Good morning. Thank you for inviting me to talk to

you today. I like speaking to students, especially
when theres a chance of making their lives a bit
safer. Just to start, does anyone know what the
most common crime is? No? Well, theft is the most
common crime in the UK. There are various kinds
of theft. For instance, robbery, when a thief takes
something away from someone personally. Like,
when youre walking in the street and someone
grabs your handbag or your mobile and runs away.
Thats robbery. Another form of theft is burglary,
when a thief breaks into your house and steals
your property.
Ok. Now, Id like to go on to talk about safety on
holiday. You probably know that when youre on
holiday abroad, youre in much more danger of
being robbed. This is because you probably dont
know the country very well. For example, you
might not realise that youre in a dangerous area.
One of the things you can do to protect yourself is
to keep your passport and money in the safe in the
hotel. You can always go back and get them if you
need them. Another thing you can do is take an old
mobile with you on holiday. These new smart
phones are very popular with thieves all over the
world. Its safer just to take an old one.
