A- Now, here are some questions to help you get started.

1. What do you think about shoplifting?

I used to work in a big mall and I remember that I saw this situation very often. I
think it is a serious problem because security chases good and bad the same way
and client feel so uncomfortable all the time with some process when they go
shopping. Stores use the security cameras and others system to avoid been
robbed by shoplifting.

2. What do you think authorities should do with shoplifters?

I think that the authorities should take action on the matter, since this type of person
takes over what is foreign without anyone defending the rights of the true owner

3. Should people go to jail for shoplifting, why?

From my point of view this person should be taken to the jail because it is taking over
what is foreign and god doesn’t allow that.

4. How can shoplifting harm your reputation?

The shoplifting can harrm to your imagen, since when you do the wrong thing, nobody
trusts you and at the same time moves away from you and that damages your
reputation.

Writers often use and subtitles to help the reader. They are like signs on a road.
They tell you what’s coming.

The Subtitles are:
 Compulsive Shoplifters: 85%

Pg. 72 exercises: talk about your ideas.

I don’t agree totally with the idea of shoplifters as a situation of mental sickness,
because is not consider in these topics those who doesn’t like to work and that’s
it. Guys that instead of been stealing things in stores must be working in
factories, enterprise or their own business, so that we can have a better society
with better purposes.
