mart store in Ontario, California. |
| 231 |
two weeks later he was caught stealing four more video tapes from a different store. |
| 232 |
such offences would normally be seen as quite minor. |
| 233 |
but because Andrade had previous convictions for theft and burglary he was sentenced to 25 years to life, twice. |
| 234 |
each theft of video tapes counted as a separate 'strike'. |
| 235 |
his family have protested against his punishment and worry about how he'll cope with his sentence. |
| 236 |
to date Andrade has lost every appeal he's made. |
| 237 |
Jerry Williams and a friend stole a slice of pepperoni pizza from a group of children on the Redondo Beach pier, Los Angeles. |
| 238 |
the friend got away but Williams was arrested after the pizza shop owner called the police. |
| 239 |
because Williams had previous convictions for robbery and car theft he was sentenced to 25 years to life. |
| 240 |
William's lawyers complained to the State Supreme Court about the severity of the sentence and succeeded in persuading the judges to reduce the sentence to six years, which he served. |
| 241 |
Santos Reyes was sentenced to 26 years to life for taking the written part of a Californian driving test for his cousin, who could drive but couldn't read. |
| 242 |
Reye's cousin desperately needed the license to help him find work. |
| 243 |
when Reyes apologised to the court for falsifying the name on the test, he had no idea the judge was about to sentence him to life. |
| 244 |
Reyes had two previous strikes -- a juvenile burglary charge for stealing a radio and later a robbery a charge. |
| 245 |
Reye's lawyer applied to the court for a retrial. |
| 246 |
Reyes lost this appeal. |

--------- |
| 267 |
i'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. |
| 268 |
i've only just got your message. |
| 269 |
are you ok? you sounded in a terrible state. |
| 270 |
would you like me to come round? |
| 271 |
no, it's ok, but thanks for offering. |
| 272 |
i feel much calmer now i've spoken to the police. |
| 273 |
how did that go? | well, they were here for about two hours and they were very thorough. |
| 274 |
and they told me how i can make the place more secure - new locks and things. |
| 275 |
i'll get those for you if you like. |
| 276 |
no, thanks. i'd better get them myself. i know exactly what's needed. |
| 277 |
did they get much? | the police? | no, the burglars. |
| 278 |
well, they emptied my jewellery box. |
| 279 |
they took my cash and my ipod. |
| 280 |
but the worst thing was. they took my laptop. |
| 281 |
did you back everything up? |
| 282 |
said like i a true IT person, Tina, yes i did. |
| 283 |
well, when you get a new computer, let me sort that out for you. |
| 284 |
oh, brilliant. thanks. that'd be a great help. |
| 285 |
are you sure, you wouldn't mind? | no, it won't take me long. |
| 286 |
anyway, what else did the police say? |
| 287 |
they said they're not very hopeful about finding whoever it was. |
| 288 |
they found lots of fingerprints. |
| 289 |
whatever it is the police use on the fingerprints leaves a really greasy mark on everything. |
| 290 |
it's going to take ages to clean it off. |
| 291 |
would it help if i did that for you? | no, that's ok. i can manage. |
| 292 |
well, if you're sure. | yes, it's ok. |
| 293 |
anyway, enough about me. |
| 294 |
how are things with you? |
| 295 |
when are you off to see your new man in Prague? |
| 296 |
well, i was supposed to be going on Friday, but i'm not sure, i can go now. |
| 297 |
i can't found anyone to house-sit and look after the dog. |
