Now, look at the screen. You’ll see an extract from the film “Oliver Twist” (Оливер знакомится с Доджером).

3) What does Dodger D. steal?

 4) Where does Dodger D. steal?

5) Why does Dodger D. steal?

7) Is Oliver his friend?                                    

8) How old are they?

10) Is Oliver a thief?

11) Do you think he will become a thief?

(Можно показать отрывок из любого другого детективного фильма, известного учащимся, на английском языке.)

2. Right you are. Oliver won’t become a thief. He will be lucky enough to lead another life.

But there are a lot of criminals around us. Maybe that’s why they show too many detective films on TV and publish a lot of detective books and news. Look at some of them, please.

Можно на экране показать какие-нибудь картинки, соответствующие теме выступления.

A. When Tina Bowles was arrested by the police and charged with burglary it came as a shock to the neighbourhood. Tina was a well-respected woman in her early forties.  At the trial the prosecutor presented an amazing amount of evidence. It was proved that she was a member of a gang which had broken into the homes of many rich people and stolen their valuables. Tina was sentenced to ten years in prison.

B. Raymond Burles tried to rob a bank. He pointed a gun at the cashier and told him to hand over the money. Burles put 4000 into his bag and zipped it up.

7. You’re right. And I was a witness of a shoplifting today. I was in the shop round the corner. You know. And I saw an old woman shoplifting sweets! I was so astonished! A respectable-looking lady! But she was stealing sweets!

14. You’re right. If you open a newspaper or switch on the TV, you’ll only hear criminal news.
15. Well. By the way, have you…. Oh, stop, thief, thief!

У девушки, которая сидит одна, молодой человек ворует кошелек. Одна из подруг становится свидетельницей.

6. Now we’ll try to help to the investigator. Our task is to create a photofit.

7.  The role-play “In the Court”.

Prosecutor:  Your Honour. This man is accused of having stolen money from this woman’s bag. This happened on the 7th of July in the café ‘Welcome’ at 2.20. The woman was sitting at the table and drinking her coffee. She was listening to music and paid no attention to anything around. That man opened her bag and took her purse. Two women were sitting at the next table. One of them is a witness. She saw the man and told the police his about distinctive marks.  He was caught in a few days. Then the woman recognized him. Now he is in front of you.

Judge: Thank you Mr. Prosecutor. Is your witness here?

Prosecutor:  Yes, your honor. Please, summon Mrs. Crake.

Policeman:  Mrs. Crake, you are summoned to give your testimony on the subject.

Judge: Swear to tell the truth

Witness: I swear to tell the truth, and  nothing but the truth.

Judge: What did you see?

Witness: Your Honour. You see, I was in a café with my friend. We were talking and drinking coffee when I saw a man taking something out of this woman’s bag.

Judge: Did you see what it was?

Witness:  No, but I guess it was a purse. But I’m not sure. It was something small and leather.

Judge: Are you sure that it was this man?

Witness:  Of course. I saw him quite clearly. He has got a tattoo on his arm. Yes. I’m sure it was him.

Judge: Thanks a lot. You can take your seat.  And now the word is passed on to a defense lawyer. What can you say to defend your client.

Lawyer: Your honour. My client is guilty, of course. It has been proved. He confessed to stealing money. The witness Mrs Crake recognized him. But, Your Honour. I want to pay attention to the circumstances which forced my client to do it. His parents died in a car crash half a year ago. He lives alone. This man is only 18 years old. He tried to find a work during this period but nobody wants to have such young man as a worker. The money which he had after his parents death ran out a month ago. No money, no work, nobody to help him. He was desperate. Your honour it’s his first offence. And he’s only 18. Please take this into account.

Judge: Thanks. The word is passed on to the accused.

Accused: Miss, forgive me please. Your Honour, forgive me please.

Judge: Is that all you have to say?

Accused: Yes, Ma’am.

Judge: In this case, thanks both sides. We are leaving to make a decision.

Now while the judge is making  a decision, you’ll hear what cases will be listened to in the court next. (На экране можно показать картинки, соответствующие теме высказывания.)

1) This woman kidnapped a baby outside a shop. She didn’t hurt the baby. She looked after him very well. She was married and wanted a baby but couldn’t have one. The police found her three days after the kidnap and returned the baby to his parents.

2) This woman is a forger. She forged several paintings and sold them for a lot of money. She comes from a rich family and she doesn’t need any money. She said that she did it because she was bored. The police caught her after the fourth painting.

(Продолжение суда)

Policeman: Stand up everybody. The judge is coming. Sit down.

Judge:  Taking into consideration all the testimonies and facts The court deliver a  verdict. The verdict is: Mr. Jonson is guilty. He has committed a crime. But as he is only 18 years old and it is his  first offence, he is sentenced  only to a two year suspended sentence. He shall be fined one thousand dollars. The accused, is everything clear?

Accused: Yes your honor.

Judge: In that case the trial is over. Thanks you, everyone.

 The trial is over. The accused is considered to be guilty and he is only given a suspended sentence.  What other offences and punishments do you know?
