07 It's the law!

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 81 1 Look at the picture and listen to the detective talking to his assistant. What does Humphrey think ate the diamond? Well, Humphrey, an awful crime has happened in our town! A diamond has been stolen. But do you know who did it? Who's the criminal? Well, Detective, I think it was the judge. The judge has such a big coat that she could keep the diamond inside it, and no one would see. And. . . well. . . her hammer broke the glass when the diamond was taken. Hmm . . . the judge is here because she wants her hammer back. She spoke to me yesterday, and told me that someone had taken her hammer . . . and I've been friends with the judge since we were young. So I don't think she'd take the diamond. Maybe it was the reporter then, Detective? She loves diamonds - just look at her earrings! And she's only got one glove - but the other one is here, where the crime happened. And that's her brown hair you're looking at, isn't it? Hmmm. . . Humphrey! Haven't you seen the newspaper? There was an article about this museum today, before the diamond was taken. The newspaper has the headline ‘THE WORLD'S BIGGEST DIAMOND VISITS TOWN MUSEUM'and in the picture you can see the reporter's glove. She probably lost it before the diamond was taken, when she was writing the article. And what about the brown hair? Well, this isn't a person's hair. It's not a person's hair?! Then it must be from an animal. . . The girl who's wearing the green coat! Maybe she asked her puppy to steal the diamond? Hahaha! How would a puppy help you steal a diamond? Maybe it ate the diamond?! That could be where the diamond's hidden! Haha - the world's biggest diamond, eaten by a puppy! The puppy's much too small. Well, who do you think stole the diamond then, Detective? 3 Who do you think committed the crime?Why? Listen and check. Good question, Humphrey. I think that yesterday, when the museum was closed, someone came into the museum. They broke the diamond's case with the hammer, and while they were doing it, they cut their hand. Then, they gave the diamond to an animal, with brown hair that's good at climbing. The animal climbed out of the museum with the diamond, through the little window. It stopped to eat a banana on the way . . . and then it took the diamond home. The cameraman! He's got a cut on his hand . . . and he's got a pet monkey. . . Detective! You're great at solving crime! You're the best detective I've ever worked with! Oh, Humphrey! Let's take the cameraman to police station. . . . then the reporter's going to want to interview you - but who's going to film it?.

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 84 3 Complete the notes. Who do you think took the hamster? Why? Listen to the end of the story. Did you guess who took the hamster? ‘Well, ' said Luis, ‘Maria said that she was at singing practice - but she can't sing with a sore throat! So she must be lying! ' Mrs Brown asked Maria if she'd taken the hamster. ‘It's true' said Maria. 'I did it! I'm sorry I lied and so sorry I took the hamster. I was worried about it being alone at the weekend. It thought it'd be so lonely. ' ‘Oh no! ' said Mrs Brown. ‘You're right that the hamster is alone at the weekends. But you shouldn't have taken it. ' ‘I know. I'm sorry, ' said Maria. ‘If your parents say it's OK, then you can take the hamster home to look after next weekend, ' said Mrs Brown, 'and thank you, Luis - whenever there's a mystery, you're the one to solve it! ' ‘Thanks, ' said Luis, 'but look at the time. I'd better hurry or I'll be late for football! ' 2 Play ‘consequences’ in small groups. Use reported speech when the man and woman speak. Write the name of a man. He could be a famous man, or a cartoon character, or the name of someone from your class. Then, fold over your piece of paper and pass it to your left. Next, write the name of a woman. She could be someone famous, or a cartoon character, or the name of someone from your class. Then, fold over your piece of paper and pass it to your left. One day, the man and the woman meet. Write the place where they meet. For example, at the beach, or in the forest, or while they were running away from a tiger. Then, fold over your piece of paper and pass it to your left. When the man and the woman meet, the man asks the woman a question. Write the question the man asks. For example, he could say ‘Will you marry me?' ‘Am I your father?' or ‘Why are you following me?' Then, fold over your piece of paper and pass it to your left. After the man asks the question, the woman answers. Write what the woman says. For example, she could say ‘I hate you and I never want to see you again. ' ‘I like chocolate ice cream’ or ‘I wish my hair was made of snakes. ' Then, fold over your piece of paper and pass it to your left. Finally, because the man and the woman met and spoke something happens. Write what happens. For example, ‘They got married. ' ‘They went to live on the Moon'or ‘The woman puts a spider into the man's bag. ' Then, fold over your piece of paper and pass it to your left.

