Teenager steals an iPad – level 1

31-08-2015 15:00

A child is in a salon. His mother works in the salon. He is waiting for her. He has an iPad. He is playing games on it.

A teenager stands next to him. He takes the iPad and runs away. A security camera films this. The police show people the video. They also tell people what the thief looks like.

The thief is sixteen years old. Police arrest him.

Difficult words: salon (a shop where workers make people look more beautiful), thief (a person who steals – takes things from other people), arrest (when the police catch you).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

How would you punish the teenager?
