Text B

A teenage boy with a sweet tooth has become Ireland’s first Internet criminal after ordering £1,600 of chocolate on the credit card of an Argentinean.

 

The case began in Dublin, where a 15-year-old boy was surfing the Net on his parents’ computer. He found an American company offering home deliveries of chocolate. The boy called up the order form, filled in his name and address and placed an order for $2,000 of chocolate. When asked for his credit card number, he made one up. He typed in 16 digits at random.

 

Four days later, while his parents were out, a courier delivered the chocolate. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, hid the goods in his room.

Meanwhile, the credit card holder in Argentina was distressed to discover that he had paid $2,000 to an American company supplying chocolates. He denied any knowledge of the order. The American suppliers checked the order form, realized, the order had gone to Dublin rather than to Argentina and contacted the Irish police. The Irish fraud squad began investigating its first case of Internet fraud.

 

Police called at the boy’s home and witnessed him eating the evidence. According to one Irish weekend newspaper, his parents were stunned at the discovery. All three cooperated fully with the police and recovered the remains of the chocolate.

 

As a juvenile, the boy will not be charged with obtaining goods by false pretences and the American company donated the chocolate to a children’s charity in Dublin. The offender is said to be “sick of the sight of chocolate”.

Notes: rather than to – а не до

to donate – дарувати, жертвувати

to charge with - звинувачувати у

offender - правопорушник

Read the text and discuss the questions given below.

An American in Ukraine

I am teaching economics, in Kyiv. My home used to be in Washington, D.C. In America, most people live outside the cities. There are hundreds of thousands of single family houses outside the city. In America only the poor have to live close together in apartments.

 

To cover long distances people need cars. Almost everyone, including students, grandparents, workers, and house wives has a car. People drive everywhere. It is not the case here.

 

I have five brothers and no sisters. Large families were common in 1960’s. Today, most families have two, three or four children. I am surprised at the number of families with just one child here. Of course, in America houses are larger so taking care of children is easier. Many labour-saving appliances, like dishwashers, washing machines, and driers, make life easier for mothers.

 

In America, the apartments are classified by the number of bedrooms. I used to live in a two bedroom apartment (here it is three rooms) with a friend and his dog. Some single people live with their parents, but less than here. No married couples live with their parents.

When I visit my friends, we always do something. We don’t just sit around, smoke and drink vodka. Often we go to the gym(nasium). We go to the movies about once a week. In good weather we go roller skating.

 

We go out to eat about once a day. Most of my friends and I do not know how to cook. That is no problem. We just eat out or buy frozen food or canned food.

I am thirty years old. Here in Kyiv, people often ask “Why aren’t you married?” No one, except my Mum, asked me that in America. It seems like everyone gets married young here. In America, most people spend their twenties having fun, trying to make money, or taking post-graduate courses.

 

· Do you think the American likes our way of life? Prove your point.

· Does he often try to find excuses (знаходити оправдання) for what he sees in Ukraine?

· The man stayed in Kyiv in the early nineties. Has anything changed since then? Are his impressions always true? Discuss it.
