Task 4. Choose the right word in the dialogue
Police officer: So, what did you (manage/help) to see?
Man: Well, I saw three people went round the side of the house: a girl, a little boy and an older boy.
Police officer: How did they (get/got) into the house?
Man: The older boy (slept/stood) in the corner – at the kitchen window. He opened it a bit – don’t know how. The girl picked the smaller (boy/toy) up and got onto the big lad’s shoulders and he put him through.
Police officer: He could go and (close/open) the door, yeah?
Man: Oh, yes. Then I saw them outside…
Police officer: How much (later/latter) was this?
Man: Only moments – two or three (hours/minutes) at the most. The girl was taking bags from the younger boy. The older boy took the (bags/balloons), put them in the car and they rode off. I was really shocked – I mean, the little one couldn’t have been more than nine.
Task 5. Cross out the wrong word
In my opinion, a lot of (crime/marriage) is caused through lack of security. My advice would be to (unlock/lock) up carefully and install an (alarm/antenna) in the house. I would also light up the (bedroom/garden) at night. Don’t open up the door to (people/children) you don’t know. Put a (number/chain) on your front door. Remember – it’s your home. If you are (suspicious/gullible), call the police. Don’t become a victim.
