Unit 14

Unit 14 The wrong 12-year-old! LESSON 27 Did you hear about Jake Oliver, Dad? Jake Oliver? You know. He’s the world karate champion. He came first in his age-group last year. Oh, yes. He’s only 12, isn't he? That's right. He lives in Bristol. He was on his way home from a practice session last week, and a tall guy with a hood grabbed him. This guy wanted him to hand over his mobile phone. Jake said to himself, ‘I earned this phone! I worked really hard to be able to buy it! ' Obviously, he wouldn't want a thief to take it like that! Right! So the guy tried to punch him. Jake stepped sideways, and gave him one in the face. It broke the guy's nose, There was blood everywhere. The thief held his nose and ran! He picked the wrong 12-year-old! What a great story! Yeah, well, Dad. I want to learn karate now. I can understand that, Robert. But I don't want you to get into fights. What will your mother say? That's the question, Dad. I'd like you to ask her.
