5 Complete the text with the words or phrases below. There are more words than you need.

When 1 offenders break the law and are caught, they expect to be punished. Depending on the
seriousness of the crime that they have been 2 charged with, this punishment may mean that they
have to spend time 3 behind bars. But, once their prison time has finished and they are allowed to
leave their 4 cells and return to the outside world, it’s vital that they’re given help to 5 go straight
and become valuable members of society.
One way to do this is to help them find work, but this isn’t always easy. When employers find out
that an applicant has been 6 convicted of a crime, they’re often 7 concerned that the potential
employee will 8 get into trouble again. That’s why, a few years ago, the government decided to
give a 9 reward to employers who offer work to ex-criminals and keep them for at least two years
by giving them £5,600 for each one taken on. It’s a policy which is really making a difference.

(might / steal) something.” “Perhaps she hit another student.” “I 3 would better cheat (better /
cheat) in my test today if that’s what the punishment is!”
Well, this actually happened to a 12-year-old student in Queens, New York. What had she done?
She had written on her school desk. Now, this is wrong. She 4 should not have written (should /
write) on the desk. It 5 must be (must / be) really annoying for schools to spend money on desks
and then soon afterwards have to have them cleaned. Schools should be 6 able to punish (able /
punish) students and perhaps make them clean the desks. But surely they 7 need to call (need / call)
the police!
The girl was taken to the local police station and 8 had to stay (have to / stay) there for several
hours. A spokesperson for the local education authority later admitted that the arrest probably 9
should have happened (should / happen) and that the police definitely 10 should have used
(should / use) handcuffs. The girl’s punishment was eight hours of community service, a book
report and an essay on what she’d learned from the experience.