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 86 THE HOURS Marika Varga in the Capital Online criminal arrested Yesterday afternoon the police arrested a man at his home in the middle of town. The police claim that Robert McGinty, who is twenty years old and a computer science student at the local university, has been stealing people's identities on the Internet. ‘This man has committed many crimes online, ’ said Detective Elizabeth Sanchez, who spoke to reporters outside McGinty's home. ‘But he won't be able to commit any more. ’ When a reporter for Azure TVasked Detective Sanchez how her team had found McGinty, the police officer suggested that it was because of a seventy-two year-old woman called Sandra Preston. One July morning, two summers ago, people around the country found a picture on their computer. It was of a foot above a banana skin. Under the picture was a message: Watch you don't slip. ‘I couldn't believe it, ' said Sajid Bashir, who was one of the first people it happened to. ‘My computer didn't work any more. Then I went to the bank and they told me that£500 had gone from my account. Someone had stolen my personal information and used it to spend my money. ' ‘We didn't know who was doing it, ' said Detective Sanchez. ‘The person was too careful, too clever. Then we got a phone call. ' The call was from a woman called Sandra Preston, who complained to the police about the noise from the flat next to hers and asked them to do something about it. ‘All I can hear is a horrible whirr, whirr, whirr, ' she said. ‘It sounds just like my granddaughter's computer, but hers is much, much quieter. He must have fifty in there! ' Sandra claimed that her neighbour was a friendly man, and suggested that she didn't want to get him into any trouble. ‘But I just can't read at night! ’ she said. ‘It's too noisy. ' Detective Sanchez argued that anyone committing so many crimes online would need lots of computers - could Sandra Preston's neighbour be the criminal? The detective asked a judge for permission to search McGinty's flat and, a few days later, she and her team found thirty-six computers. It was a shock! ‘They were in every room, ' she said. Robert McGinty has admitted stealing people's identities online, but has claimed that he was only trying to learn more about how computers work for his university course. ‘Mr McGinty says that he's just a very hard-working student, ' Detective Sanchez joked. ‘But that's not true. ' Meanwhile, Sandra Preston is still surprised by what happened. ‘I just can't believe it, ' she said. ‘I know what Robert did was wrong, but I thought he was quite a nice young man. He made me a lovely banana cake for my birthday. '

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 88 2 Listen and read the text. Check your ideas in Activity 1. FINGERPRINTS What are fingerprints? Did you know that nobody has the same pattern of lines on their fingers and thumbs? They are already formed by the time we are born and they never change. They leave marks on the things we hold or touch. This happens because our skin produces oil and salt on our fingers. This mixture leaves a print on the things we touch. How was fingerprinting invented? In 1892, a police officer in Argentina discovered a fingerprint at a crime scene. lt was the first time fingerprints were used to find a criminal. In the same year, a British man called Francis Galton wrote a book that showed all the ways fingerprints can be identified. The way in which detectives identify fingerprints is still used today. How do the police use fingerprints today? The method for taking fingerprints has not changed very much either, but today the police can use lasers to help them find hidden fingerprints. Modern technology has also made police work much easier. Nowadays millions of criminal fingerprints are kept on an international electronic system and computer programs can match fingerprints very quickly and accurately.

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 90 1 Listen to the introductions. What is the topic for each one? 1 You will hear two friends talking about a science lesson. 2 You will hear 2 boys talking about a music event. 3 You will hear a girl telling her brother about a book. 3 Now, read Activity 2 again. Listen and, for each question, choose the correct answer. For each question, choose the correct answer. Question 1. You will hear two friends talking about a sailing course they went on. Did you enjoy the course? It was OK . . . I thought the instructor was a bit strict. I made a lot of new friends though. I think Mr Jones was very professional. He was only making sure we were safe. Sailing can be dangerous otherwise. The lake was beautiful, wasn't it? Mm. . . actually it was quite dirty and noisy. My room was so comfortable and I had a great view from the window. Perfect for watching the sunset. I'm going to ask for that room next year! If I don't get it, I'll complain! All right, but I suggest speaking to Mrs Harris about that . . . not Mr Jones! Question 2. You will hear a boy talking about a trip to a museum. I'm not sure I can come next week. I mean, my ankle still hurts. I fell badly during the museum trip today and it's hard to walk now. My teacher used to be a nurse so she knew how to put a bandage on my foot. It was painful at the time but my friend Kelly and I joked about it on the bus afterwards. I'll be annoyed if I'm not better before next week because my teacher thinks I'm doing well. She even said I might be able to be a team captain in the school quiz. Well, you can't argue with that, can you?! 4 Listen again and make notes. Check you have answered the questions correctly. For each question, choose the correct answer. Question 1.
