Problem situations
1. I was in the supermarket yesterday and I saw a boy who was taking things from the shelves and putting it into his 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 “No, orange isn’t her colour”. But it was too late. People started to laugh at her.
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 in some days that dog spoiled my mother’s shoes and said to take it away. I didn’t know what to do. Finally, I gave 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.
