Когда ему было только 15, Норман Флетчер совершил грабеж. Он вынес 8,25 фунтов стерлингов и шесть упаковок жевательной резинки. К несчастью для него, он ограбил свой местный магазин, так что полиция арестовала его, и он должен был заплатить штраф в размере 82,50 фунтов стерлингов. Позже он стал магазинным вором, но он был пойман после того, как он взял банку бобов из супермаркета. Он пошел в суд, и в течение судебного разбирательства его адвокат утверждал, что Норман должен был пойти на программу реабилитации. Она также сказала, что ее клиент был готов выполнять общественные работы. Тем не менее, судья отправил его в тюрьму на восемь недель. Блестяще, Норман вырвались из тюрьмы за день до того, как его приговор закончился. Он украл автомобиль, чтобы уйти, но он был остановлен за превышение скорости — он ехал более чем девяносто миль в час — и был отправлен обратно в тюрьму. Когда он был освобожден, Норман решил стать грабителем. Он пытался украсть сумку у старой женщины, но она ударила его так сильно ее зонтиком, что он начал кричать о помощи, и он был арестован за шум!

− I haven’t seen youaround recently. Where have you been?
− I went to Canada with my mum for a couple of weeks.
− Did you? Was it a nice journey?
− Oh, yes! My mum comes from Canada actually and we have lots of relatives there.
− Right.
− It was the first time. I’ve never seen most of them. We usually go to either to Greece or Italy on holiday and I’ve never had a chance to meet them. And a funny thing was that some of them speak English and the others speak French. I had some difficulty in communication.
− But you learn French at school, don’t you?
− I don’t unfortunately. I learn German. And I hate the sound of this language and its complicated grammar. I think I’ll try to talk with the head teacher about wether it’s possible to take a French course instead of German.

− Я не видела тебя в последнее время. Где ты был?
− Я ездил в Канаду с мамой на пару недель.
− Правда? Это было хорошее путешествие?
− О, да! Моя мама родом из Канады, и у нас там много родственников.
− Понятно.
− Первый раз. Большинство из них я никогда не видел. Обычно мы ездим в Грецию или Италию на отдых, и у меня никогда не было возможности встретиться с ними. И что самое забавное, некоторые из них говорят по−английски, а другие по−французски. У меня были трудности в общении.
− Но ведь французский в школе учишь?
− К сожалению, нет. Я учу немецкий. И я ненавижу звук этого языка и его сложную грамматику. Думаю, я попытаюсь поговорить с директором школы о том, можно ли взять курс французского вместо немецкого.
