problematic situations
1. i was in the supermarket yesterday and i saw a boy who was taking things 
from the counter and putting them straight into his bag. but i didn’t pay much 
attention to it and continued doing my shopping. When i came up to the cash 
desk to pay the boy was standing in front of me. i watched him pay only for one 
bar of chocolate and go out of the supermarket. 
2. My friend put me in a really difficult situation. She wanted to buy a dress for 
a party and asked me if i liked it. i thought she wouldn’t buy it if she didn’t like. 
but she did. And she paid a fortune for it. When she put it on for the party i 
understood Orange wasn’t her colour. but it was too late. 
3. One day my friend went to the country and asked me to look after his dog. i 
knew that he had nobody else to ask about it and i agreed. but the next day that 
dog spoiled my mother’s shoes and she told me to take it away. i didn’t know 
what to do. Finally, I gave it to my neighbour and decided not to tell my friend 
about it. but when my friend came back he found out that his dog was at my 
neighbour’s and got angry with me.
