Lesson 17

Juvenile Delinquency

Text A

Jennifer got off the bus from the university and began
walking towards the flat she shared with two other students.
On her way she had to buy some food and stopped in one of the
shops in the street. It was run by an Asian family, and
although the prices there were a little higher than in the
big supermarket further down the street, she did a lot of her
shopping there. The vegetables were fresher and they had
various things she couldn't get elsewhere. Mr Patel, the
owner of the shop, was checking through a list, but smiled,
as he always did, when he saw her come in.

She picked up a wire basket and walked towards the back of
the shop, where the rice was kept： The shop was divided by
three long aisles, with rows of shelves crammed with all
sorts of things. Except for her and Mr Patel , there were
only two other people there. They were two teenage boys, and
they were standing at the end of one of the aisles.

She glanced at them as she passed. They were both wearing
long, old- fashioned overcoats and they looked rather
ridiculous in them because the coats were too big. But such
things were popular with some teenagers at the time. 'Watch
out, stupid,' she heard one of them whisper to the other. She
walked on to the next aisle and found the rice she was
looking for.
