A Work in pairs Read about some crimes and think of alternative punishments. 1 Two boys were caught writing large graffiti on the wall of a private house. 2 A couple went sailing illegally in dangerous waters. A search team had to spend hours looking for them. 3 A man was arrested for playing loud music late at night for several days, ignoring his neighbours' requests to turn it down. 4 A girl was caught stealing eggs from a farm close to her home.

1. Instead of imprisonment, the boys could be made to clean up the graffiti they created. This would teach them responsibility and help them understand the impact of their actions on others.<br /><br />2. The couple could be required to attend a safety training course and pay a fine for their reckless behavior. This would emphasize the importance of safety and discourage them from engaging in dangerous activities in the future.<br /><br />3. The man could be required to attend a noise disturbance training course and be given a warning or small fine for his disruptive behavior. This would help him understand the impact of his actions on his neighbors and encourage him to be more considerate in the future.<br /><br />4. The girl could be made to work at the farm for a few days to repay her debt. This would teach her the value of hard work and help her understand the consequences of her actions. Additionally, she could be given a chance to learn about responsibility and develop a sense of empathy for others.
