 T: You are going to read a very interesting and useful talk. This is Crime Prevention Officer who is giving you some pieces of advice on how to prevent crimes.

Pre- Reading Activity: learning new words

Officer: Good afternoon and thank you for inviting me to talk to you here. There are a lot of burglaries every day and we advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes. I can assure you that burglars prefer easy opportunities, like a house which looks empty, rather than a well-protected one.

S1: What can you do to protect your home from burglary?

Officer: First, avoid leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on or the radio playing. Don’t leave any curtains wide open. Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place for example under a doormat or in a flower-pot.

If the burglar decides to break into your house in spite of the aforementioned precautions, you should remember about your windows. They are usually the point of entry for many burglars. Make sure that you double-check before you go to bed and that all the windows are locked. No matter how small your windows may be. You’d be surprised at the tiniest windows a determined burglar can manage to get through.

 Finally – the doors. Remember that not all the burglars break the door and enter the house. They can just knock and be invited in. So fit a chain and an eye hole. Use security locks. And install a burglar alarm as a final defence against burglars. If in the middle of the night you are woken up by body entering your house, don’t approach him – phone the police and wait for help.

S2: What other useful tips can you give so that we all could feel safe from crimes?

Officer: Don’t walk along dark streets late in the night on your own. Lock all doors and windows when you go out.

Don’t wear expensive jewellery.

Make sure your money is safe, e.g. wear a money belt.

Keep money and valuables in a safe. It’s a good idea to take photos of your valuable possessions. By doing that, if you’re burgled, you’ll be able to identify stolen property, which could lead to the thief being put behind bars.

 It is also possible to label valuable item such as TVs, with your postcode. If they are stolen, this will make them easier to find.

One more good idea is to ask for a crime prevention officer to visit your home and identify weak points in its security.
